Modern vacuum dryer in food processing
The Bucher Merk DryCab vacuum drying oven offers a wide range of applications for drying liquid, lumpy or powdery products. The vacuum drying process prevents oxidation, which guarantees gentle drying. Batch processing enables flexible production quantities, ideal for smaller quantities. In addition, automated and controlled process sequences ensure optimum control of the vacuum and temperature profiles.
Applications for the vacuum drying oven range from drying flavours, malt and plant extracts to fruit, vegetable pastes, meat extracts and hydrolyzed vegetable proteins. It is also ideal for processing pharmaceutical products, food supplements, probiotics, enzymes and infant formula. The gentle drying method preserves the valuable ingredients of the products.
The design of the DryCab drying cabinet is based on several horizontally arranged heating plates that lie on top of each other with minimal dead space. By using a vacuum system, the drying process is carried out at low temperatures, which maximizes product quality. With a vacuum range of 0.5 to 100 mbar and a capacity of 1 to 3,000 kg per batch, it is suitable for both smaller and larger production quantities.
