Innotech Drying Center saves dollars
The new Drying Center was developed by Innotech Engineering Ltd. especially for herb-growing farmers whose spread sheets are hit by the high costs of the drying process. A special feature of the Drying Center is the continuous recirculation of the drying air, which is mixed with a presetable and computercontrolled amount of fresh air. Actual energy demand in the drying process is significantly reduced. Since the herbs are placed in special boxes (30 boxes per trolley, up to 10 trolleys) and not presented as bulk, there are no crumble losses and a semi-continuous "first-in-first-out" operation can be implemented. The daily processing quantity of the dryer can be customized up 3000 kilograms (8038 pounds) per day. The unit can also be used for drying of fruits and vegetables.
