FEC (Food Engineering Corporation) specialized in custom engineered dryers with a focus on sanitation and cleanibility. The company was founded in 1965 by Mr. Ralph Burgess, Jr. The first equipment designed and built at FEC were dough proofers and ribbon conditioners for Pillsbury and other bakery plants. The company introduced a variety of shaker pre-dryers and dryers for the short-goods pasta industry.  In 1973, the first cereal dryers were installed in both General Mills and General Foods plants.
