Revolutionizing Food Processing with Advanced Drum Drying Solutions
Drum dryers play a pivotal role in the food processing industry, producing dry flakes from a variety of materials. Kadant Solutions, with its innovative technologies like the ProFlake™ blade and the AccuFlake™ PRO blade holder, is not just enhancing the efficiency and safety of the flaking process, but also optimizing the way food processing operates. These technologies improve product removal efficiency and significantly reduce maintenance downtime in drum drying operations, setting new industry standards.
Advanced Drum Drying Technologies
When a thin layer of material is applied to the surface of a heated drum it’s called drum drying. Drum drying can be less efficient if the blade systems do not effectively remove the dried product. When the AccuFlake PRO blade holder and the ProFlake blade are used together, there is improved conformity with the drum. This enhances product removal and reduces operational complications. These advancements are meeting the high standards of efficiency, safety, and compliance required in the food processing industry, and can be trusted to deliver consistent results.
Optimized Product Removal
Traditional drum dryers often struggle with product removal, leading to waste and reduced yields. The ProFlake blade, with its thin profile and cutting-edge bi-metal technology, more effectively removes the product from the drum, thereby maximizing yield and minimizing waste. This advanced technology, which is not just about efficiency but also about cost-effectiveness, is essential for maintaining consistent operation.
Safe, Two-Minute Blade Changes
The AccuFlake PRO blade holder revolutionizes the process of changing blades in drum dryers by reducing the time required from hours to minutes. It prioritizes safety with features designed for easy removal and safer maintenance, ensuring a secure working environment.
Reduced Wear and Tear
The AccuFlake PRO blade holder reduces excessive wear on drum dryers caused by high loading forces and misalignment. The combination of the Accuflake PRO and thin Proflake blade allows for self-conforming under lower load force. This will not only ensure that the drum surface will not be damaged, but it can lead to energy savings.
HACCP International Food Safe Certified
The AccuFlake PRO blade holder and ProFlake blade drum dryer technologies are HACCP International certified, meeting rigorous hygiene and safety standards in food processing. This certification minimizes the risk of contamination and ensures compliance with international food safety regulations.
With its advanced product technologies, Kadant Solutions is focused on revolutionizing the drum drying process in the food processing industry. These innovations reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and ensure compliance with stringent food safety standards. By integrating these systems, food processors can achieve higher efficiency, enhanced safety, and improved product quality, setting new benchmarks in food processing technology.
