Heat Pump Multi-Band Dryers 

Kerone designs Heat Pump Multi-Band Dryers with independently controllable air zones on each band level, giving customers a genuinely tiered drying profile rather than a single air condition simply blown through a stacked belt structure. Our engineering team calculates band count, band length and inter-band transfer design based on your required residence time and available floor space, so you get the maximum drying capacity a given plant footprint can support. Because band-to-band product transfer is a common failure point in multi-band systems, generating breakage, uneven layering or product loss, Kerone pays particular attention to transfer geometry and drop height for each product type during the design phase and validates it during trials. With Kerone’s long-standing manufacturing base, the mechanical structure, belt tracking, tensioning and heat pump refrigeration package are engineered and built together as one integrated system, giving customers a single point of accountability for mechanical reliability and drying performance. Kerone also models airflow interaction between adjacent band levels during the design phase, since air leaking or short-circuiting between bands is a common source of humidity control loss in poorly engineered multi-band tunnels, and our sealed inter-band partitioning is designed specifically to prevent this.
