Drying & thermal processing
Remove a defined amount of water while preserving the required product characteristics. Start with the wet material, thickness and final quality before comparing the dryer’s rated power.
Criteria that guide selection
Wet load per batch or hourly throughput; initial and final moisture with their basis; heat sensitivity; treatment uniformity; airflow; cleaning and contact materials.
Avoid misleading comparisons
Tray loading is not dry-product throughput. A mass balance predicts neither drying time nor energy use. Request tests on the actual material.
What we will ask the supplier
An exact reference, conditions for stated performance, included accessories, site requirements and applicable documents. Evidence, dates and unconfirmed points accompany the comparison. A category image does not represent an available model.
