Tek-Dry Systems, a global leader in bespoke thermal processing solutions, delivers advanced drying, toasting, roasting, and cooling technologies for products ranging from French fries and snacks to cereals and pet food.
With decades of experience in thermal processing, Tek-Dry Systems has a global reputation as a specialist supplier of high-quality, bespoke thermal processing equipment. Now part of our expanding portfolio of integrated solutions — Tek-Dry Systems offers drying, toasting, roasting, and cooling solutions for French fries, snacks, cereals, pet food, and more.
Tek-Dry equipment plays a central role in primary thermal processing across a range of applications. For example, single- and multi-pass dryers which are used to remove moisture from products like French fries, coated cereals and pet food.
After thermal processing, integrated cooling systems reduce product temperatures to ensure optimal post-processing and packaging conditions. Tek-Dry systems help ensure consistent moisture, texture and temperature — critical for product quality and shelf life.
Requested by some of the world’s leading French fry processors, Tek-Dry’s high-performance dryers are built around a hallmark single-pass design that delivers consistent drying within a reduced footprint.
Designed with excellent internal access and pre-installed rinse-in-place systems, these units are both easy to clean and low maintenance — ideal for high-throughput production environments.
While many installations use steam as the primary heat source, Tek-Dry dryers can also be supplied to utilize hot water heated using recovered energy from the fryer exhaust — a sustainable option that significantly reduces operating costs.
Tek-Dry’s preform dryers and coolers provide efficient surface water removal and cooling before downstream processing. All systems also feature Tek-Dry’s hallmark single-pass design for reliable performance with easy cleaning and maintenance. They also provide high moisture removal per square meter of dryer, uniform moisture profile and lower operating temperatures.
Tek-Dry Systems offers exhaust energy recovery solutions across most drying, toasting, and roasting applications. These innovations help reduce your carbon footprint while improving overall line efficiency — a smart step toward more sustainable processing.
Beyond potatoes, Tek-Dry offers thermal processing solutions for a variety of food applications. Their snack dryers are designed for products like croutons, expanded snacks, and bread-based items, featuring high evaporation rates, precise moisture control, and their hallmark single-pass conveyor that minimizes agitation and fines.
Their nut dryer/roaster systems gently handle a wide range of nut types, using the same single-pass design to reduce splits and ensure uniform moisture and color. Cereal dryers, toasters, and coolers process rice, corn, extruded, and coated cereal products with efficient single-pass suction drying and integrated dust separation to maintain consistent product quality. Across all equipment, processors benefit from compact footprints, multiple heat source options (gas or electric) and hygienic designs that simplify cleaning and maintenance.
Built for performance, reliability and sustainability, Tek-Dry systems give food processors the tools they need to optimize their thermal processing across a wide range of applications. Ready to enhance your thermal process? Contact our team to explore what’s possible for your line.
