DRUM DRYER

Drum drying is an effective and efficent drying method used for drying materials mostly foods.   

The products to be dried are fed to the top of hot drum surface. The product passes between the rolls and forms a thin layer on the drum. When the rotating drum completes each turn, the dried products are peeled off the drum with the help of a special knife. Dry products in the form of thin layers are crushed with the help of a mill and turned into powder or flake form.

One of the most important properties of drum drying is its effectiveness. It is possible to get higher gelatinization rates near 100% by using drum dryers.

Drum dryers are easy to operate and they have the ability work with different kind of products.  Drum dryers are usually used in food sector. 

If the slurry of a starchy product is heated above the gelling temperature and then dried, the resulting modified products is called pregelatinized.  Thus, the end product could be pregelatinized starch or pregelatinized flour.

Pregelatinized products are natural binders and an excellent stabilizers. They have thickening effect and they are soluable in cold water unlike natural starch and flour. 

Pregelatinized products are alternatives to other modified starches, concentrated soy, guar gum, xanthan gum and fibers in several industrial applications 

* Pre-cooked

* Green Labelled without E-Code

* Low microbiological charge 

* Cold water soluble 

* Optimum AW values (0,2-0,3)

* Freeze thaw resistant

* Stable viscosity

* Acting as natural binder 

* Behaving as thickening agent

* Extending shelf life of products 

* Increasing water absorption

* Improving the quality of end products

* Providing some cost decrease in recipes

Not only manufacturing drum dryers, we setup pregelatinized starch or pregelatinized wheat flour production lines completely. 

We would be happy to give further information about drum drying and our machines.  Our technical experts will offer the best solution for you at reasonable price.
