Carousel Dryer and Cooler for Food
Food is one of the human necessities. Long ago, the human population is
low, and humans can depend on foraging to gather food. With the increase
of human population, they shifted to farming for producing a higher
number of food.
Food is naturally perishable, so a method of preservation is
needed to reduce or stop spoilage.
Drying is one of the most effective ways of preserving foods,
usually involving the removal of water by application of heat. Besides
energy consumption, the drying process will change the color, texture,
odor, and other properties of solid products. Hence it is of the utmost
importance for a dryer to
dry effectively with low energy consumption.
The
carousel dryer is developed to dry the food with small space
requirement, quick product change, lower energy requirement, lower air
volume requirement, gentle tumbling across the drying deck, and uniform
moisture.
