At EFC we design and manufacture stoving, ripening and drying units, bringing our clients the over 50 years of experience and the inclusion of constant innovation.

Conscious of the trust placed in us by our clients so that their products acquire a unique and homogeneous curing, we treat each client personally, face to face to find a drying solution which is most appropriate for their method of production.

The EFC drying units, models USJ and USC, are compact equipment, available in autonomous or centralized systems.

Designed for use in continuously processing cycles or in specific stages of the process, they are delivered both tested and run, and with the ducts manufacturing and assembly drawings.

HIGH INDUCTION

The distribution of air within the drying units done by High Induction:

This system achieves a uniform flow of air through all of the products, passing vertically from bottom to top, changing the flow in each station using motorized sluices.

This air distribution system is what gives the best results in terms of product homogeneity, independently of where the product is stored. This system is generally used in the curing of ham and sausage.

FLOW INVERSION SYSTEM

As has been previously mentioned, the air distribution by “high induction” system results in excellent homogeneity of ham and cured meats. As the flow of the air runs from bottom to top, in rooms with high ceilings, humidity gets built up as the air flow through the product, arriving at the suctions nozzles heavily saturated with humidity.

To achieve the air homogeneity in these cases, EFC has developed an air flow inversion mechanism to obtain a high drying uniformity. Consult us

TWIN INJECTION SYSTEM

For drying units with high ceilings, EFC proposes its twin horizontal and single vertical injection systems, able to maintain a proper homogeneity of the air in rooms measuring up to 8 meters in height.


This design is based on the distribution of air using stepped injection, in a way which makes the air re-feed into the suction area.

With twin injection, one obtains

	To reduce cost of installation by increasing the capacity of each room.
	Vertical growth and better use of the space.
	Increase of the drying yield. By renewing the air at various points, we are able to keep the air from getting saturated as it rises.

To do this, the system requires great precision in calculation and execution so that the air is renewed as it rises in the room.

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE OUTSIDE AIR

The system functions completely automatically through the Secmatic -970 control panel, and it is based upon the enthalpic comparison between the exterior air and the interior air within each room.

The quality of the drying process is at least the same as is done with the machine, and as oxygenated outside air is introduced, it thus simulates the natural drying unit.
