Heat, airflow and energy – developing a design to harmonize these key forces is a blend of science, research, art and experience. Between Aeroglide and its subsidiaries, we have been designing and manufacturing custom thermal processing equipment for almost two centuries. Today, Aeroglide equipment is used for a variety of thermal processes in the industrial, food and feed markets.

“Perfecting Thermal Processing Worldwide” summarizes how we approach our business. Aeroglide is the global leader in moisture removal and thermal processing technology for driers, ovens, roasters, toasters and coolers. We offer industry-specific processing expertise that tailors the equipment design to each customer’s specific needs. With the broadest range of equipment types, Aeroglide’s strength lies in matching the ideal method of product conveyance with the desired thermal process. The result is the most energy efficient and effective thermal processing system available.

Aeroglide is fully committed to providing its customers with the best equipment and the highest level of process support and technical service. Two-thirds of our business is from repeat customers.


Aeroglide Conveyor Driers are available in single and multiple pass configura-tions. Field reversible airflow, zoned temperature controls and humidity controls provide the ultimate uniform drying. If the product can tolerate repositioning, multiple pass drying will provide maximum results within the smallest footprint. Sequentially zoned driers allow for optimum drying while protecting temperature sensitive products.

SYSTEM CONTROLS


AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT


Aeroglide offers a variety of control packages to enhance the performance and efficiency of ovens, driers, coolers, toasters and roasters. These include PLC panels, PC based controls, push-button relay panels and burner supervisory panels. The control system is based upon operational requirements and customer preference.

Aeroglide provides its automation system on a wide variety of hardware and software platforms to allow integration with existing plant-wide operating systems.

Improve product quality, increase yield and minimize energy consumption with advanced control features.

Product QualityThe automation system will control product moisture content and reduce product moisture variability through an Evaporation Control System. The system measures key process variables and models these measurements against standard design conditions. The system then manipulates process conditions to accommodate upstream process deviations. The reduction in variability allows the product moisture to be controlled closer to specifications, leading to superior product quality and increased yield.

Energy SavingsAdvanced control functions will also increase energy efficiency by monitoring and optimizing thermal equipment operating conditions. For example, Humidity Control ensures exhaust levels are optimized based on the current evaporation load. A constant humidity will also provide the most uniform processing conditions and lead to more uniform product moisture levels.

Energy Performance shows operating efficiency of the equipment. energy data is displayed on an operator interface screen. The system sounds a warning alarm when efficiency goes outside of design ranges. Operators may then take corrective action to reach optimal efficiency.

Equipment UtilizationProduct Tracking is the method of tracking the presence of product and its location in the drier. Tracking is used in the automatic activation of evaporation temperature or moisture control, product change-over, and activating energy saving modes.
