Industrial Drying Systems for Canadian Processing Plants Engineered around your material and moisture target.

We work across seafood and fish processing, food and beverage, grains and cereals, pulse and plant protein, potato processing, fruit and berry processing, animal feed, pet food, aquafeed, brewing and distilling, forestry and wood products, pulp and fibre, chemicals, fertilizer and potash, pharmaceuticals, mining, minerals and advanced materials. Final dryer selection depends on the material, moisture, throughput and product target.

Yes. Through our Dried & Tested pilot program, representative material can be evaluated to establish drying behaviour, operating conditions and a practical design basis before final equipment selection.

Yes. Dryer configuration is developed around feed moisture, target final moisture, throughput, thermal sensitivity, particle characteristics, available utilities, site conditions and downstream process requirements.

Depending on the application, systems can be engineered around steam, thermal oil, electricity, hot air or flue gas, waste heat, heat pumps and other suitable heat sources. The preferred option is evaluated against product sensitivity, utility availability, approval requirements and operating cost.

Yes. Depending on the equipment and installation, the engineering package can be developed around applicable Canadian requirements such as CSA C22.1 (Canadian Electrical Code), CSA C22.2 No. 301 for industrial electrical machinery, CSA C22.2 No. 286 for industrial control panels, SPE-1000 field evaluation where appropriate, CSA B51 / CRN requirements for regulated pressure equipment, CSA B149 requirements for applicable gas-fired systems, and CFIA / SFCR hygienic-design requirements for food applications. The final approval path is confirmed with the customer, province/territory and AHJ.

No. A complete dryer should only be described as CSA certified when the specific equipment has been certified and marked by the applicable accredited certification body. For Canadian projects, the route may instead use Canadian-certified components, a certified control panel, complete machine certification, or a site-specific SPE-1000 field evaluation. The required route is defined during project engineering.

Yes. The electrical package can be configured for the confirmed Canadian plant supply and 60 Hz operation. Common industrial voltages vary by facility, so motors, VFDs, PLC/HMI panels, protection devices, disconnects and control voltage are selected against the customer's electrical specification rather than assumed.

Yes. Where specified, the bill of materials can prioritize components carrying Canadian-recognized certification marks or listings suitable for the intended use. The complete machine or panel still follows the project-specific certification or field-evaluation route; component approval alone does not automatically approve the finished dryer.

SPE-1000 can be relevant for custom or limited-quantity electrical equipment when conventional model certification is not practical. A recognized field-evaluation body assesses the equipment and, when compliant, applies the appropriate label. The local AHJ determines acceptance for the installation.

Applicable Canadian pressure-equipment requirements are reviewed during engineering. Depending on the component and province or territory, this can include CSA B51, applicable ASME construction codes and Canadian Registration Number (CRN) registration.

For natural-gas or propane systems, the project may need to address CSA B149 installation and field-approval requirements, together with provincial or territorial fuel-safety rules and the local AHJ. The exact burner and gas-train approval scope is confirmed before finalizing the package.

Yes. For food applications, the equipment can be designed around cleanability, suitable food-contact materials, drainage, access for sanitation and inspection, contamination prevention and process monitoring consistent with CFIA / Safe Food for Canadians Regulations expectations. Plant-specific HACCP or preventive-control requirements are also considered.

Project support can include engineering coordination, installation supervision, commissioning and operating guidance. Where specified, GEM can also coordinate technical documentation needed by the customer's local certification, inspection or field-evaluation provider.

Please share the material name and composition, feed rate, inlet moisture, required final moisture, operating hours, particle or product characteristics, temperature limits, available heating source, Canadian plant location, electrical supply and the intended use of the dried product.
