The Drum Dryer by Sensitar dries potato mash by applying even layers on a heated cylinder for precise moisture evaporation. It is equipped with an alloy coating, hermetic steam-recycling cover, and PreMillSifter, ensuring minimal waste, high capacity, and energy efficiency.
The drum dryer is fitted with a specialized alloy coating, which facilitates the continuous application of a thin, evenly distributed layer of mash onto the heated cylinder surface. This design ensures precise moisture evaporation, resulting in uniformly dried potato sheets. A hermetically sealed cover collects and recycles the steam generated during the drying process.
To dry potato mash, a thin layer is introduced onto the heated cylinder, evaporating excess moisture. The process is repeated layer by layer until sufficient thickness is achieved. The dried layer is then scraped off and broken into flakes by the PreMillSifter. The side seal ensures maximum product utilization with minimal waste, and the replaceable knife guarantees an even product.
