A VERS-A-BELT Dryer – Your Commercial Dehydration Solution

Since 1979, food, feed, fertilizer, and pet care producers worldwide have come to Wal-Dor Industries for commercial dehydration solutions. Our clients include small-to-medium commercial processors of agricultural, timber, post-consumer, and bio-waste materials. VERS-A-BELT Dryers preserve the integrity and quality of your raw material to produce the highest quality end-product.

We believe your raw material needs special care

 Your raw material has unique requirements due to its moisture content, size, and flow characteristics. VERS-A-BELT Dryers use low temperatures and high air volume to produce the highest quality end-product. A VERS-A-BELT commercial dehydrator will use the circulation system that our research determines is best suited for your raw material. We do extensive testing with samples of your raw material and engineer a cost-effective solution for your production environment. 

Save energy and production costs

Using a VERS-A-BELT commercial dehydrator will help you save on the costs associated with heat energy. VERS-A-BELT Dryers are designed to recycle the heat – but not the moisture – in the drying process.

Safety first

VERS-A-BELT commercial dehydrators are equipped with important fire safety controls. They are programmed to shut down if the temperature exceeds set limits or in case of mechanical or electrical failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a delicate or heat sensitive raw material?

Conventional dryers use a lower volume of air and a higher temperature which can cause product ‘toasting’. VERS-A-BELT dehydrators avoid product scorching and heat-related damage by adapting our high air volume and heating/cooling technologies to each product.

We will design a commercial dehydrator specifically suited to your application. Our innovative airflow and stiration solutions preserve the integrity of your raw material and ensure a consistent end-result. Discover your competitive advantage with a VERS-A-BELT’s low-temperature, high airflow conveyor belt and our unique heating /cooling cycle.

Do you need an end-product with a uniform moisture level?

VERS-A-BELT stirators are designed to gently equalize moisture levels and create a consistent quality for a wide range of products. And our adjustable product depth levellers are custom designed to optimize airflow.

Does your raw material have high moisture content, or is it sticky?

VERS-A-BELT Dryers’ flat belt, product-levelling and feeder solutions (with side-to-side action) have proven effective for wet or sticky raw materials.

Are you removing moisture from bulky, non-fluid materials?

Find out about how a VERS-A-BELT Dryers’ pendulum action spreader and other adaptations can deliver the optimum moisture removal process for your raw materials.

Is your product easy flowing?

VERS-A-BELT Dryers have hoppers with adjustable- height gates for easy-flow products. Whatever your requirements, VERS-A-BELT commercial dryers offer innovative airflow, feeder, and leveller solutions for your product type. Ask us about a custom commercial drying solution that will make your processing operation efficient and cost-effective.

Our Unique Drying System

Conventional dryers use a lower volume of air which can cause product scorching. Rotary drum dryers usually operate at very high temperature and do not include a cooling cycle. The tumbling action can cause damage to the product. The unique features of the VERS-A-BELT commercial dehydrator ensure successful processing of your raw material:

  • Gentle action drying
  • Low temperature/ high air volume
  • Product conveyer belt carries the product throughout the drying/ cooling cycle.
  • Gentle action stirators give the finished product a consistency of quality
  • Heat and cool features available on each model
  • All models are available as coolers only
  • Quiet, adjustable fans (either adjustable pitch or centrifugal)
  • Adjustable conveyor depths for product
  • Safety controls to shut the dryer down
    • if temperature exceeds set limits
    • if electrical failure occurs
  • Our ‘carrier web’ conveyer belt eliminates mechanical damage to product
  • Continuous conveyance – not necessary to start and stop for reloading
  • VERS-A-BELT re-cycles the heat (but not the moisture) to lower energy costs

Optional Features:

  • Stirators are designed for equalizing moisture for a wide range of products
  • Automatic moisture control
  • ‘Motor starters’ for loading and unloading
  • Oscillating spreader for sticky or high moisture products that tend to compact
