A tunnel dryer (dehydrator) is one of the most widely used types of Industrial dryers, the price of which varies according to the dimensions and production capacity. The dehydrator machine is the same dryer machine, since both words are commonly used, we used both in this article. In the following text, we will give a brief explanation of the specifications and application of the tunnel dehydrator.
Tunnel dryer in food industry
The application of an industrial tunnel dryer in the food industry is to dry different types of products such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, powdered materials, etc., which can provide a uniform product in a short time.
Below you can see the pictures of the products dried by the tunnel dehydrator.
You can leave any questions you have about the use of these machines in the comments section below.
Structure of industrial tunnel dryer
In this section, we explain the structure of the industrial tunnel dryer. These models of industrial dryers (dehydrators), as their name implies, are in the form of tunnels and can vary in dimensions (length and width), number of layers, amount of input capacity, body material, etc.
The energy used to run this type of dryer can be electricity or gas or diesel, depending on your order.
The body of the tunnel dehydrator can be made of steel, iron, or anything else according to the customer's order, and the thermal insulation can be XPS, rock wool, etc., which varies according to the required temperature.
In the pictures below, you can see the tunnel dryers.
Differences in tunnel and cabinet dehydrator
In addition to the differences in appearance, tunnel and cabinet dryers (dehydrators) are also somewhat different in how they work.
Tunnel dehydrators, unlike cabin dehydrators that are loaded manually, are equipped with a conveyor that directs the product into the machine and after the drying process, it is transferred out.
Another difference between these two models is in the amount of input capacity and drying time, in this regard, the tunnels have a higher capacity and provide the dried product in a shorter time.
Of course, tunnel dryers are usually larger in size than cabin dryers and take up more space.
In case of any questions about the structure or the difference between tunnel and cabin dehydrators, ask us in the comments section, and we will answer your questions.
Here are some pictures of cabin dryers:
How a tunnel dehydrator works
In response to the question of how the tunnel dryer works, I must say that drying the product using the tunnel machine is easier than other models of dryers. The product is steered to the machine by the conveyor that the machine is equipped with. Due to the fact that the drying time of different products is different, depending on the predetermined time, the product stays inside the machine. During this time, the machine starts drying the product. After the drying step, the final product is transported out of the machine through the conveyor.
The operation of this machine is such that it continuously enters the product from one side and exits from the other side, for this reason, it is also called a Continuous Dryer.
Also, because this dryer machine is equipped with a conveyor, it is called a conveyor dryer.
Tunnel dryer manufacturer
Now I want to talk about the Arad Machinery tunnel dryer (continuous).
The power consumption required for tunnel dehydrators made by Arad Machinery Company is 3-phases.
Our machines have a control panel that can adjust the humidity and temperature of the dryer machine and the speed of the conveyor.
Due to the circulation in Arad machinery dryers, the output product is always uniform.
The body of the dryer and its thermal insulation can be different according to the customer's order.

Tunnel dehydrator price
Arad machinery Tunnel dehydrators are usually customized, so the price is not fixed.
The price of a tunnel dryer can vary according to the material of the body and insulation, the number of layers of the machine, energy consumption, dimensions, and other items requested by the customer.
Arad Machinery Company in Iran is one of the most famous manufacturers of industrial tunnel dryers, which has the ability to design and manufacture a variety of machines completely according to your order. Arad Machine Dryers have been exported to many countries, including Canada, Australia, Russia, and the Middle East.
