Dry less water. Create more process value.

We work across food and beverage, agave and distilling, corn and cereals, fruit and vegetable, coffee and cocoa, sugar, animal feed, pet food, aquafeed, seafood, brewing and ethanol, biomass, pulp and paper, chemicals, fertilizer, pharmaceuticals, mining, minerals and ceramics.

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.

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, compliance scope and operating cost.

Yes. Depending on the project, the engineering package can be developed around applicable requirements including NOM-001-SEDE-2012 for electrical installations, NOM-004-STPS-1999 for machinery safeguards, NOM-002-STPS-2010 for fire safety, NOM-020-STPS-2011 for applicable pressure equipment, NOM-002-SECRE-2010 for natural-gas installations, NOM-029-STPS-2011 for electrical-maintenance safety, NOM-251-SSA1-2009 for food hygiene, and NOM-003-SCFI-2014 where covered electrical products fall within its scope.

No. A complete industrial dryer should only be described as certified to a specific Mexican requirement when that specific equipment and scope have completed the required conformity assessment. Depending on the project, the route may involve certified components, verification of an installation, product certification or another applicable conformity-assessment process.

NOM-001-SEDE-2012 addresses electrical installations (utilization). The dryer package should therefore be coordinated with the customer’s plant electrical design, supply conditions, protection, grounding, wiring and applicable verification requirements.

NOM-004-STPS-1999 addresses protection systems and safety devices for machinery and equipment used in workplaces. Guarding and access-safety measures should be considered as part of the complete installed machine

NOM-002-SECRE-2010 applies to natural-gas utilization installations. If the dryer uses natural gas, the burner, gas train and installation interfaces should be reviewed against the project-specific requirements and approval route.

NOM-020-STPS-2011 addresses safety conditions for pressure vessels, cryogenic vessels and steam generators or boilers in workplaces. Applicability depends on the pressure equipment included in the scope.

Yes. For food, beverage and food-supplement applications, the dryer can be designed around cleanability, suitable materials, sanitation access and contamination-control needs consistent with the plant’s hygienic system and NOM-251-SSA1-2009.

Project support can include engineering coordination, installation supervision, commissioning and operating guidance. Where specified, GEM can also coordinate technical documentation needed for the customer’s local conformity-assessment or inspection process.

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, Mexican plant location/state, electrical supply and the intended use of the dried product.
