Fluid bed systems are integral to the food and feed industries for their versatile and hygienic processing capabilities. These systems are specifically designed to cater to the stringent hygiene standards required in these sectors. With their uniform and gentle drying methods, fluid bed systems ensure the preservation of the high quality of various food and feed ingredients. They are adept at a range of processes including drying, cooling, roasting, expanding, solvent removal, cooking, and heating.
To further optimize the drying process, especially for sensitive products, TEMA Process fluid bed dryers employ multi-temperature zoning. This feature, coupled with air recycling, significantly enhances energy efficiency while providing gentle drying at lower temperatures and extended drying times.
Fluid bed systems, with their advanced design and operation, are pivotal in achieving the desired product quality and consistency in the food and feed industries.
Special food applications
Citrus fruit
For high quality pectin extraction TP developed a system for stripping and drying of citrus peel and pulp : Washed peel and pulp , after dewatering are dried in a TEMA Process combined ethanol stripper / dryer with ethanol recovery.
Bread crumbs
Dried Bread Crumbs are fine crumbs made from bread that has been allowed to dry until it is brittle. They are used as topping, a coating or as a filler. Tema does supply the complete line after the bread oven to mill dry and convey the bread crumbs
Fish feed farming
Low temperature dryers with extended residence time for gentle drying of starter and grower feed in hygienic design.
Dairy
Highly hygienic low temperature drying to preserve food quality in lactose powder with automated CIP systems. TEMA Process lactose dryers are used directly after centrifugation or as a final drying step after spray drying.
