The scope of the development of such kind of dryers comes from the necessity of drying and eliminating moisture of the surface of delicate products such as baby leaves without causing mechanical damaging that usually appeared when utilizing the traditional drying systems, such as manual or automatic spin dryers. In fact, it is not easy to control the level of humidity of the finished products before packing, but more the product is dry, with less mechanical damages, the best quality is obtained, which can only ensure fresh appearance together with longer product shelf life.
The system can dry also adult salads such as, Iceberg lettuce, Romaine, Endive, Radicchio, and others again.

The benefits of the drying tunnel systems are:
• No product mechanical damaging and excellent quality;
• 1 piece for easy maintenance;
• Maximum control on operation costs, such as water and energy;
• Continuous operation;
• Computerized control of all operation parameters;
• Easy to clean and maintain;
• Ready for the internet, the new ERA;
• Good machine design, to avoid liquids retention during the
cleaning process;
• Possibility to dry different kind of salads, especially baby leaves;
• Electric control panel is integrated in the system;
• Remote monitoring and control (if required);
• Belt head are moveable for good cleaning and inspection;
• Product out coming temperature at full capacity: < 7 0C;
• Water residual after drying < 5%;
