How Tema Process Supports the Food & Feed Market

The food and feed industry demands strict control over product quality, hygiene, and consistency. Moisture levels must be precisely managed to ensure shelf life, prevent microbial growth, and maintain product functionality. At the same time, ingredients can be heat-sensitive, fragile, or prone to degradation under mechanical stress.

Producers must also operate under increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption, maintain traceability, and comply with evolving safety standards. Production lines often need to handle multiple product variations while maintaining stable and repeatable performance.

Tema Process brings decades of experience in thermal processing for bulk solids. We support food and feed producers by delivering engineered systems that balance performance, product protection, and operational efficiency.

Our approach focuses on:

Maintaining consistent and controlled moisture reduction
Protecting delicate particles from damage
Ensuring stable operation and repeatable process results
Supporting hygienic design requirements
Optimizing energy use across the production line

We work closely with customers to understand their raw materials, throughput requirements, and quality objectives. Based on this, we provide solutions that integrate seamlessly into new or existing production environments.

How does drying in the food & feed industry work?

Watch the video to see: How our belt dryers provide gentle and consistent drying. – The role of our air dehumidifiers in creating optimal drying conditions. – The seamless integration of these technologies to boost productivity and product quality.

Applications

Therma Process supports a wide range of food and feed applications, Across all these products, the goal is the same: controlled moisture reduction, hygienic processing and consistent final product quality

Food: Bread crumbs, panko, rusk, return bread, cereals puffed/flaked/extruded (wheat/rice/spelt/corn), rice, spices, herbs and grains, pepper, gelatin, meat, dairy, cheese sprinkles, milk powder, lactose, cocoa beans, egg powder/yolk, erythritol, cassava, citrus peel, citrus pulp, tomato pulp, starch, potato starch, sugar/dextrose, textured proteins, TVP, meatless/soy protein products.

Feed: Soy meal, soybean and pulse protein ingredients, animal feed, fish meal, fish feed, aquafeed, pet food, grass seed.

How fluid bed drying works

Fluid bed dryers work by fluidizing powders or granules in a controlled stream of process air, creating uniform contact between air and product. This gives gentle, even drying and makes the technology highly suitable for many food and feed materials. Multi-temperature zoning and air recycling can further improve energy efficiency while protecting sensitive products during longer drying cycles.

How thermal treatment adds food safety value

In applications such as spices, herbs and grains, thermal processing can also be used for food safety. Steam sterilization uses precise control of time, temperature and moisture and can achieve more than a 5-log pathogen reduction without unnecessarily compromising product quality. This gives producers a clean, reliable alternative where microbial reduction and product integrity both matter.

Why air humidity control matters

In food environments, process performance is not only about product temperature but also about air conditions. Proper dehumidification keeps the dew point under control and helps prevent condensation on products, ceilings and equipment. This reduces hygiene risks, avoids moisture-related disruption, improves worker comfort and supports a more stable and energy-efficient production environment, especially in meat processing areas

When belt drying is the better choice

For products that need especially gentle thermal treatment, belt drying is often the better solution. Wet product is continuously and evenly distributed onto a perforated belt, allowing controlled, consistent drying with minimal stress on the material. In applications such as gelatin, belt dryers can be combined with hygienic dehumidification and multi-zone temperature control for reliable, repeatable results.

Hygiene, product quality & consistency

The added value is practical and measurable in daily production: better control of color, shape and texture in bread crumb lines, efficient drying of citrus materials with strong heat and mass transfer, and gentle treatment of protein-rich feed ingredients in aquafeed production. In short, the right process setup helps improve quality consistency, hygiene, throughput and energy performance at the same time.
