Dryer Feed Conveyor

Cibus Industries’ Dryer Feed Conveyor is designed to provide stable, controlled delivery of raw materials such as coconut flakes, moringa leaves, or spices into drying systems, ensuring consistent loading and optimal drying performance. Utilizing variable-frequency drive (VFD) controlled belts or vibratory trays, the conveyor expertly manages feed rates ranging from 200 kilograms per hour up to 2 tonnes per hour. Its sturdy sanitary frame and gentle handling minimize product damage, helping maintain physical integrity and quality. This precise feed synchronization eliminates dryer surges and starvation, resulting in even moisture reduction and energy-efficient operation.

In thorough validation trials, the Dryer Feed Conveyor demonstrates ±3% feed-rate variance under full load with various product moisture levels and particle sizes. Testing includes assessments of belt tracking stability, vibration damping, and material flow uniformity to verify smooth, interruption-free operation. The conveyor’s sanitary design allows easy cleaning and maintenance, including quick-release belt components and accessible inspection panels, supporting rapid changeover and hygienic compliance.

The system integrates seamlessly with upstream storage or weighing equipment and downstream drying units through adaptable belt-path configurations and height adjustments. Electrical integration encompasses PLC-driven speed control, HMI-based feed recipe management, and SCADA compatibility for centralized process monitoring and fault alarms.

By ensuring continuous, gentle, and accurately metered material delivery to dryers, the Cibus Dryer Feed Conveyor enhances drying consistency, reduces energy consumption, and supports optimized throughput in modern coconut and botanical processing plants.
