Why Choose a Numafa Drying System?

A wet product carrier returned to the production line is a liability: bacterial growth, slip hazards and product quality loss are real risks. Drying is not an afterthought, it is an integral part of the washing process. Numafa develops industrial dryer machines that connect directly to the washing process, operating independently or as part of a fully automated line. We offer:

  • Technical advice and comprehensive service in configuring, manufacturing and delivering the right drying solution.
  • Robust machines equipped with durable, long-life parts.
  • User-friendly solutions that are easy to operate.
  • An expert service department and a well-organised spare parts department.
  • Sustainable and modular solutions that are energy saving and easily shipped worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drying Systems

Do you have questions about our drying systems? Here you’ll find the answers to the most frequently asked questions. Do you have any other questions or would you like more information? Feel free to contact us, we’ll be happy to help.

What is the difference between an air blow section, a centrifuge and a drying tunnel?

An air blow section removes surface moisture immediately after washing using high-velocity air, fast and effective as a first drying step.

A centrifuge dries crates using centrifugal force and is extremely energy efficient, with a capacity of up to 6,000 crates per hour.

A drying tunnel uses heated air to achieve up to 100% dryness and is the most thorough drying option available.

An air blow section and drying tunnel can be combined for maximum results. The right choice depends on the type of product carrier, the required dryness level and your production speed.

Can drying options be integrated with a Numafa washing machine?

Yes. Numafa’s drying systems are designed to connect directly to our washing machines, including the layer pad washer, crate washer and container washer. Washing and drying become a single, continuous automated process. This reduces floor space, eliminates manual transfer between washing and drying, and means one point of contact for installation, service and maintenance of the complete system.

Which product carriers are the drying options suitable for?

Numafa’s drying systems are suitable for crates, chocolate moulds, baking trays, cheese moulds, ham moulds, connected loaf pans and other reusable product carriers. Layer pads cleaned by our layer pad washer can also be dried immediately after the washing cycle. Our technical advisors will assess which drying option best matches the shape, material and throughput speed of your product carriers.

How energy efficient are Numafa's drying options?

Our centrifuge is the most energy-efficient option in our range, extremely economical compared to air-based drying methods. All drying options are modularly built and can be configured to meet the energy requirements of your production environment. Contact us for a comparison of energy consumption profiles per system.

What does a Numafa drying solution cost?

The price depends on the type of drying option, capacity, configuration and whether the system is integrated with a washing machine. Numafa supplies both standalone drying options and complete washing and drying lines.
