Since its early years ANDRITZ Gouda has been specialized in food processing lines, based on advanced drum drying technology. Nowadays it is used for a large range of products, from baby food to chemicals. This continuous indirect drying method allows short heat retention times while evaporating all the liquid within a single rotation of the drum. It not only virtually eliminates the risk of damaging the product but also enables the product to keep its unique properties like taste, smell, texture, etc.
