Feed mills dry extruded fish, shrimp, poultry and pet feed, while breweries and distilleries must deal with spent grain, DDGS, yeast and stillage. Fruit pomace, oilseed meals, fodder and insect meal round out the list. Correct moisture protects feed from mould and preserves pellet durability, and drying by-products converts a disposal cost into a feed ingredient. GEM supplies band, conveyor, tube bundle and paddle dryers with matching coolers.
For animal feed, breweries & distilleries, GEM dries 43 materials across 6 application areas. The dryers specified most often are the Band Dryer (Beltotherm), Rotary Tube Bundle Dryer and Paddle Dryer, chosen per material after a pilot trial.
Below are the feeds, fodders and brewery and distillery by-products we dry, with the dryer types suited to each.
Each material page names the recommended dryer and the alternatives. The machines below are the ones specified most often across the 43 materials for this industry.
Drying spent grain, DDGS, yeast and pomace to a stable moisture lets plants sell them as feed ingredients instead of paying to remove wet material.
Multi-zone band and multi-pass conveyor dryers give even moisture across extruded pellets, with coolers that bring product to a safe storage temperature before bagging.
Tube bundle and paddle dryers handle sticky DDGS, wet cake and syrup blends indirectly, keeping exhaust volumes low and making use of steam already available in the plant.
We trial your material in our pilot facility before any equipment decision, then size the dryer from real data.
Describe it in the form, or message an engineer directly.
