Pet food

As preferred supplier of drying and cooling equipment to the the world’s leading petfood producers , we contribute to improved food safety, product quality, energy efficiency and maintenance costs.

Aqua feed

Moisture uniformity and energy efficiency are crucial factors in the production of aqua feed. Our counterflow dryers not only meet the most rigorous standards but also minimize operating costs.

Food

Our counterflow dryers and coolers are suitable for a wide range of products, including breakfast cereals, snack foods, coffee beans, cocoa, chocolate, bread crumbs, couscous, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and more.

Oilseeds

The drying and cooling of processed soya, rapeseed, and sunflower seed in the shape of expanded collets, meals, pellets, or cake demand continuous 24/7 operation, often with very high capacity. Our equipment is designed to meet these challenging requirements, ensuring that your production runs smoothly and efficiently.

Feed

In 1980, we designed the first of over 10,000 counterflow coolers for pellet mills, which is where our roots lie. Since then, we have expanded our range of coolers to include those suitable for extrudate, expandate, crumbles, mash and flakes.

Our dedicated field service team is always available to assist you. From our headquarters, we can stay connected to your dryer or cooler and provide recommendations for enhancing energy efficiency. We can also remotely connect to the dryer control system to offer training and troubleshoot any issues. In the event that on-site support is required, our service engineers located in Europe, Asia, North America, and Latin America will be dispatched to support you.

Geelen Counterflow has installed its first Electric Counterflow Dryer at the Cargill-Ewos aquafeed plant in Bergneset, just above the polar circle in Norway.
