SS Engineers & Consultants manufactures plug-and-play batch dehydrators for spices, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Tray and trolley configurations with uniform cross-flow deliver consistent moisture removal while protecting color and volatile compounds. Food-grade SS304/316 contact parts, silicone gaskets, and easily cleanable plenums ensure rapid sanitation between products and allergens.

Multizone PID control, staged ramps/soaks, and integrated moisture probes enable repeatable end-points across SKUs—from leafy herbs to dense root slices. Optional pre-blanch modules and dehumidification packages expand product flexibility for export markets and retailer audits.

For high-throughput lines, our multi-pass conveyor dryers offer uniform residence time and precise temperature/humidity profiles. Adjustable bed depth, variable air velocity, and zoned recirculation reduce case-hardening and ensure even drying—even with mixed cut sizes. Hygienic belt designs (mesh/PTFE/SS) and tool-less removal simplify cleaning and changeovers.

Inline metal detection, fines collection, and CIP-ready ducts elevate food safety. Integrated cooling sections stabilize product before milling or packing, while automated start-up/shutdown sequences and alarm logs streamline operations during multi-shift production.

Minimize operating costs with hot-air systems (steam, thermal oil, electric) integrated with solar air heaters or heat-pump dehumidification. SS Engineers & Consultants designs hybrids that automatically prioritize renewable heat, then trim with conventional sources to maintain critical drying curves in all seasons.

Smart dampers, VFD fans, and energy meters provide live energy KPIs. Weather-aware controls stabilize inlet conditions despite ambient swings, improving batch uniformity across climates and geographies—ideal for global contract manufacturers and exporters.

Quality begins with controlled kinetics. Our profiles manage surface/center gradients to avoid case-hardening, preserve chlorophylls and carotenoids, and retain essential oils. Optional steam blanching, enzymatic inactivation, and low-oxygen drying protect sensitive pigments and flavors in herbs, leafy greens, and exotic fruits.

We integrate inline moisture and temperature probes, sample ports, and optional gas analysis for oxygen/CO₂. Traceable batch records document critical control points—supporting HACCP, BRCGS, FSSC 22000, and retailer technical standards in international supply chains.

Energy is a major cost driver. Our dryers feature heat recovery (air-to-air, condensate), variable-speed fans, high-efficiency burners/coils, superior insulation, and intelligent recirculation to reduce kWh/kg evaporated water. Leak-proof, fully gasketed doors and pressure-balanced plenums minimize losses and stabilize airflow.

We provide energy dashboards for line-level benchmarking and carbon accounting. Whether retrofitting a legacy plant or installing greenfield capacity, SS Engineers & Consultants helps you meet corporate sustainability goals without compromising throughput or quality.
