Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Kerone manufactures a comprehensive range of industrial drying systems including spray dryers, rotary drum dryers, flash dryers, fluid bed dryers, tray dryers, conveyor belt dryers, paddle dryers, heat pump dryers, vacuum dryers, and infrared drying systems. Each technology is selected and engineered based on the specific material characteristics, required moisture profile, throughput capacity, and energy efficiency targets of the customer's application.
Kerone's engineering team conducts a thorough process study that includes material characterization, drying curve analysis, psychrometric calculations, and thermal energy assessments. For new or complex materials, we can arrange laboratory-scale drying trials to generate empirical data before committing to a full-scale system design. This structured approach ensures that the recommended drying technology is genuinely matched to the customer's process rather than a generic approximation.
Yes. Kerone has extensive experience engineering drying systems for heat-sensitive materials. Technologies such as heat pump dryers, vacuum dryers, spray dryers, and low-temperature fluid bed dryers are specifically suited to materials where elevated temperatures would compromise colour, flavour, nutritional value, enzyme activity, or drug potency. Our process engineers select the appropriate temperature range, residence time, and airflow configuration to protect product quality throughout the drying cycle.
Absolutely. Kerone regularly supplies drying systems designed to meet GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) requirements for pharmaceutical applications and HACCP-aligned hygienic design principles for food processing. These systems are fabricated from 304 or 316L stainless steel with smooth, crevice-free weld finishes, CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatible surfaces, and fully enclosed product contact zones to prevent contamination and facilitate thorough cleaning.
Energy consumption varies significantly depending on the drying technology, material moisture levels, throughput, and target moisture specification. However, Kerone incorporates several energy efficiency measures across its dryer range, including exhaust air heat recovery exchangers, variable-speed drive fans, insulated drying chambers, and heat pump technology where applicable. Our heat pump dryers, for example, can achieve specific energy consumption as low as 0.3–0.6 kWh per kilogram of water evaporated, representing substantial savings over conventional direct-fired drying systems.
Kerone operates primarily as a custom engineering company rather than a catalogue supplier. While we have standard platform designs that serve as a starting point for many projects, every system is engineered to the customer's specific material, capacity, temperature, footprint, and utility constraints. Customisation extends to material handling configurations, chamber geometry, control system complexity, construction material selection, and integration with existing production infrastructure.
Kerone serves a wide range of industries including food and beverage processing, dairy and protein manufacturing, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production, chemical and specialty chemical processing, biomass and renewable energy, mineral and ore processing, starch and agricultural product drying, waste and environmental management, insect protein processing, and tea and coconut product manufacturing, among others. Our engineering capabilities span virtually every sector where industrial moisture removal is a critical process step.
Lead times depend on system complexity, capacity, and the extent of customisation required. Simple standard-platform systems may be ready for dispatch within 8–12 weeks of order confirmation, while larger, more complex custom systems typically require 16–28 weeks from detailed engineering sign-off to site readiness. Kerone provides a detailed project schedule at the time of order, with regular progress updates and factory acceptance testing (FAT) milestones to keep customers fully informed throughout the manufacturing process.
Yes. Kerone provides comprehensive on-site installation supervision, mechanical and electrical commissioning assistance, and operator training as standard elements of our supply package. Our commissioning engineers work alongside the customer's operational team to verify system performance against agreed process guarantees, fine-tune control parameters, and ensure that operators are fully competent in safe and efficient system operation before Kerone's engineers conclude their on-site engagement.
Kerone offers a comprehensive suite of after-sales services including preventive maintenance contracts, rapid-response breakdown support, spare parts supply from our maintained inventory, process optimization audits, equipment upgrades, and retrofit services for older drying systems. Our service team is available to conduct annual performance reviews and recommend process or mechanical improvements that extend system life and maintain optimal drying efficiency over the long term.
Yes. Kerone's paddle dryers, rotary drum dryers, and belt dryers are specifically engineered for high-moisture, high-viscosity feed materials such as sewage sludge, digestate, and industrial effluent cakes. These systems incorporate robust material handling components, anti-fouling surface treatments, and optimized airflow or indirect heating configurations designed to process difficult, sticky, or abrasive feed materials reliably without clogging or excessive maintenance intervention.
Kerone designs and supplies drying systems for applications involving flammable solvents or combustible materials, incorporating ATEX-compliant electrical components, inert gas purging systems, closed-loop solvent recovery circuits, and explosion relief panels where required by safety regulations. For such applications, our engineering team conducts a detailed hazard assessment and ensures the system design complies with applicable ATEX, NFPA, or IS standards before fabrication commences.
Kerone integrates emission control systems as an integral part of its drying system designs. Depending on the material and regulatory requirements, we supply bag filter dust collectors, wet scrubbers, cyclone separators, and thermal oxidizers as part of the complete system package. This integrated approach eliminates the need for customers to source emission control equipment separately and ensures that the exhaust treatment system is correctly matched to the dryer's airflow volume, dust loading, and temperature profile.
Yes. Integration with existing production infrastructure is a standard part of Kerone's engineering scope. Our systems are supplied with PLC-based control panels that can be configured to interface with customer-supplied SCADA systems, ERP platforms, and upstream or downstream process equipment via standard industrial communication protocols such as Modbus, Profibus, or OPC-UA. We also offer IoT-enabled remote monitoring modules that allow customers and Kerone's service team to access real-time performance data and receive predictive maintenance alerts.
Kerone drying systems are designed for operational lifespans of 15–25 years or more, depending on the application environment and maintenance regimen. Long-term reliability is ensured through the use of high-quality materials, conservative design margins, and robust fabrication standards. Kerone's preventive maintenance programs, timely spare parts supply, and periodic performance audits further protect the customer's capital investment by identifying and addressing wear or process degradation before it results in unplanned downtime or compromised product quality.
