2 Bhler Aeroglide, Drying Solutions for Potatoes

French Fry Dryers: Gentle handling, uniform moisture removal and

precise control over the drying process are keys to high quality French
fries. AeroPro advanced dryer controls by Bhler Aeroglide allow
optimum product consistency, texture and bite.
Dehydrators: For long shelf-life, low-moisture potatoes, or for root and
arboreal vegetables, consider multi-stage dehydrators. These
configurations accommodate the most difficult of processes:
gently drying while minimizing case hardening, providing color
uniformity, and maintaining structure for a superior product when
reconstituted.
Impingement Roasters:
High velocity air impingement
systems strip away the insulating
layer of cool air next to the product
surface. This turbulent flow process
greatly accelerates heat transfer.
AeroDry impingement ovens excel
at developing even color when
roasting potatoes and other
vegetable products.
Dehydro-Frozen Dryers: These dryers are designed to effectively
process dehydro-frozen potatoes and vegetables. Steam and gas-fired
systems offer high efficiency drying with minimum energy consumption.
Co-Product Dryers: Efficient drying of pieces from slivers and nubbins
result in quality hash browns and tater tots while saving energy. A
variety of belt cleaning and sanitation options are available.

Clean, Uniform, Efficient. Sanitation features include fully welded

surfaces, clean-in-place (CIP) systems, complete interior access, and
the elimination of debris collection points. A unique airflow system
provides uniform heat and air delivery, resulting in superior product
quality, color and moisture content. Energy savings and heat recovery
systems are additional benefits of Aeroglides high thermal efficiency
and balanced airflow designs.
Installation Flexibility. AeroDry modular construction dryers are
designed for easy installation. Each unit is assembled and tested prior
to shipping, minimizing field adjustments. Delivery is made in large, fully
welded, pre-assembled modules. This allows the fastest possible
installation with reduced field connection points. Field assembly
construction is also available for projects requiring installation in space
constrained areas.
Enhanced Performance. Bhler offers AeroPro Advanced Dryer
Controls to optimize the performance and efficiency of a drying
operation. The systems Evaporation and Moisture Control modules
ensure that product moisture is
controlled closer to specifications,
leading to superior product quality
and increased yield. Increased
energy efficiency is achieved with
Humidity Control and Energy
Monitoring. Together, these controls
monitor and adjust thermal
operating conditions such as
exhaust levels and energy use.
