Industrial drying for Italian process industries.

We support applications across food, pasta and grain, dairy, tomato, fruit and vegetables, wine, olive oil, coffee and cocoa, feed, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, fine chemicals, textiles and tanneries, pulp and paper, wood and biomass, sludge, recycling, fertilizer, minerals, ceramics, glass and advanced materials.

Yes. Through the Dried & Tested program we can evaluate representative material to establish drying behaviour, operating conditions, final moisture and a scale-up basis before final equipment selection.

Yes. The configuration can be developed around inlet moisture, final moisture, throughput, thermal sensitivity, material form, available utilities, hygiene, containment, exhaust air and downstream process objective.

In 2026, Italy’s national machinery framework is Legislative Decree 27 January 2010, No. 17, implementing Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 will generally apply from 20 January 2027; projects near the transition should confirm the actual placing-on-the-market or commissioning date.

Where the complete assembly falls within machinery legislation, essential safety requirements, risk assessment, technical documentation, the applicable conformity-assessment procedure, declaration of conformity and CE marking must be addressed. The exact route depends on the final configuration and other applicable directives or regulations.

For machinery intended for users in Italy, Italian-language operating and safety instructions should be planned together with the documentation required by the applicable legislation.

Legislative Decree 19 May 2016, No. 86 implements Directive 2014/35/EU for electrical equipment within defined voltage limits. Panels, components and equipment should be selected and integrated consistently with conformity of the complete machine and the site installation.

Legislative Decree 18 May 2016, No. 80 implements Directive 2014/30/EU on electromagnetic compatibility. PLCs, VFDs, motors, control panels, cabling and instrumentation should be designed and integrated to meet applicable EMC requirements.

For equipment and protective systems intended for potentially explosive atmospheres, Legislative Decree 19 May 2016, No. 85 implements ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. At the workplace, Title XI of Legislative Decree 81/2008 addresses protection from explosive atmospheres. Design should therefore consider material characteristics, zone classification, ignition sources, equipment categories and protection measures.

PED Directive 2014/68/EU is implemented in Italy by Legislative Decree 15 February 2016, No. 26. Category and conformity route depend on pressure, volume or nominal diameter, fluid group and the type of equipment or assembly. For commissioning, use and periodic verification, Ministerial Decree 329/2004 and Legislative Decree 81/2008 can also be relevant.

Legislative Decree 81/2008 governs occupational health and safety and includes duties related to selection, use, maintenance and inspection of work equipment. Manufacturer product-conformity duties and employer safe-use duties should be considered separately but in coordination.

Regulation (EU) 2016/426 on gas appliances excludes appliances specifically designed for industrial processes carried out on industrial premises. For a process dryer, the applicable scope for the burner, gas train, combustion system and site gas installation should therefore be checked project by project together with other applicable safety rules.

Yes. Product-contact parts can be specified around the EU framework applicable in Italy, including Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Regulation (EC) No 2023/2006 on good manufacturing practice. Materials, finishes, seals, cleanability and hygienic access are defined around the application.

Legislative Decree 152/2006 regulates, among other matters, environmental assessment, integrated environmental authorization, air emissions, water and waste. Depending on industry, capacity, heat source and site, exhaust air, dust, VOCs, discharges, noise, energy and waste can affect permit conditions. Final applicability should be checked for the specific plant with the competent authority.

No. The conformity route is project-specific. Machinery, low voltage, EMC, ATEX, PED, workplace safety, food-contact and environmental requirements can all be relevant at the same time. CE marking is a legal conformity marking, not a general quality certification.

A notified body is required only where the applicable legislation and conformity-assessment route require it. This can occur, for example, for certain categories of pressure equipment, ATEX products or specific machinery categories. The need is determined by the final project classification.

Please share material name and composition, feed rate, inlet moisture, required final moisture, operating hours, material form, temperature limit, available heat source, electrical supply, Italian plant location and intended use of the dried product.
