Abstract

Original article can be found at: http://www.sciencedirect.com Copyright Elsevier [Full text of this article is not availble in the UHRA]Rapid surface drying is an important and energy intensive process in food and beverage packaging industry. Usually these products are dried at low dew-point temperatures (DPT) −10 to −20 °C and low dry ball temperatures (DBT) 20–30 °C for product quality optimization. The conveyor moves at very high speeds and it is necessary to expose as much of the drying surface to the drying effect in a shortest time possible. Re-condensation is a big problem in these systems and a good drying system is that preserves the quality of the product and is energy efficient. This paper presents a feasibility study to obtain ...
