PROCESS
The process begins by mixing the liquid or pasty product in the hegatec feed tank. The feeding pump ensures even distribution on the conveyor belt inside the dryer. There is a vacuum in the housing of the hegatec vacuum belt dryer. The operating vacuum is precisely controlled by the hegatec vacuum system. After the product is fed onto parallel belt conveyors, it passes through various heating zones and a final cooling zone. The hegatec integrated linear granulator grinds the final product. The required dry weight of the final product can be adjusted using adjustable parameters such as feed volume, transport speed, temperature and pressure.
