Overview
Located in Kingaroy, Queensland, our client operates a Duboisia plantation and drying facility. Looking to make the harvest process more efficient, they decided to secure their drying capabilities with the installation of an Alvan Blanch CD22000 dryer.
The Challenge
Operating in a region with high humidity and unpredictable weather, our client faced significant challenges during the Duboisia harvest.
The traditional drying equipment struggled to maintain throughput and more importantly consistent drying which led to lower product quality and general inefficiencies that would impact their harvest process.
The Solution
Upon learning about the advanced drying systems offered by Alvan Blanch, our client contacted Alvan Blanch Australia. Together with local partner BZE Engineering the team helped the client through consultation, design, planning and installation of the new Duboisia drying line, ensuring a smooth integration for optimal performance.
The installation of the Alvan Blanch CD22000 dryer quickly demonstrated its superiority by exceeding performance targets and with increasing tonnes per hour that could be processed compared to traditional equipment.
The Outcome
Our client expressed great satisfaction with the dryer as it has expanded their drying capabilities, allowing them to achieve their production targets more effectively.
The operation team have shared that the Alvan Blanch dryer performs above expectations with productivity, ease of use, it has improved the quality of the dried Duboisia product and also increased their harvest efficiency. They went on to say, “the dryer is so good the way it just keeps performing for us.” The client said he would have no hesitation in recommend the dryer and Alvan Blanch Australia to anyone looking to upgrade their drying systems.
