Radiant Zone Drying
Columbia PhytoTechnology provides our patented Radiant Zone Drying™ technology to the food, nutritional and pharmaceutical industries to dry juices, purees, extracts and slurries into pure, high quality powders.
Radiant Zone Drying™ is the only liquid drying technology that compensates for the change from constant rate drying period (high moisture) to falling rate drying period (low moisture) by utilizing consecutive drying zones and by measuring the actual product temperature to determine the drying conditions in each zone. Learn more about how it works.
The unique ability of the Radiant Zone Dryer™ to flash initial moisture without raising product temperature and then automatically adjust conditions to preserve product quality results in powders that retain their initial nutrients, chemical profile, and functionality, without compromising production costs. Radiant Zone Drying truly bridges the gap between high quality freeze drying and low cost spray drying. Read this comparison with other drying technologies for more information.
Other advantages include: the ability to dry sticky and amorphous products with low or no carrier, 95% energy efficiency, low utility costs, low production costs, and the best value for purchase and installation.
