Harter at Anuga FoodTec: gentle and reliable drying (advertorial)

Heat pump based condensation drying is an innovative technology now finding its way into the food industry. The energy-saving technology developed by drying system manufacturer Harter is particularly attractive for food producers. It employs an alternative physical approach: extremely dry, unsaturated air is used to gently dry products at low temperatures. Quality drying results are obtained at temperatures between 20 and 90 °C, as appropriate for the specific application.
The system combines efficient air dehumidification with targeted air routing. This ensures uniform and reliable drying to achieve the desired residual moisture content. Foodstuff, but also any primary and secondary packaging, is thus processed in a very gentle way in order to retain maximum product integrity. The integrated heat pump technology provides highest efficiency of the drying process. Drying is always accomplished in a closed system and is, thus, fully independent of the climate. Production environments are not affected. Dryers installed so far have demonstrated positive effects on aroma, ingredients, flavours as well as product appearance.
The new small-series trolley dryer was developed for drying rather small quantities of quality food. The AIRGENEX®food trolley dryer includes a trolley to accommodate various sizes and designs of plates or trays. This allows drying of products placed separately or at filling heights of 100 mm maximum. The supporting plates or trays may be exchanged or rearranged in almost no time to make the trolley ready for the specific application. For larger quantities, Harter designs special drying systems for batch or continuous drying, as appropriate for the specific product and production process. AIRGENEX®food dryers may also be used for cooling purposes.    •
