May 20, 2022 – Dedert continues to revolutionize the processing of Vital Wheat Gluten (VWG) with the successful start-up of a ring dryer at a new wheat ingredients plant in Europe. Dedert’s engineering team collaborated in close partnership with our client’s team to commission the drying system and produce a saleable product within a few days.

Since the early 1970s, the Dedert team has excelled at innovating technologies and features for drying VWG, a particularly challenging product for drying with a consistency similar to chewing gum. Over the decades, in response to the challenges caused by increasing demand and capacity, Dedert has implemented new process and mechanical designs to achieve high production output; improve robustness, safety and energy efficiency; and provide easy cleaning and maintenance.

Today, Dedert’s process supply includes the CIP-able screw press, ring dryer, specially-designed milling system, and automated control system to produce a high-quality VWG product with guaranteed vitality and water absorption characteristics and functionality.
