Improvements in sanitary design come in the form of one-piece slab roofs and floors that are pitched to one side of the machine to eliminate water pooling; a comprehensive water management system that directs water and other cleaning fluids to a drain; a non-tubular open channel frame design that eliminates water and fines entrapment areas; minimized flat horizontal surfaces, crevices and other collection points making cleaning easier and faster; vertical and horizontal support members that have been turned 45° to further decrease cleaning time; access doors that feature a continuous and polished weld on all seams combined with surface mounted hinges and handles, providing an unbroken barrier against water collection and bacteria growth; and a number of other design improvements.

“This is not a package we slap on a dryer and call it ‘enhanced’ or ‘extra sanitary’,” states Steve Blackowiak, Food Safety Manager at Bühler Aeroglide. “These innovations are the result of a mindset that is core to our engineering mentality and permeates the design of all our products. Food safety has been Aeroglide’s #1 concern in system design since our beginning in 1940.”

The company debuted many of these customer-inspired sanitary innovations in a dryer installed in the recently-opened FDA-grade Food Innovation Center at Bühler’s Minneapolis headquarters. The new lab allows Bühler customers to run process trials on a complete extrusion line including raw material handling, extrusion, drying, grinding, and bulk packaging.
More details of this dryer can be seen on the PotatoPro facebook page.
