Conveyor Drying Theory put to practice

Did you know that most conveyor convection dryers are operating in excess of 10%-30% below their potential efficiency? Even in smaller production lines, this is a major source of lost revenue. In this seminar you will learn basic drying theory through a combination of focused and concentrated lectures along with several hands-on laboratory sessions.

With emphasis on machine and process technology, this food extrusion workshop consists of theoretical sessions and practical demonstrations in Bühler's state-of-the-art extrusion pilot plant.

By attending you will:

• Gain valuable knowledge of drying theory
• Relate drying theory to your product
• Develop the skills to effectively evaluate your dryers and produce a baseline for improvements
• Be able to train your colleagues on how to improve efficiency, increase production, and improve product quality
• Identify the most common dryer pitfalls
