Automated Drying Tunnels
Automated air knife or blower removes water from food packaging after shrinking and chilling.
- Easier to Handle
Drying helps make proteins packaged in shrink packaging easier and more efficient to handle and label.
- Eliminates Shipping Damage
Removal of excess water on package surface ensures corrugated shipping cartons stay clean and dry and maintain structural integrity.
Overview
Designed for vacuum packaging applications in the fresh red meat, poultry, dairy and processed meat markets, our automated drying tunnels remove surface water from packs after shrinking and chilling.
Drying food packaging after chilling helps make products easier to handle and label before shipping. The removal of excess water reduces the risk of contamination and damage to corrugated cartons during shipping. Our drying equipment provides this critical step in USDA-inspected plants as well as operations that focus on export markets.
Our 8198 Blow-off Conveyor is a straightforward, drop-in solution that can be customized to fit various floor configurations. Our state-of-the-art TD200 with a dynamic speed drive and articulating air knife is part of a comprehensive 3-piece modular system, which includes the TS200 for shrinking and the TC200 for chilling. Together, they create an automated vacuum packaging finishing solution that sets the industry standard for efficient protein packaging solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Water remaining on the outside of a package after shrinking and chilling can make products harder to handle when loading and can make it more difficult for labels to adhere. In addition, water on the outside of packages can seep into corrugated substrates potentially weakening their structure and making them more vulnerable to damage during shipping.
