Applications for fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetable powder drying
Spray drying is a critical part of producing high-quality vegetable and fruit powders. Consistently delivering dry air to the spray-drying process is essential for reliable and efficient performance year-round, regardless of ambient conditions.
Munters advanced dehumidification systems provide dry air to the spray-drying process, ensuring consistent results with higher product quality and less clumping. After spray drying, the system discharges powder into a fluidized bed for agglomeration and second-stage drying to achieve the desired moisture content of 2-4% by adding dry air from Munters dehumidifiers for fruit and vegetable production.
Reusing dry air to convey the powder helps prevent moisture reabsorption, ensuring the powders remain moisture-free, maintaining their quality and prolonging shelf life.
Invest in Munters advanced dehumidification systems for your vegetable and fruit powder-drying process and experience the difference.
Frozen vegetable packaging
Packaging frozen fruits and vegetables poses unique challenges, especially if moisture is present while packing. Ensuring moisture-free packaging helps prevent equipment frosting, raise product quality and impact your bottom line.
That’s why Munters offers advanced desiccant dehumidification systems to provide dry air to packaging areas and equipment.
