food drying process
How to dry food:
1:Place the food on the conveyor belt of the food dryer. The food is spread on the feeder by the homogenizing device on the conveyor belt.The stacking thickness of food is 10-20CM.
2:After the food enters the food dryer, it runs in an “S”; shape in the dryer. The transmission part of the food dryer adopts a variable-frequency speed-regulating motor, which can control the internal operation time of the drying according to the difference of the water content of the food.
3:The wind speed and wind pressure generated by the hot air blower make the hot air fully and evenly distributed inside the food dryer. Because the lower pressure is greater than the upper pressure, the hot air naturally moves upward, passing through each layer of the mesh belt, plus the movement and rolling of the food, Make the food fully contact with the hot air, fully heat exchange, and improve the drying efficiency. The dried food will drain through the last layer.

food dryer introduction
Working principle of food dryer
food dryer machine is a kind of continuous production drying equipment, the main heating way has electric heating, steam heating, hot air heating. Its main working principle is to spread the material evenly in the network. The material is moved in the dryer by the operation of the machine, and the hot air draws out the water vapor of the material. so as to achieve the purpose of drying.
The operation temperature is 40-120 degrees centigrade. And the dry cycle is 1-5 hours.
Components of food dryer:
food dryer includes a heat source, feed conveyor, air intake system, discharge conveyor, electronic control system, and drying host.
Advantages of the food dryer
1. High capacity: The food dryer has continuous automatic production, fast dehydration speed, short drying time and high output.
2. High quality: food can be maintained full of shape, bright, color.
3. Clean and sanitation: The entire food drying process is completed in a closed box, free from external pollution.
4. Intelligent and controllable: High degree of automation equipment, simple operation. Drying area, air pressure, air flow, drying temperature, and belt running speed can be adjust.
5. Wide usage: Can be used for material from any field.
6. Flexible heat source selection: Coal,wood chips,natural gas,diesel,propane,electricity etc.
7. Flexible mobility, simple or without installation.
