It is usually placed after the pasteurizer to dry the product with hot air, with a customizable percentage of humidity. Constituted of a single treatment belt that feeds the product while the two ventilation systems dry it superficially.
Once the product exits the pasteurizer it is humid on the surface and the Drying Zone allows to dry it and prevent that products stick to one another.
Internal structure of the machine with circular section to avoid product stagnation and ease the washing process.
Two ventilation systems place below and under the belt, made ofbattery with steam smooth tubes and ventilators controlled by inverter.
Extracting system for humid air through a ventilator controlled via PLC.
In order ease the washing process, the machine features a stainless-steel structure and rinsing ramps to reduce machine washing time.
The bottom panel is inclined on the sides to drain washing water. Openable lateral panels hinged for accessibility. Thanks to peripheraleaves washing water can be collected in different points.
Machine performance
- Usable belt width: 750 - 1500 – 2000 mm;
- Drying chamber length: 3-6 m.

The upper ventilation system is composed ofbattery functioning with steam and ventilators controlled by inverter for the heating of the water used during the treatment.
The bottom ventilation system is made of battery functioning with freon/glycolyzed water and ventilators controlled by inverter to monitor humidity in the air.
In order ease the washing process, the machine features a stainless-steel structure and rinsing ramps to reduce machine washing time. The bottom panel is inclined on the sides to drain washing water. Openable lateral panels hinged for accessibility. Thanks to peripheraleaves washing water can be collected in different points.
Differing from the standard version, the HE features a ventilating system equipped with a condensation system to monitor more accurately air humidity. This allows to have a greater control on the quality of the finished product.

A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
