Drying

Continuous drying and dewatering systems as well as spin-dryers with batch loading

The drying systems are used to dry lettuce, herbs, vegetables and fruit. In addition, the machines can be used to shorten the draining times of canned (e.g. mushrooms, pickles) or defrosted products. Other foods such as crab, caviar (substitute) or sesame seeds can also be dewatered. All solutions can be integrated into processing lines. Two main procedures are used to dry the products:

  • The centrifuges spin-dry the product. The KS series is comprised of smaller spin-dryers for manual batch loading. The K850 and K650 drying systems are large centrifuges for continuous, fully automatic drying and for high capacities. All centrifuges are suitable for versatile applications.
  • In the belt dewatering systems, the product is continuously dewatered using air blowers. They are usually combined with an additional drying solution. Solutions are available for whole fruits and vegetables or for light, leafy products.

In addition to the large dryers for the food industry and the smaller spin-dryers, we also offer a dewatering press that removes water from pickled or thawed products, for example for the production of cold cuts or vegan and non-vegan fillings.

SMART Solutions for intelligent, networked production

With the SMART option, KRONEN makes communication-enabled machines and processing lines possible. Wherever production managers, technicians or foremen are located, they can check the production status of the machine or line on their laptop or mobile device at any time. The collected data can be used to make production processes even more transparent and efficient, for example in terms of productivity, flexibility, quality and safety. Do you have any special requirements? We can develop an individual, custom-fit solution for you.
