The Counterflow Dryers have the following advantages: | The Counterflow Dryers have the following advantages: | ||
=== | ===Energy Efficiency=== | ||
The Counterflow Dryers stand out because of their superior energy efficiency when compared to any alternative dryer. Compared to the best horizontal dryers, it can guarantee an energy consumption that is typically at least 15% lower. When replacing older horizontal dryers, savings on energy can be up to 50%. | The Counterflow Dryers stand out because of their superior energy efficiency when compared to any alternative dryer.

=== | ===Mechanical Reliability=== | ||
The use of gravity flow allows to engineer [[Dryers]] and coolers with a minimum of moving parts and without any wear parts. Moreover, lack of maintenance that is required for a counterflow cooler. The Counterflow Dryers are no different. | The use of gravity flow allows to engineer [[Dryers]] and coolers with a minimum of moving parts and without any wear parts.

=== | ===Moisture Uniformity=== | ||
Moisture uniformity and control play an important role in the profitability of the any dryer operator. The Counterflow Dryers can achieve the same moisture uniformity as the best horizontal dryers. Improvements over older dryers lead to high savings in product and energy costs. | Moisture uniformity and control play an important role in the profitability of the any dryer operator.

=== | ===Sanitation Standards=== | ||
The use of gravity for product transport ensures an uninterrupted product flow, leading to a large reduction in cleaning frequency and cleaning costs, whilst maintaining the highest possible standards of sanitation. | The use of gravity for product transport ensures an uninterrupted product flow, leading to a large reduction in cleaning frequency and cleaning costs, whilst maintaining the highest possible standards of sanitation. | ||
