SiccaDania offers industrial drying systems of high quality widely used for the industrial drying of proteins and fibres. One of our most advanced dryers is the Zeta dryer, which is able to dry a greater range of products than any other dryer.
The Zeta Dryer has the capacity to dry high viscous plant fibres, plant proteins and animal protein products, as well as mixtures of various food matrices. This combined with the fact that this dryer is more compact than our previous dryers provides our customers with the best quality and a cost-effective solution for their production.
At SiccaDania, we accommodate the future of the food industry. Since plant protein extraction is a highly prioritized focus area for the industry, we have been researching within this field and developed a spray drying technology that meets the industrial demands of the future.
Process overview
Upgrade to the Zeta Dryer
The Zeta dryer is a superior choice for some applications and will in some instances be more cost-effective and energy-efficient compared to the equipment the Zeta is replacing.
From Flash dryer to Zeta dryer
The advantage of replacing your conventional Flash dryer with a Zeta dryer is that you will experience a better water binding ability when processing plant fibres. With the Zeta Dryer, the drying process gives you a better quality of the finished product.
From Spray or DISC to Zeta dryer
When drying proteins whether it is animal- or plant-based proteins there are several advantages to changing from the spray or DISC dryer to our Zeta Dryer.
If you compare a Zeta dryer to a conventional spray drying system, you will experience lower energy consumption, lower building costs and good product quality. When replacing a DICS dryer, you will experience that the Zeta is more expensive and uses more energy, but this is offset by the much higher quality of the finished product.
One of the main advantages of this dryer is that all additional features such as powder cooling, bagging-of, and different types of air heating systems can be added to the system.
