Applications
Brewing / Distilling
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.
-
-
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 are ideally suited
for the application of re-processing moulding starch
after use. It provides a continuous 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.
