TRAYING LINE

For most products, one traying line can support 12 Tunnel Dryers, when the traying line is operated for one shift per day, and the dryers run 24 hours a day. A second shift doubles the capacity of the traying line, and minimizes the need for extra trays/cars(dollies). A standard traying line includes a elements that are modular in design. The operator has the option to mix and match the elements to the needs of the product that will be run that day.


The trayline is a combination of elements that are combined to meet the unique needs of a single product. The Traying line can be reconfigured at the end of one season into a system that can successfully process additional products. This flexibility accomplished by adding or replacing individual elements within the system, makes the CDS Traying Line highly prized among professional processors.
