E&M Combustion begins manufacturing of new burners for food dryers, destined for pistachio drying lines.

The equipment used for drying pistachios and other nuts consists of air draught burners, designed and built by the company for each specific application, and adaptable to the ductwork where they will be installed.

Both units are designed to generate hot air at different capacities and adjust their power and flow rate to meet demand, thus reducing the plant’s energy consumption in this process and resulting in significant energy savings.

In addition to their use in food drying facilities, air draught burners are applied in numerous industrial processes requiring direct heating, such as coffee roasting, paint booths, the ceramics industry, and drying kilns or tunnels for various sectors, as well as for direct heating of facilities.

New burners for food dryers

Food drying is a key preservation method because it removes moisture from products and inhibits the growth of microorganisms, thus improving their preservation, storage, and shelf life. The use of hot air in this process allows for water evaporation and the preservation of nutrients.

Air draught burners offer several advantages over conventional burners for this type of application, including their high modulation range, flame stability, and the absence of a combustion chamber. Furthermore, they are suitable for operation in dusty or high-temperature environments, and their operation and maintenance are very simple.

Air draught burners are typically supplied in two different formats depending on the process: either with the addition of a primary combustion air fan, as in this installation, or with grates inserted into a duct. E&M Combustion’s work also covers the supply of auxiliary equipment, such as fans, grills and ducts where the secondary heating air goes for both types of equipment, as well as the electronic automation of the drying line.
