FINE DELICATE DRYING IN LARGE QUANTITIES In order to enable processing of large quantities of vegetables while ensuring a longer product shelf life, it is now essential to use innovative processing systems that can guarantee optimal results at each phase, from cleaning to cutting, and from washing to accurate drying. The drying phase in particular is crucial in that it must ensure the product maintains the right humidity level, without spoiling it. With this in mind, Nilma developed IDROMATIC, a continuous cycle dryer that is especially meant to dry large amounts of product (up to max. 400 kg/h) in a fully automated way and without spoiling any leaves, not even the most delicate ones. Each working cycle lasts just a few minutes and is carried out through sequential phases (weighing, loading, drying and unloading) with no manual operation needed. Machine cleaning at end of processing is also automatic. Just by setting the machine computer system, production data are given in real time and drum rotation speed is automatically adjusted. IDROMATIC is a compact, reliable machine, made entirely in 18/10 stainless steel, designed to sustain the heavy-duty, continuous operation required in the Fresh Cut produce ("4th range") industry. IDROMATIC is therefore considerably labour-saving, ensures high productivity, enables continuous-cycle processing and allows for most perfect drying while preserving product appearance, according to the highest Nilma technology standards.
