Coconut Meal Drying Systems 

For coconut meal drying, Kerone primarily recommends fluidized bed dryers and flash dryers as the optimal technologies, depending on particle size, initial moisture, and production scale. Fluidized bed dryers are ideally suited for coconut meal because the suspension of particles in an upward airstream creates maximum surface area exposure to the drying medium, delivering very uniform and rapid moisture reduction without the thermal gradients that can occur in static-bed or belt configurations. Flash dryers, operating on a pneumatic conveying principle, are preferred where throughput is very high and inlet moisture is below 15%, as the extremely short residence time (1–5 seconds) in the drying duct eliminates any risk of heat damage to sensitive protein or flavor compounds. Kerone offers both standalone systems and modular combinations to suit specific coconut meal production requirements.
