For some products, drying is more effective when the product is preheated before beginning the drying cycle. Uzelac Industries’ coagulator is designed and fabricated to achieve this efficiency. The coagulator introduces steam to raw product both heating and congealing it. This hot congealed product is driven upward by an internal agitator and auger until it reaches the coagulator outlet. This new denser state of product allows the dryer to be more effective with lower cycle times per ton. As the name implies, coagulators are particularly effective in commercial blood drying for the rendering industry.
