Geelen Counterflow Dryer and Cooler Training

Participants to Dryer and Cooler Training 2009

In early April Geelen Counterflow organized the second Geelen Counterflow Dryer and Cooler Training in Haelen, the Netherlands. 20 participants from the petfood and aquafeed industries traveled from around the world to attend lectures, seminars and workshops on subjects such as mass and energy balance, moisture uniformity, energy efficiency and food safety.

The first day was a case of “back to school” for most, doing physics and arithmetic to understand what is behind the design and control of a cooler or dryer.

The second day included workshops on burners, product distribution, steam heaters, moisture measurement, control systems etc.

And the third day Food Safety was on the agenda. Participants were very enthusiastics, scoring the training with an average of nine out of 10.

Next year’s Dryer and Cooler Training will be held in Roermond, The Netherlands in October 2010.
