ZDG Vibrating Fluid Dryer for Food Ingredient Processing: Sea Salt Crystals
ZDG Vibrating Fluid Dryer is evaluated for sea salt crystals in food ingredient processing. The defined feed is washed centrifuged sea salt crystals. Match this duty to the material checks below and the unchanged original equipment parameters.
Sea Salt Crystals: Application and Process Requirements
For sea salt crystals, control residual brine and crystal attrition during bed movement. Begin with washed centrifuged sea salt crystals and confirm how the incoming grade varies before defining the drying cycle.
Feed, Product Quality and Downstream Handling
| Review item | Sea Salt Crystals |
|---|---|
| Defined feed | washed centrifuged sea salt crystals |
| Material-specific focus | control residual brine and crystal attrition during bed movement |
| Product checks | moisture, crystal size, purity and caking tendency |
| Downstream handling | hygienic cooling before food-grade salt packing |
Material Movement and Drying Control
Include moisture, crystal size, purity and caking tendency in the trial record. Fix the sampling locations and analytical methods before comparing trials; feed preparation and cooling can affect the measured result.
Drying Endpoint and Product Acceptance
After acceptance, arrange hygienic cooling before food-grade salt packing. Review discharge, temporary holding and packaging exposure as part of the moisture-control plan.
Application-Specific Equipment Selection
ZDG Vibrating Fluid Dryer selection for sea salt crystals starts with Vibrating Fluid Bed Dryer requirements and the defined feed. Assess vibratory fluidized bed dryer and fluid bed drying together with granule drying; the continuous fluidized bed dryer duty must be demonstrated using representative material and the required finished-product specification.
