Non-Tumbler

Applications & Use Cases

• Drying granular products in a static environment.
• Heating ingredients where agitation is undesirable.
• Curing certain food items without mechanical stress.
• Pre-drying steps for delicate food components.
• Maintaining product integrity during thermal processing.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities can range from several kilograms to hundreds of kilograms, depending on the chamber volume and product density.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on heating element size.

Heating method

Units typically employ electric resistance heating, though some may use steam or hot air circulation.

Temperature range

Operating temperatures commonly range from ambient up to 150-200°C, with precise control for various applications.

Material construction

Process contact parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

The footprint for a non-tumbler can vary significantly, from compact benchtop units to larger floor-standing models requiring several square metres.
