We’re Back at
ProSweets/ISM 2026!

From 1 to 4 February 2026, we return to ProSweets Cologne and ISM—the world’s leading combined trade fair for the sweets and snack industry.

As ProSweets focuses on production technologies, machinery, packaging and processing solutions, ISM highlights the global sweets and snacks market. Together, the two fairs cover the entire industrial value chain. For Tummers Simon Dryers Technology, this event is a natural home — an industry where our equipment has been a trusted standard for decades!

A Century of Innovation
in Drying Technology

With over 100 years of experience in designing and manufacturing drying and cooling equipment, we are proud to offer some of the most reliable and energy‑efficient systems in the confectionery and snack industry. Our technologies are used worldwide across food and non-food processing applications, backed by proven engineering and innovative design.

From Mexico to Germany, from the UK to Japan, our dryers support manufacturers in producing consistent, high‑quality products at scale.

Our Core Solutions
Tubular Dryers

A key technology for many confectionery processes—especially gums and jellies—our Simon Tubular Dryer provides a continuous, energy‑efficient solution for (re)processing molded starch.

  • Indirect steam heating for superior energy use;
  • Minimal airflow required → less dust formation;
  • Safer operation due to low dust‑laden air volumes;
  • Often paired with a Tubular Cooler for precise moisture and temperature control.

These systems are known for their reliability and low operational complexity.

Our Core Solutions
Drum Dryers

Our precision‑engineered Drum Dryers are designed for cereal, starch, fruit mixtures and many other viscous food products.

  • Creates a thin, uniform product film;
  • Ensures highly efficient moisture removal;
  • Produces superior, consistent drying results.

Built to ensure optimized performance, our Drum Dryers deliver the efficiency and reliability required by high‑volume producers.

Why ProSweets/ISM
Matters

The strength of this combination lies in how it brings together suppliers, manufacturers, innovators, and retailers under one roof.

  • ProSweets Cologne is the only global trade fair focused entirely on suppliers to the sweets and snacks industry—including machinery, systems, packaging solutions, production technology, refrigeration, and food safety.
  • Running concurrently, ISM hosts over 1,600 exhibitors from 70 countries, making it the most comprehensive showcase of sweets and snack trends worldwide.
  • Together, these fairs create a 360° view of the industry—linking innovation directly with application.
