Disc Dryer

The Haarslev Disc Dryer provides continuous, indirect drying for defatted fish, animal and poultry by-products. A steam-heated rotor with multiple welded discs provides a very large heating surface in a compact design, ensuring efficient evaporation and gentle drying. Paddles move material evenly through the unit, while scraper bars prevent buildup. Variable-speed discharge and optional vacuum operation help ensure highest product quality.

Value at a glance

Built for
performance

  • 01
    Steam-heated double-wall discs welded onto a rotating shaft provide indirect heating over a very large area, maximising heat transfer efficiency.
  • 02
    Scraper bars prevent material buildup between discs, keeping heat transfer stable and reducing cleaning frequency.
  • 03
    Paddles agitate material and move it through the dryer, ensuring consistent retention time and gentle drying for granular or low-fat products.
  • 04
    Full-length vapour dome reduces carry-over and separates solids from evaporated vapours, protecting downstream equipment.
  • 05
    Variable-speed discharge screw provides flexible control of product flow and final dryness, enabling tuning to process requirements.
Automation and control

Stable moisture control

CORE-DRY predicts drying behaviour and adjusts steam, rotation and load level to maintain consistent product moisture. This reduces process fluctuations, improves energy efficiency and ensures uniform end-product quality even when raw materials vary.
