Are you looking for the right equipment to serve your drying purposes? With various technologies available for drying, choosing the right one can be exhausting. Depending on the product you will dehydrate, you can choose from the conventional to the advanced method. The method significantly affects product quality and process efficiency. Refractance window food drying systems are also one of the leading technologies among all other methods. Let's take a dig into the subject below.

Popular Industrial Drying Technologies

1. Hot Air Drying

This is one of the most common and simplest drying methods today. The main reason for its popularity is its sturdy industrial and inexpensive solution. But please remember that even though this process can completely dehydrate the item surface, it can leave the products with some cracks or heterogeneous results. 

2. Sun Drying

This is perhaps the most inexpensive method of drying, but you must know that this method is time-consuming and also requires a lot of space. This method is most commonly used for drying fruits and vegetables, such as apricots and tomatoes, but it cannot retain the product properties and nutrients. 

3. Contact Drying

This method dries a product by putting it in contact with heated walls. The drying mostly occurs in rotating drums to ensure better homogeneity. This drying method is ideal for heavy industry drying processes.

4. Infrared Drying

This technology evaporates water or solvent at high temperatures. It can also be combined with hot air. As of today, this method is suitable for items that mustn't be exposed to high temperatures.

5. Refractance Window Drying

Refractance Window Dryer is an advanced fourth-generation drying technology based machine. This method has gained popularity for its unique properties and capability to dry products within a couple of minutes while still retaining its most nutrients, aroma and color. It is most commonly used to dry heat-sensitive products such as purees and juices and purees. This technology uses a thin, transparent infrared film to dehydrate products which ultimately forms a window for drying, 

6. Freeze Drying

This method is ideal for drying temperature-sensitive food items. This is because it retains maximum organoleptic properties. Please note that freeze drying is a time-consuming and expensive drying technology.
