Engineering Sciences

It is a combined heating system having both convective and infrared heating facility. The system can be operated under three different modes viz, infrared, convective and combined infrared and convective. In the combined convective and infrared heating mode the heat and mass transfer rates are much higher to convective heating, resulting in reduced processing cost. The system is rugged and economical and can easily replace the existing batch or continuous convective heating system. The system is easy to operate with all the processing parameters controlled through different controllers. The system can be used for various operations such as blanching, drying, roasting and baking of food materials
