Vermicelli and noodles drying deals with long, very thin strands that lose water quickly at the surface and become brittle if handled wrongly. Wheat vermicelli, rice sticks and non-fried instant noodle blocks all need a gentle start and a firm finish. Producers dry noodles to remove the frying step, extend shelf life and supply roasted or plain vermicelli in bulk.
To dry vermicelli & noodles, GEM recommends the Multi-Pass Conveyor Dryer. Typical moisture is 28–35% in the feed and 10–12% after drying. Band Dryer and Industrial Roaster are used when the feed or site calls for it. Every project starts with a pilot trial on your own sample.
A multi-pass conveyor dryer carries nests, blocks or cut strands through separate humidity-controlled passes so moisture leaves evenly. A single band suits steamed rice noodle sheets; a roaster is added where vermicelli is sold pre-roasted.

Air-dried noodles avoid frying oil cost and support lower-fat product claims. Controlled drying reduces breakage, which directly improves saleable yield, while stable moisture gives months of shelf life for distribution through retail and export channels.
Plants searching for a vermicelli dryer or comparing a noodle drying machine usually need three answers: which dryer fits, what it costs to run, and how fast it pays back. For Vermicelli & Noodles, we start from your throughput, current moisture (typically 28–35%) and the target (10–12%), trial a sample on the Multi-Pass Conveyor Dryer, and return a sized recommendation with a budget quotation for your food operation.
We trial your material in our pilot facility before any equipment decision, then size the dryer from real data.
