Vegetable Dehydration Process

Vegetables play an important role in our daily diet. Eating vegetables regularly can enhance our immunity and resist aging. However, fresh vegetables have a short shelf life, and in rainy weather, the vegetables may rot. Therefore, dehydrated vegetables is not only good for preservation, but also provides more options for cooking methods. Some dried vegetables have entered the market and are deeply loved by people. So what are vegetable dehydration process? How to choose a suitable vegetable dehydration process machine? Now, Baixin Dehydration Company will share with you several vegetable dehydration machine that are energy-saving, environmentally friendly, convenient, and have very good drying color and luster quality.

How to choose a suitable vegetable dehydration machine?

Vegetable dehydration machine are divided into three types: mesh belt vegetable dehydrationprocess machine, vegetable dehydration room and all-in-one vegetable dehydration process machine.
In terms of output, the continuous mesh belt vegetable dehydration process machine is suitable for manufacturers with large output. Its output is 300-2000kg/h. The output of the vegetable dehydration room process machine is smaller than that of the mesh belt vegetable dehydration process machine, and the output is 100-5000/batch. The output of the all-in-one vegetable dehydration process machine is the smallest, and its output is 100-1500/batch. It is suitable for agricultural processs or small processing processs. Oven length and mesh belt layers can be customized. We can choose and match them reasonably according to our own processing requirements.

1. continuous mesh belt vegetable dehydration process machine

Frist of all, let's take a look at the continuous mesh belt vegetable dehydration process machine with the largest output. Mesh belt vegetable dehydration process machine have a wide range of heat sources such as coal heating, gas heating, steam heating, biomass pellet heating or electric heating. It is a multi-layer continuous drying structure. When drying vegetables, just put the vegetables in the feeding port, and the vegetables will enter the dehydration with the feeding conveyor for drying.

The working principle of continuous mesh belt vegetable dehydration process machine

Baixin continuous mesh belt vegetable dehydration process machine is a continuous production drying equipment. The main heating methods are electric heating, steam heating and hot air heating. Its main working principle is to distribute the material evenly in the network. Through the operation of the process, the vegetable moves in the dehydration, and the hot air extracts the water vapor of the vegetable. So as to achieve the purpose of drying. The working temperature is 40-120 degrees Celsius. The drying cycle is 1-5 hours. Mainly used for agricultural and sideline products such as fruits and vegetables, Chinese herbal medicines, etc. The equipment is easy to operate, saves time, has a healthy drying process, and protects the environment.

Components of continuous mesh belt vegetable dehydration process machine

One set continuous mesh belt vegetable dehydration process machine contains: homogenizer, feeding conveyor,dehydration host, output conveyor, observation door, heat source, air intake system, control panel. The vegetable dehydration consists of 4 parts, namely the feed conveyor, the main process of the mesh belt vegetable dehydration, the heat source and the discharge conveyor. With the cooperation of other auxiliary components, the drying equipment completes the drying and discharging process of vegetable, and realizes the drying process of vegetable drying.

2. Vegetable dehydration room

The second type of dehydration is the vegetable dehydration room.
The vegetable dehydration room is equipped with a trolley with trays and tray racks. When we dry the vegetables, we put the vegetables in the tray, on the tray rack of the cart, and push it into the vegetable drying chamber to dry. Vegetables are putted on the shelf car and enter the closed cycle drying room for drying without any pollution in the process. The heat source of the vegetable dehydration room is air. The heat in the air is absorbed by the heat pump compressor. After being compressed and released, a large amount of high-temperature hot air can be obtained, so as to achieve uniform drying and processing of vegetables.

The working principle of vegetable dehydration room

The vegetable heat pump dehydrator uses the reverse Carnot principle to let the hot air circulating blower dry the vegatable. The fan impeller rotates, the outside air enters the oven, passes through the heater, forms hot air, and then enters the studio through the gap of the air distribution plate, and a large amount of hot air in the circulating flow continues to enter the new air inlet for supplementation. The moisture discharged after recovery is discharged from the exhaust port. The whole cycle makes the vegatable heated evenly and achieves the purpose of drying. 

Components of vegetable dehydration room

One set vegetable dehydration room contains: heat pump dehydration host, dehydration chamber, fan frame with fan, trolley with tray. The dehydration chamber is used 100mm polyurethane insulation board, supporting 304 stainless steel trolleys and trays. Put the vegetables into the material tray, insert the material tray into the material cart and push it into the drying room, and close the sealing door to start drying production.

3. All-in-one vegetable dehydration process machine

The last vegetable dehydration process machine is the all-in-one vegetable dehydration process with the smallest yield.
The drying principle is the same as that of the vegetable dehydration room. The all-in-one vegetable dehydration process machine is equipped with a cart with trays and tray racks. When drying vegetables, we put them in trays, put them on the tray racks of the cart, and then push them into the vegetable drying chamber for drying.
The heat source of the vegetable integrated dehydration is air energy. The heat in the air is absorbed by the heat pump compressor. After compression and release, a large amount of high-temperature hot air can be obtained, so as to achieve continuous and uniform drying and processing of vegetables. The operation of this all-in-one drying machine is relatively simple, simply plug in and dry.

Components of all-in-one vegetable dehydration machine

One set all-in-one vegetable dehydration process machine contains: power jack, water outlet,exhaust air outlet, supporting wheels, PLC controller pancl, door lock, observation window,circulating air inlet, outlet for hot and dry air, PP tray, stainless steel tray, supporting racks for trys. The vegetable all-in-one mqchine has compact structure, good energy-saving effect, wide application range, high drying quality, convenient operation, simple installation and disassembly. It is the best drying equipment for small businesses, drying experiments and scientific research. The user only needs to connect the power to use, it is the easiest to operate vegetable dehydration.
