A tray dryer is a convection dryer in which wet material is spread on trays, and the trays are placed in an insulated chamber with forced hot-air circulation. It is the standard choice for batch drying in chemical, dyestuff, pharmaceutical and food plants, and for small engineering parts.
MV International manufactures tray dryers heated by electric heaters, steam radiators or thermic fluid coils. Trolley-loaded models let one trolley be filled while another is drying, so the dryer keeps working between batches.

How the Tray Dryer Works
Steam or electric heaters warm the air, which is circulated by a fan through the tray stack. Moist air is partly exhausted and replaced by fresh air, keeping the drying rate high. The temperature controller holds the set point while the timer controls the drying period.

Tray Dryer FAQs
What is the difference between a tray dryer and a tray drying oven?
Both dry material on trays with hot air. 'Tray dryer' usually refers to the process-industry version (chemicals, pharma, food), often steam heated and trolley loaded. 'Tray drying oven' is the term commonly used in engineering plants.
Can a tray dryer be steam heated?
Yes. We supply tray dryers with finned steam radiators that connect to your boiler, along with steam traps and valves. This lowers running cost where steam is available.
How do I choose the size of tray dryer?
Tell us the wet weight of product per batch, its bulk density and the bed depth you can use. We calculate the tray area and number of trays required.
What is the price of a Tray Dryer?
The price of a tray dryer depends on chamber size, maximum temperature, heating media (electric, gas, diesel or steam), material of construction and the control system. Share your load details, process temperature and cycle time, and MV International will send a detailed quotation, usually within 24 hours.
Can you supply the Tray Dryer to buyers abroad?
Yes. Along with supplying all over India, we export the tray dryer to the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Ovens are built for your local power supply and shipped with complete documentation and commissioning support.
