Working principle
After the washing process, the product is automatically transferred onto the infeed conveyor of the K1040H system. The centrifugal drum removes surface water using high centrifugal force, and the dried product is then automatically discharged into containers or conveyed to the next stage – weighing and packaging.
The system allows adjustment of drying speed and time in four levels, ensuring optimal drying results for different product types.
