Twin set-up SC-940/NextGen

The twin set-up is used to dry leafy vegetables. The system consists out of a dewatering conveyor, feeding conveyor, two SC-940/NextGen dryers, two outfeed conveyors, and two buffer conveyors.

The dewatering conveyor removes excess water from the product after it has been washed. The feeding conveyors feed the product alternately between the dryers.

The shuttle conveyor evenly distributes the produce over the slowly rotating drum. After this, the drum accelerates to the set rotation speed. The drum is decelerated at the end of the drying cycle and the slanting position of the drum causes the produce to slide onto the outfeed conveyor.

The outfeed conveyor collects the product from the dryer and transfers it to the buffer conveyor.

When the baggers demand product, this conveyor belt runs forward. When a bagger is down, the buffer conveyor belt runs backwards to accumulate the product.

It is possible to run the twin dryer with only one dryer, so maintenance on the other dryer can be performed.

All the doors and covers can be opened for cleaning and maintenance, and are easily accessible via the platform.

The twin set-up SC-940/NextGen is characterized by an exceptionally open design with optimal accessibility for cleaning and maintenance. Energy savings of approximately 20% are achieved by the combination of more efficient motors and a frequency inverter with an energy recovery system.

Product specification

The twin set-up is suitable for drying all kinds of leafy vegetables.

Capacity

The capacity of the twin centrifuge depends on the product, the entry moisture level, and the desired final moisture level. Capacities up to 10,000 lbs per hour are feasible.

Features

Patented drum suspension

The drum hangs freely in belts and is positioned magnetically: Fewer moving and wearing parts and high cycle efficiency (quick filling and unloading).

Unbalance controller

Any unbalance is detected in a timely manner and corrected by a patented unbalance controller, thus achieving a consistently dry end product.

Optimally hygienic and accessible design

Large doors and covers provide optimum access to the machine for maintenance and cleaning.

Unique patented filling system

Ensures even drum filling with minimum damage to products.

Buffer conveyor setup of the drum

Enables continuous product supply.
