Dryer-cooler for solvent-extracted meal
Achieve optimal moisture and temperature control for solvent-extracted vegetable-oil meals, ensuring product quality and energy efficiency with advanced dryer-cooler technology.
The Dryer-Cooler from Crown Iron Works streamlines your oilseed and biofuel production with a unique counter-current drying and cooling method, significantly enhancing thermal efficiency. Ideal for applications in oilseed processing and plant-based protein production, it effectively produces soybean meal, plant protein isolates, and more. This compact unit handles both small pilot projects and large-scale continuous operations, offering capacities tailored to your needs.
Its semi-fluidized bed design minimizes material attrition, supported by a robust vertical multiple tray configuration that reduces footprint. Automation is facilitated by adjustable automatic gate mechanisms, while energy efficiency is achieved through optimal airflow distribution.
Constructed with a one-piece steel shell and hard-surfaced steel sweep arms, this Dryer-Cooler ensures long-lasting durability and minimal leakage. Crown Iron Works provides thorough customization and engineering support, ensuring seamless integration and performance within existing production lines. Moreover, its compliance with industry standards enhances reliability and safety for oilseed processors, biofuel manufacturers, and specialty chemical producers.
