Air knife drying system for the food and beverage industry

industrial304 stainless steel

Product description
Designed to quickly remove surface water from olives after washing without damaging the product in olive processing lines. Manufactured by Günal Makina, this system conditions olives to the optimal moisture level for oiling or packing.

Technical features and advantages

• Günal Makina standard (1 m belt width): Equipped with a 1 m wide conveyor to prevent piling and ensure uniform air contact across the product surface for maximum drying efficiency.
• Intelligent humidity and thermal control: Integrated humidity sensor continuously monitors cabin conditions; when humidity exceeds setpoint, top covers open automatically to evacuate excess moisture and maintain optimal drying balance.
• Product integrity preservation: Drying is performed by powerful airflow only, avoiding mechanical impact and preserving the olives' natural structure, color and shape.
• 304-grade stainless steel construction: Frame, body and all product-contact parts are made of 304 stainless steel for compliance with food regulations and resistance to high-humidity environments.
• Continuous production flow: Installed directly after the washing unit to provide uninterrupted product flow at standard line speed.
