Belt Dryer Enquiries
Belt Dryer Enquiries
A belt dryer is a continuous dryer in which wet product is carried on a moving belt through a heated-air drying chamber. Belt dryers are not a listed standard product in the Mechotech catalogue, and the catalogue holds no belt dryer specifications, drawings or photographs. This page is therefore an enquiry route, not a product listing: Mechotech engineers review your product, moisture target and capacity and tell you whether a listed dryer fits or whether the project needs a different scope. The photograph shows a Mechotech process plant, not a belt dryer.
Mechotech's listed drying equipment covers different feed forms: vacuum tray dryers for static drying of solids, fluidised-bed dryers for granular and particulate solids, vacuum paddle dryers, freeze dryers for very heat-sensitive products and spray dryers for liquid feeds. For fruit and vegetable pieces, Mechotech designs dehydration systems per project around the crop, final moisture and capacity. We do not publish a belt width, number of drying zones, air temperature, evaporation rate or throughput for a belt dryer, because none of these is verified for a Mechotech design. If you are comparing continuous and batch drying, send the product details and our engineers will compare the options against your duty.
Technical Specifications
| Page type | Enquiry route for continuous belt drying; not a listed standard product |
|---|---|
| Catalogue status | No belt dryer datasheet, drawing, photograph or reference installation is held in the Mechotech catalogue |
| Technical parameters | Not published. Belt size, number of drying zones, air temperature, heating medium and capacity are not verified and would be set by engineering review |
| Listed dryers | Vacuum tray dryer, fluidised-bed dryer, vacuum paddle dryer, freeze dryer, spray dryer |
| Product-contact material | SS 316L (or process-appropriate grade) on the listed dryers; not confirmed for a belt dryer |
| Capacity | Configured to requirement; not quoted before engineering review |
| Scope confirmation | Review of product, moisture target and capacity, with a drying trial where needed, before any quotation |
Applications
- Fruit and vegetable dehydration projects for flakes, slices, granules and powders
- Continuous drying duty, compared against the listed dryers
- Drying trials to compare dryer types before a plant is sized
Key Features
Scope Stated Plainly
Belt dryers are not a listed standard product, so we say so up front and make no supply commitment until the engineering review is complete.
Reviewed Against Listed Dryers
Your product is compared with the vacuum tray, fluidised-bed, vacuum paddle, freeze and spray dryers Mechotech lists, and we tell you if one of them fits.
Trial Before You Size
Drying behaviour depends on the product, so we recommend laboratory or pilot validation through the Process Development Centre before a commercial plant is sized.
Dehydration Line Design
Where the project is a full fruit or vegetable dehydration line, the line is designed per project around the crop, final moisture and capacity.
