The Simon Tubular Dryer and Cooler offer an ideal solution for (re-)processing molded starch, presenting a continuous and cost-effective alternative to batch drying. Designed for efficiency, these machines contribute to significant energy savings, improved quality and reduce the quantity of starch needed for recirculation.

The Tubular Dryer features a steam-heated tube bundle rotating within a casing. Lifters positioned around the tube bundle pick up the material, conveying it over the heating tubes during rotation. The rotary joints at each end enable steam inlet and condensate collection, making it an indirect contact dryer. Unlike other dryers requiring heated airflow, the Tubular Dryer minimizes dust creation.

While a minimal airflow is necessary to remove evaporated moisture, a simple reverse jet bag filter efficiently manages the process, even with large capacities. Essential for Gum and Jelly manufacturing, the Tubular Dryer ensures the correct moisture content and temperature, often paired with a Tubular Cooler. The cooler’s design mirrors the dryer but uses water as a coolant. Typically installed together, the dryer can be mounted atop the cooler with a straightforward chute for dried starch transfer.

Using steam as the heating medium, the Tubular Dryer efficiently returns condensed steam to the boiler, a method superior to dryers using hot air, which vent warm exhaust air without energy recovery. Moreover, the Tubular Dryer’s minimal sweep air requirement results in smaller dust filtration units compared to hot air dryers, reducing operational complexities and costs. Notably, its  lower volumes of dust-filled air make the Tubular Dryer safer, mitigating explosion hazards associated with air-heated dryers.

Precision-engineered for the specific dehydration needs of Cereal/Starch/Fruit and many more mixes, our Drum Dryer with Applicator Rolls represents the best of the best in drying technology. This machine is known for an optimized the drying process with high efficiency and superior results.

The process starts as the product enters the gap (or first bath) between the first applicator roll and either a contra-rotating roll or a plate. Here, it is contained between the nip of the main roll and the first applicator roll, creating a thin, uniform film on the main drying roll.

Efficient removal of excess product from the first applicator roll is achieved through a scraper, forming an additional layer of material—a ‘sausage’—between the first and second applicator rolls. This secondary layer undergoes a repetition of the process as it is drawn into the nip of the main roll and the second applicator roll, keeping and improving the thickness on the main drum. Multiple applicator rolls further improve this thickness, ensuring a controlled and efficient drying cycle.

As the drum rotates, moisture is evaporated from the product film, resulting in dried product. The final touch is the removal of the dried product by a precision (doctor) knife, completing the cycle with finesse.

Embracing a classic design that has stood the test of time, drum dryers continue to be integral to the food and non-food industries, renowned for their simplicity and user-friendly nature. Among these, the Double Drum Dryer emerges as a powerhouse, especially tailored for the precision drying of free-flowing liquid products like milk or spent brewers’ yeast.

In operation, the material slated for drying enters the nip between two drying drums. The thickness of the product film undergoes seamless adjustment by fine-tuning the gap between these rotating cylinders. As the dual drums rotate, moisture departs from the product. A product sheet will be left over by the end only to be extracted by the doctor knives.

Optimizing the potential of a double drum dryer often involves pre-treating the feed liquid through methods such as filtration, centrifugation, or evaporation. This strategic concentration of the liquid significantly reduces the initial water content. The payoff is twofold: smaller dryers are required, thanks to the diminished water load, and substantial energy savings are realized.

In essence, the utilization of a double drum dryer becomes a masterstroke in efficiency, where a thoughtful upfront concentration transforms the drying process into a streamlined, resource-efficient operation.
