Why Choose Kerone Batch Dryer

In radio frequency drying, material is exposed to an electronic field that alternates about 40,000,000 times per second. When the field alternates, the water molecules in the material also alternate. The resulting friction causes the water to heat uniformly throughout the product. Radio frequency drying can save energy because only the product itself is heated. Another benefit is that no equipment warm up or cool down is necessary. The technology typically replaces process steam heat.

The RF Web Dryer rapidly removes moisture from the web at low temperatures and prevents the migration of coating solids caused by conventional drying which increases web strength and product quality.

Types and Features of Batch Dryer

Tray Type Batch Dryer: The tray type batch dryer is widely used for drying powders, granules, and solid materials in controlled batches. It ensures preferential heating, selectively drying products at the wettest sections, resulting in uniform moisture content throughout the material regardless of uneven moisture at the start. This feature improves product consistency and quality.

Vacuum Batch Dryer: Designed for heat-sensitive materials, vacuum batch dryers operate under reduced pressure to lower drying temperatures. With rapid and efficient volumetric heating, they help minimize drying times by eliminating long dwell periods required in conventional systems. This reduces the quantity of product in the drying cycle and shortens changeover time between batches.

Radio Frequency (RF) Batch Dryer: RF batch dryers provide instant ON/OFF control, eliminating heat-up and cool-down times associated with traditional dryers. This significantly increases production throughput while maintaining precise moisture control. The technology ensures deep, uniform heating for consistent final product quality.

Advanced Design Features: Modern batch dryers are engineered without the need for accumulation rollers required in festooned convection or infrared systems. By eliminating such components, they reduce maintenance requirements and save valuable floor space—often requiring only one-fifth of the space needed for conventional hot-air or IR dryers—making them highly efficient for industrial applications.
