6 Ways RENU™ Outperforms Current Drying Methods
Are you frustrated with the performance of your food-drying equipment? Do you wish there was something faster, more energy efficient, or less labor intensive? Now there is.
Check out what people call the industry's most advanced food drying technology: RENU™ Drying & Milling System by GTF Technologies. It might be just what you’ve been missing. Here are six ways in which RENU outperforms other options in the food-drying world:
1. Combined Operations
The most obvious way the RENU Drying & Milling System improves on traditional equipment is implied in its name: it dries and mills in a single quick operation. In fact, RENU does not require liquification prior to drying, or sifting after micronizing, like other methods do, so the process is simplified with RENU even further.
2. Speed
Drying food can be a time-consuming process. Freeze drying in particular involves several steps which take hours if not days. RENU removes moisture and micronizes food in one almost instantaneous step at up to 25 pounds per minute per system, with the ability to increase output by adding systems.
3. Footprint
Most drying equipment consumes an immense amount of real estate... and even more space is needed for milling equipment. But a single RENU System occupies less than 1,000 square feet, enabling it to be integrated within your facility without a lot of reconfigurations. And because it dries and mills in a single operation, it requires fewer machines, saving even more space (not to mention time – see #1 and #2 above).
4. Energy Use
Long drying times (for freeze drying) and high-temperature processing (for spray and drum drying) demand immense amounts of energy. Some drying equipment is also powered by natural gas, which is being heavily regulated in certain parts of the country/world. The RENU System, on the other hand, is 100% electric. This, coupled with its high processing speed, translates to lower overall energy usage, which in turn satisfies government mandates on fossil fuel usage, saves money, and helps you meet your ESG goals.
5. Cost
Processing time, square footage, labor, energy, and transportation... might be hidden costs in your cost-per-pound calculations. When you take all these factors into account, RENU’s cost per pound is substantially less. Contact us for a cost analysis to determine exactly how much you could save.
6. Nutrient Stability
Spray drying and drum drying use high temperatures, which may cause nutrient degradation. Our patented combination of moderate operating temperatures and high processing speed with the RENU System, however, retains maximum nutrient values as well as sensory qualities.
