Non-Tumbler

• Used for static heating or drying of products where tumbling or agitation is undesirable.
• Suitable for delicate food items requiring gentle thermal processing.
• Applied in industries for curing, baking, or dehydrating without mechanical stress.
• Utilised in pharmaceutical processes for drying granules or powders without attrition.

Typical heating method

Commonly electric, gas, or steam-heated, depending on the model and application.

Temperature range

Typically capable of operating from ambient up to 250°C, varying by design.

Internal volume

For this class of equipment, internal volumes can range from small batch units (e.g., 0.5 m³) to larger industrial chambers (e.g., 5 m³ or more).

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for industrial applications, with power consumption varying significantly based on size and heating capacity.

Construction material

Typically manufactured from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for food and pharmaceutical contact parts, with an insulated outer casing.

Footprint

Dimensions vary widely; buyers should consult the seller for exact unit specifications, but expect a significant footprint for industrial models.

• What is a non-tumbler used for?

  A non-tumbler is used for heating or drying products that require a static environment, meaning the product remains stationary during the process. This prevents damage or alteration that might occur with agitation.

• What types of products are suitable for a non-tumbler?

• How does a non-tumbler differ from a conventional dryer?

• What maintenance is typically required for a non-tumbler?

• Can a non-tumbler be used for both heating and drying?

Heating and drying equipment for food processing is valued for consistent performance and long operational life when properly maintained. Buyers typically prioritise units with robust construction, reliable temperature controls, and documented maintenance history. Common strengths include energy efficiency and compatibility with existing production lines. When purchasing used models, inspectors should verify heating elements function reliably, check for corrosion or wear affecting interior chambers, and confirm all temperature gauges read accurately. Equipment from reputable manufacturers generally commands confidence in the second-hand market.
