Spent grains are successfully processed on Simon tubular dryers. Typically the initial moisture content may be around 65% which is reduced to about 10% or less in the processed product.

Prior to drying in the tubular dryer the grains are often passed through a Simon mechanical de-watering screw press to reduce moisture content from as much as 80% to 65%, thereby conserving energy.

FLOUR & STARCH:

Simon tubular dryers are widely used used in the preparation of special flours. Typical applications include:

• Heat treatment and moisture reduction of flours for soup thickeners.
• Enzyme activation.
• Treatment of special flours to prevent infestation and give long shelf life.
• Treatment for flour products for industrial use.
• Treatment of biscuit and cake mixture flours.

CONFECTIONERY:

The Simon tubular dryer and cooler is ideally suited for the application of re-processing moulding starch after use. It provides a continous process producing the starch for re-use at the right temperature in a relatively short time. The process is more economical than batch drying, saving both in energy cost and in quantity of starch required for re-circulation.

CHEMICAL & PHARMACEUTICAL:

In the chemical industry, wherever moisture must be removed from large volumes of granular substances, powders, or slurries - whether organic or inorganic - Simon tubular dryers offer an economical and efficient answer to many drying problems. For organic solutions or noxious dusts, the stationary shell design of the Simon tubular dryer assures a tight seal, eliminating the hazard associated with leakage.

CEREALS:

Simon tubular dryers are used extensively in maize milling plants for drying maize grits, maize germ and gluten meal. They are also in use in breakfast food factories for pre-heating cereal grains prior to processing and for the conditioning of soya beans.
