Celsius egg shell dryer

The Egg Shell Dryer from Celsius is part of a continuous industrial process during which the shells of recently broken eggs are heated and dried. The machine is based on a screw heat exchanger that is heated by thermal oil. The system also uses a pulverizer, a heating unit and an exhaust system to remove moisture. The end product is sterilized by the heat, less than 1% moisture and valuable as a source of lime. Three models are offered, with a maximum capacity of 500, 1000 or 1500kg eggshells/hour. Each has been designed for low energy consumption and to take up minimum space.
