Leading vacuum belt dryer manufacturer for malted barley extract and sweeteners drying

Malt Products drying proecess can be well suited and incorporating a vacuum belt dryer designed and built by drying technology expert Shanghai Minjie, who is the leading manufacturer of Vacuum Belt Dryer& SDR-Evaporator for more than 20 years in China, and provide low temperature drying, evaporator and sterilization equipment.

The 57-foot- long vacuum belt dryer(VBD) are currently operating at the T.B Fruit manufacturing facility in Lviv region, Ukraine, and Shanghai ABFood & Beverages Ltd for Ovaltine.

Important to the drying of malted barley extract, vacuum belt drying utilises a gentler process that protects unique-to-product characteristics not found in other sweeteners, including antioxidants, essential amino acids, minerals and vitamins. Vacuum belt drying also helps avoid burnt notes or other off-flavors and aromas typical with spray drying, and better controls the maillard reaction for a more consistent final product colour. The lower pressures used by vacuum belt dryers reduce the temperature at which moisture is evaporated – this eliminates oxidation and prevents damage to critical functionalities of the original syrup.

Vacuum belt drying produces a powder that is highly soluble in cold liquids, making it preferable for malt beverages and camel milk drink. The enhanced technology will allow customers to manufacture products such as honey, agave and molasses that are difficult or impossible to dry on a spray dryer without additives.

The initiative also has an eye toward Eco consciousness: vacuum belt dryers use less energy and water than spray dryers, reducing environmental impact and aligning with Minjie’s broader commitment to sustainability.

The newest dryer is the culmination of a twenty-year effort by Shanghai Minjie, which began with the expansion of its 2^nd phrase factory and addition of expanded laboratory, research and development and customer service capabilities. These investments are in response to increasing demand for industrial, chemical, food, pharmaceutical and biologic client who is in need of vacuum belt dryer and evaporator.

Shanghai Minjie Machinery Company supplies a broad spectrum of dryer and evaporator including vacuum belt dryers for Liquid & Paste, vacuum belt dryers for Powder & Particle, energy-efficient evaporator, vacuum low-temperature evaporator and powder sterilizer.

“The new drying technology solution will continue our commitment to supply VBD and evaporator which are minimally processed and environmentally sustainable” said Weijun TAN, president of Shanghai Minjie.
