Pomegranate Seed Drying Machine

Pomegranate seeds are products of pomegranate processing, which can be used for juicing, extracting health ingredients (such as pomegranate polyphenols), or as germplasm resources for preservation. Fresh pomegranate seeds have a high moisture content, and if not dried in a timely manner, they are prone to mold and decay, affecting their quality and subsequent utilization value.

Nanchong Shouchuang Technology relies on more than 50 years of experience in the research and development of agricultural product drying equipment. Targeting the characteristics of small pomegranate seeds, fragile outer skin, and moderate oil content, we have launched a series of pomegranate seed hot air drying equipment products. Through precise temperature control and hot air circulation drying technology, we not only preserve the nutrients and natural color of pomegranate seeds, but also achieve efficient and uniform dehydration and drying.

Working principle

The equipment adopts hot air circulation drying technology. After heating the air with a heat source (steam, electricity, natural gas, biomass, etc. are optional), the hot air is sent into the drying oven by a high-temperature resistant circulating fan, and evenly distributed through an adjustable uniform air plate to ensure consistent temperature in all areas of the oven.

Pomegranate seeds are laid flat on material trays or mesh belts inside the box, and hot air circulates through the material layer to remove evaporated moisture. The equipment is equipped with an automatic dehumidification system, where moisture is promptly discharged through the dehumidification port, and fresh air is replenished from the air inlet, forming a continuous fresh air supply dehumidification cycle, greatly improving drying efficiency.

Drying parameter reference: Based on the experimental data of pomegranate seeds, it is recommended to start with a low initial temperature and gradually increase it during the drying process, with a maximum temperature not exceeding 60 ℃. When the moisture content drops to 7% -10%, the drying process should be ended.

Product Features

1. Specially designed for pomegranate seeds

Pomegranate seeds are small in size and have fragile outer skin. The equipment adopts a gentle spreading and low-temperature high air drying strategy to effectively prevent nutrient loss and taste loss caused by skin damage.

2. Precise low-temperature temperature control

The temperature can be adjusted between 40-120 ℃ (conventional drying is recommended to be ≤ 60 ℃), and the optimal drying curve can be set according to the variety of pomegranate seeds and initial moisture content, effectively preserving active ingredients such as polyphenols.

3. Hot air circulation for uniform drying

There is an adjustable uniform air plate inside the box, which ensures even distribution of hot air and good consistency in material drying, avoiding uneven dryness and wetness in the same batch.

4. Automated intelligent control

Adopting a PLC touch screen control system, it can set drying programs for multiple temperature and time periods, automatically completing the entire process of temperature rise, constant temperature, and moisture removal, with easy operation.
