The '''Dry Roasters''' deliver uniform heat and airflow  distribution, producing superior product quality, color and moisture  content. The dual plenum dryer is designed for uniform drying of  peanuts, tree nuts such as almonds, pistachios, macadamia nuts and  walnuts, and sunflower seeds. Allergen cleaning is simplified with a  host of sanitation features including full welds, complete interior  access and the elimination of debris collection points.

The dry roaster follows dry roasting process. Dry Roasting is a process by which heat is applied to dry  foodstuffs without the use of oil or water as a carrier. Unlike other  dry heat methods, dry roasting is used with foods such as nuts and seeds,  which do not contain significant fat or moisture of their own. Dry  roasted foods are stirred as they are roasted to ensure even heating.

Dry roasting can be done in a frying pan or wok (a common way to prepare spices in some cuisines), or in a specialized roaster(as is used for coffee beans or peanuts). Dry roasting changes the chemistry of proteins in the food, changing their flavor, and enhances the scent and taste of some spices. It is  done with adding various herbs, spices and sugars into the frying pan  and roasting until brown.

* Dry Roaster uses controlled airflow to assure  consistent processing across the product bed, preserving product  roasting characteristics.

* Airflow is delivered both above and below the product  layer, enhancing moisture removal and roasting characteristics while  minimizing processing time.

* Separately controlled roaster temperature processing  zones ensure that heat transfer occurs effectively as the product moves  through the conveyor dryer. This results in highly efficient operation  and lower utility costs.

===Design===

The dry roaster is usually is tailored to meet a product's specific thermal  processing characteristics. Customers can specify infeed, discharge and  other operating line parameters to ensure that the unit fits the plant  design and delivers optimum performance.

* Sloped, smooth inner surfaces allow product to flow  through the roaster without collecting or becoming a safety or  sanitation risk.

* Easy access via large doors and removable panels allows cleaning to occur more often and more quickly during routine operations.

* A modular design option allows the dry roaster to be shipped with the conveyor bed installed, reducing installation time and cost onsite.

* The knock-down configuration option means components  can be assembled in the field, allowing for installation in the tightest plant conditions while reducing shipping costs.
