Precision drying for German process industries.

We work across food and ingredients, dairy, potato and starch, grain, brewing, animal feed, pet food and aquafeed, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, enzymes, specialty chemicals, pigments, biomass, pulp and paper, sludge, recycling, fertilizer, minerals, ceramics and advanced materials.

Yes. Through the 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, utilities, hygiene or containment needs and downstream process requirements.

As of September 2026, Germany continues to apply the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC through the Machinery Ordinance (9. ProdSV) for machinery placed on the market up to 19 January 2027. Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 on machinery applies from 20 January 2027, supported in Germany by the Machinery Regulation Implementation Act (MaschinenDG).

Where the complete machine falls within applicable EU product legislation, the manufacturer must complete the relevant conformity-assessment procedure, prepare the required technical documentation and declaration, and affix CE marking where required. Under the current 9. ProdSV machinery framework, CE marking is required for machinery covered by that regulation.

Documentation language should be established for the applicable legal regime and product scope. Under Germany's Machinery Regulation Implementation Act for Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, operating instructions, safety information and EU declarations for machinery are required in German from the regulation's application date. German-language operating and safety documentation should therefore be planned as part of the project.

Electrical equipment within the relevant voltage scope can fall under Directive 2014/35/EU, implemented in Germany through the Electrical Equipment Ordinance (1. ProdSV). Machinery electrical design should also be coordinated with the machine's overall conformity assessment, component scope, supply voltage, protection, grounding and applicable technical standards.

Germany's Electromagnetic Compatibility Act (EMVG) implements Directive 2014/30/EU. PLCs, VFDs, motors, control cabinets, cabling and instrumentation should therefore be designed and integrated so the applicable electromagnetic-compatibility requirements are met.

Equipment and protective systems intended for potentially explosive atmospheres can fall under Directive 2014/34/EU, implemented in Germany through the Explosion Protection Products Ordinance (11. ProdSV). Workplace explosion risks also need to be addressed under the operating-safety and hazardous-substances framework. Dust properties, solvents, zone classification, ignition sources, surface temperatures and required equipment categories should be defined for the specific installation.

Pressure equipment and assemblies within the relevant scope are regulated in Germany through the Pressure Equipment Ordinance (14. ProdSV), which implements Directive 2014/68/EU. Classification and conformity assessment depend on fluid, pressure, volume or nominal size and equipment category. German operating and inspection obligations should also be checked for the installed equipment.

Where a gas appliance or fitting falls within scope, Regulation (EU) 2016/426 can apply. Germany supplements this framework through the Gas Appliances Implementation Act (GasgeräteDG). Burner, gas-train, appliance and site-gas responsibilities should be defined during engineering because not every complete industrial dryer follows one identical gas-appliance conformity route.

Germany's Industrial Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV) governs the safe use of work equipment, including installation, operation, maintenance, cleaning, inspection and modification. The operator's risk assessment, inspection requirements and safe-use responsibilities should therefore be coordinated with the machine supplier's product-conformity documentation.

Yes. Food applications can be engineered around cleanability, hygienic access, suitable product-contact materials and contamination control. EU food-hygiene and food-contact rules apply, including Regulation (EC) 852/2004 and Regulation (EC) 1935/2004. Germany also applies the Food and Feed Code (LFGB), including provisions relevant to food-contact materials.

No. The conformity route is project-specific. A complete dryer may be affected by machinery, electrical, EMC, ATEX, pressure-equipment, gas, food-contact and other requirements depending on configuration and intended use. CE marking is not a separate quality certificate and does not replace the need to determine which legislation applies.

Third-party involvement is required only where the applicable legislation and selected conformity-assessment procedure require it. Many machinery and electrical routes can be manufacturer-led, while certain pressure-equipment categories, ATEX products, gas appliances or higher-risk machinery categories can require notified-body involvement. The exact route must be determined from the final equipment classification.

The manufacturer remains responsible for meeting the applicable product requirements, while an importer established in the EEA has verification and traceability duties under the relevant legislation. Importer details, conformity documentation, instructions and the legal economic-operator roles should therefore be agreed before shipment.

Yes. Component selection, electrical architecture, PLC/HMI controls, motors, VFDs, safety devices, instrumentation, enclosure ratings, drawings, manuals, risk documentation, declarations and applicable conformity evidence can be specified during project engineering according to the final machine configuration and customer requirements.

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