Industrial dryer manufacturer – Technology with a system

HARTER has brought heat pump drying to industrial perfection. The closed air circuit principle ensures that the process air remains in the system, is dehumidified and reused – without exhaust air losses and without influence from outside air.

Advantages of this technology:

  • up to 70% less energy consumption compared to conventional hot air drying
  • precise temperature control between 20 °C and 75 °C
  • uniform residual moisture levels for all product types
  • exhaust air-free, clean operation without dust or odors
  • long service life thanks to high-quality materials and robust technology

Heat pump drying is suitable for almost all industrial processes – from batch drying to continuous line integration.
How companies are expanding their production capacities with this technology is shown in Expanding capacities with heat pump dryers.

Industrial dryer manufacturer – Industries, applications and system concepts

As a manufacturer, HARTER covers a broad range of applications. Each industry has its own requirements – HARTER delivers the right solution.

Typical applications:

  • Food industry: Drying of fruit, vegetables, herbs, meat or pet food
  • Chemicals & Pharma: controlled residual moisture levels for powders, granules or tablets
  • Metal processing: Drying after cleaning, coating or electroplating
  • Plastics technology: Dehumidification of molded parts and components
  • Environmental technology: Sewage and industrial sludge after chamber filter press

System types:

  • Chamber dryers/tray dryers for flexible batch processes
  • Belt and tunnel dryers for continuous production processes
  • Special systems for individual space, volume or material requirements

All systems are tested in the company’s own technical center. Here, HARTER tests the products of its customers – sectional image, air flow, temperature and humidity are precisely determined. These data flow directly into the series design and guarantee maximum process reliability.

Further examples and fields of application can be found in the Industries section.

The Process

We dry with dry air and deliver it to the right places: A perfect interplay of air preparation and air guidance provides you with the best possible drying result.

Interface: Airgenex® Dehumidification Technology / Dryer – Moist air is extracted from the drying chamber and supplied to the dehumidification unit.

The pre-cooler pre-cools the air in a first stage. This significantly reduces the compressor’s energy consumption.

Moisture condenses on the fins of the air cooler and drains out of the drying system via the drip tray and condensate drain.

The cooled, dehumidified air is warmed up without additional energy by means of a pre-heater.
The air heater warms the air to the required process temperature.

The process air fan ensures the necessary air exchange between the Airgenex® dehumidification technology and the drying chamber.

Now, the dry, unsaturated air is guided into the drying chamber, where it absorbs the product’s moisture. Thus, the cycle is closed.

Efficiency that pays off.

Our HARTER drying systems save up to 75% CO₂ and are up to 45% governmentally funded.

Industrial dryer manufacturer – Sustainability, energy efficiency and future viability

Heat pump drying stands for ecological responsibility and economic efficiency at the same time. Thanks to the closed air circuit, energy is used multiple times; waste heat remains in the system. This significantly reduces operating costs and reduces CO₂ emissions.

Sustainable advantages of HARTER technology:

  • up to 70% energy savings
  • no exhaust air emissions or filter costs
  • reduced CO₂ balance
  • long service life thanks to robust components
  • eligible technology (e.g. BAFA, EU programs)

Many customers combine HARTER dryers with photovoltaics, heat recovery or energy monitoring systems. This makes production not only more efficient, but also more sustainable.

How companies optimize their processes with HARTER is described in: How solutions for heat pump dryers are created.

What our customers say

Not convinced yet? Our customers are thrilled!

“Sometimes it is better to say nothing and let your customers speak for themselves.”
– Regina Mader, Managing Director

“For several decades, we have been using a sludge dryer from Harter in our electroplating shop and are very satisfied with it. The technology and service are reliable and have helped us save a lot of money on disposal.”

Daniel Hutter
Verzinkerei Kriessern AG

“BK Giulini GmbH has been working successfully with Harter GmbH for around 20 years. We are very satisfied with both the dryer technology and the reliability of the complete system. Based on these positive experiences and the very good service, we invested in another drying system of this type in 2023.”

Dimitri Baumbach
ICL Ladenburg / BK Giulini GmbH (ICL Group)

“In our waste incineration plant, we have saved an enormous amount of money by drying our heavy metal-containing hydroxide sludge. The system technology is sustainable and easy to maintain. In retrospect, the investment was a very good decision.”

Stefan Ringmann
KVA Linth

FAQ – Frequently asked questions to HARTER

HARTER combines engineering experience with individual manufacturing. Each system is developed, tested and configured to customer specifications in our own factory – from laboratory to series production.

The air is dehumidified, heated and reused in a closed circuit. This makes drying independent of external conditions and extremely energy-efficient.

Depending on the application, between 20 °C and 75 °C. This allows both sensitive materials and robust industrial products to be dried optimally.

Yes. All systems are modular and can be integrated into existing production lines – regardless of batch or continuous operation.

Via sensor technology, digital monitoring and precise control of temperature, air flow and humidity. The parameters are determined and validated in advance in the technical center.

Yes. Due to their high energy efficiency, they meet the requirements of many national and European funding programs.
