Drum drying food

Drum drying is a process often used on farms and in the animal food industry to turn lucerne, also known as alfalfa grass, into nutritious food for animals. At Dutch Dryers BV, most of the employees have a quarter century or more of expertise in building suitable drum dryers for processing animal food. Every dryer that leaves our production facility is the product of our expertise, custom-made to meet the requirements of our customers.

Drum drying grass and processing it into animal food

Alfalfa grass or lucerne is a popular forage crop that serves as food for dairy cattle and other farm animals. However, before it can be used as food, the crop has to undergo processing in a drum dryer to turn the fibres into bales or pellets with low moisture and high protein content. To preserve the nutritious value of the animal food, it is important that drum drying takes place soon after mowing. At Dutch Dryers BV, we design and manufacture systems which make drum drying animal food more efficient. As such, we design custom-made dryers which can achieve excellent drying of the crop’s long fibres with varying moisture content, after which the food can be transported with ease to the next stage of processing for the food industry.
