The Delta T moisture/dryer control system (more info) consistently reduces the moisture variation of onions, garlic, cranberries, etc., exiting belt dryers by at least 30%, and sometimes more. The Delta T is based on a unique “inside-the-dryer” moisture sensor consisting of two temperature sensor and a mathematical model. This reduction in variation enables the mean moisture content, where applicable, to be increased thus increasing production, reducing unit energy consumption and improving product quality. An on-line water activity control option is available that allows products to be safely produced at the maximum allowable moisture content consistent with a water activity value that will not allow the growth of mold or other harmful microorganisms.
