Vacuum Tray Drying
The liquid extract is spread over various trays to form a batch. It is
placed in a vacuum oven where it is dried into a solid brittle cake. The
cake is then granulated through a mill to produce a free flowing powder.
This process is carried out to produce special types of malt extract powder.

Dry Malt Extract is sometimes called DME contains less than 3% moisture and
can be properly stored for up to 4 years as per studies. Putting Liquid Malt
Extract into a slowly moving band passing through the vacuum makes dried
Malt Extract. Drying occurs with the circulation of hot air through this
moving bed of material. The vacuum allows evaporation to happen at a lower
temperature and aids the extract to puff.
