Single Drum Dryer – The Trusted Choice for Efficient Drying

Backed by 100+ years of experience built into every unit, the Tummers Single Drum Dryer with applicator rolls is the market’s most reliable industry for drying and dehydrating pasty or pulpy products into powders or flakes.

Combining a simple operating principle with robust engineering, it enables manufacturers worldwide to transform liquid and pasty products into consistent, high-quality dried materials.

The principle behind drum drying has remained successful for generations. A thin layer of product is evenly applied onto the surface of a heated rotating drum. As the drum turns, heat is transferred directly into the product, allowing moisture to evaporate efficiently. The dried layer is then removed from the drum surface, creating a consistent flake product ready for further processing.

This straightforward approach delivers excellent control over drying conditions, product quality and process efficiency!

Designed for Consistency and Quality

The Tummers Single Drum Dryer is engineered to provide uniform drying results through precise control of heat transfer, residence time and product handling.

The controlled formation of the product layer ensures consistent moisture content, texture and solubility. This makes the technology suitable for a wide range of applications, including starches, fruit pulps, cereals, baby foods, and biological materials.
