The Drum Dryer will dry cooked potatoes until flakes are formed. The drum is heated from the inside using steam; the mash is applied to the drum by means of a screw conveyor.
Any product which is too hard, or peel remains, will be collected in the bottom satellite drum and be discharged. The different satellite drums, as well as the hot drum and the carefully adjusted air extraction, will ensure an even, thin film of mash, which is subsequently ground in the flake mill.
Through cooperation with their partner Idaho Steel, they have developed drum dryers with capacities of up to 1200kg/hr. This is 25% more than our competitors, allowing to make the most of potato by-product.
