1.-PISTACHIO WASHING, SELECTION AND DRYING PLANT.
The company Martinez Andres Cabañero SL, contacts us for the construction of turnkey plant for the processing of pistachio, after the study of the area the design is made by our technical department of the most efficient location, adapted to the limitations of existing space, making a system of underground hopper adapting the space to the greatest possible productive optimization, designing a plant with all phases of pistachio processing, with a production capacity of more than 650 kgs dried / hour and with an optimization and energy efficiency of 40% over its competitors.
The Plant Consists Of The Following Phases
- Reception
- Underground Hopper
- Leaf Removal
- Destemming
- Water Peeler
- Semi-Continuous Weigher
- Waiting Silo With Air And Heat
- Tower Of Spans
- Agrotec Patented Sieving Machine
- Three-Phase Dryer
- Pre-Drying To Facilitate The Opening Of The Pistachio Nut
- Low Temperature Drying
“We wanted to hire a company that would make us the whole turnkey process for the drying of pistachio production, after studying several options we opted for Agrotec, for being a reference in the sector, and after completion of the project we are very satisfied, we have a production capacity of 700kgs/h and with a super-efficient energy consumption thanks to the installation of its ENERGYSAVE by Agrotec system and the recovery of all the heat from the lower bands, being our plant a reference in the area at the level of energy efficiency and production cost”
Mr. Miguel Cabañero
“We were dehydrating peppers and vegetables through a continuous direct air dryer with a capacity of 1.5 tons of dried peppers per day, we decided to install a new plant to gain more production at lower cost, contacting Agrotec, after completion of the project we have increased the production of dried peppers to 8tn/24h with an energy and cost savings of almost 50%, thanks to the ENERGYSAVE by Agrotec system. In addition, we have eliminated the risk of fire and cross-contamination of the product that we had with the previous dryer, thanks to the installation of the new Energysave By Agrotec system with a hot water recirculation system, I am very satisfied with the result”.

2º.- RENOVATION OF A CONTINUOUS BELT DEHYDRATION PLANT FOR PEPPERS, AROMATIC AND VEGETABLES.
The company JPG DESHIDRATADOS SL, is going to proceed to build new facilities and hires us to improve production efficiency and be more competitive in production cost in its process of dehydration of bell pepper and other products, proceeding to remove its simple hot air belt dryer with burner and install a new turnkey continuous belt drying plant.
The plant has 2 product entry systems.
– Bell pepper line, reception in hopper by pallets, elimination of leaves, washing, splitting and pre-drying on an elevator belt until it enters the dryer.
– Line of vegetables, herbs, and greens by reception on moving floors, vibration by shakers, cutter, washing, and pre-drying on elevator belt until it enters the dryer.
A 5-level dryer is installed with our ENERGYSAVE by Agrotec system, consisting of a temperature and humidity control system with 10 sensors, automatic pilot speed control adapted by our software, volumetric control of biomass input to the boiler, and total heat recovery system for moisture extraction through heat exchanger tubes.
After completion of the plant, the production increase and energy savings are as follows:
Dehydrated Bell Pepper From 2 tons/day to 8 tons/day.
Energy Consumption Savings of 42%
Dehydrated Vegetables 1.5 tons/day to 5.5 tons/day.
Energy Consumption Savings of 45%.
3.- PELLET FACTORY. AGRIBECO
They had a problem in the manufacture of pellet granules, as they did not have enough drying capacity, their production process was slowing down, and they wanted to be more competitive in energy saving.
After study by our technical office, it was decided to opt for the assembly of a dryer with biomass boiler and heat recovery of the external generators that are in use in the facilities, an exchanger is designed recovering all the waste heat from the jackets of the engines of the generators, with a saving at certain times of the year of 70% of the energy cost.
In terms of drying production capacity, the new installation increases from 1,800 kg/hour to 6,000 kg/hour.
With the designed heat recovery, it is not necessary to start up the boiler during most of the season.
4.-STEAM BOILER&DRIER PLANT INSTALLATION IN SICILY (ITALY)
The company Smartwood, hires us for the manufacture and installation of belt dryer for sawdust in wood pellets processing plant in Italy.
Plug&dry by Agrotec plant is designed and manufactured, dryer with all the installation process and ready to be put into production at destination, with a result of production optimization and energy savings of more than 35% and no risk of fire.
