Raw Heat Drying Systems

Hot-air belt, tray and fluidized-bed drying systems by SS Engineers & Consultants for fruits, vegetables and herbs

SS Engineers & Consultants designs raw heat drying systems that deliver uniform dehydration with export-grade quality. Our portfolio covers multi-pass belt dryers for gentle, continuous throughput; tray dryers for flexible small-batch processing; and fluidized-bed dryers for rapid, even moisture removal in particulates. Hygienic SS304/SS316 construction, smooth welds, and washdown-friendly geometry help maintain food safety while minimizing downtime.

Airflow dynamics and temperature/humidity profiles are engineered using CFD-backed best practices to prevent case hardening and preserve color, flavor, and nutrients. Integrated blanching (where required), air knives, de-watering, inline metal detection, and sieving ensure consistent particle size and safety. Intelligent controls with recipe management, data logging, and energy optimization (heat recovery wheels/plate exchangers) reduce OPEX while achieving target final moisture and water activity (aw) for shelf-stable products.

Key Features:
  • Continuous belt, batch tray, and fluidized-bed configurations for varied product forms
  • Precise control of air temperature, velocity and RH for uniform moisture profiles
  • Energy-saving heat recovery and insulated plenums to reduce thermal losses
  • Hygienic SS304/SS316 fabrication with tool-less access and easy sanitation
  • Recipe management, data logging, SPC and audit-ready batch reports
  • Inline QA options: metal detection, sieving, optical sorting and checkweighing
