Drum Drier Blades that Secure Perfect texture and Great taste!

Every morning many of us enjoy a bowl of cereal with milk for breakfast. Later in the day, potato crisps may come in handy. But despite consuming such snacks daily, only few of us can name the process by which they were made.

The practice of drying starchy root vegetables is widely used around the world, and likely dates to before the beginning of an agriculture. After harvesting, the next step is the dehydration or drying process. To get the right texture of the food, the starch powder needs to be perfectly consistent. Different techniques have been used for this purpose, but drum drying is now preferred because of its simplicity and convenience.

Drum drying is a method used for drying out liquids from pureed raw ingredients using rotating drums. Solids are then scraped off by a scraper blade. These scraper blades are sometimes called either Drum Dryer Doctor Knife or Roll Drying or Rotary Dryer Scraper Blade or Knife. However, their main function is still the same. The drum dryer is very flexible in nature. Its operation depends on the pressure of steam within the drum, the speed of drum rotation, the width of the applicator and the ratio of drum speed rotations. Drum dryers find application largely in the food industry: cereals, baby food, milk powder, tomato puree, starch and many more.
