Hawthorn Drying Equipment

Hawthorn Drying Equipment is a specialized mechanical equipment used for efficient and hygienic dehydration of fresh hawthorn. It simulates and optimizes the traditional drying process, utilizing a precisely controlled hot air circulation system to quickly remove moisture from hawthorn and achieve long-term storage.

Traditional drying relies heavily on natural air drying, which has many drawbacks:

Dependent on weather: easily affected by rainy and humid weather, with long drying cycles and inability to produce continuously.

Difficulty in hygiene control: In outdoor environments, it is easy to be contaminated with dust, mud, mosquitoes, and other substances, leading to secondary pollution and a decrease in quality.

Uneven quality: During the drying process, the ginger is heated unevenly, which can easily lead to problems such as external dryness and internal moisture, blackening of color, and loss of aroma.

High cost: requiring a large drying area and investing a significant amount of manpower for flipping and monitoring, resulting in high overall costs.

The emergence of hawthorn dryer has completely solved the above pain points, realizing the industrialization, standardization and intelligence of hawthorn drying.

Q1: What capacity dryer do we need to purchase?

A: Capacity selection is based on your:

Daily fresh material processing volume: How many tons of fresh materials are planned to be dried per day?

Initial moisture content and target moisture content of materials: from how much moisture to how much moisture? This determines the total amount of water that needs to be removed.

Working hours: Are you planning to run for 8 hours, 16 hours, or 24 hours per day?

Suggestion: Provide this data to the equipment supplier, and they will recommend suitable models for you. It is usually recommended to reserve a surplus of 15% -20% on the calculated theoretical production capacity for future production needs.

Q2: What type of dryer should be chosen?

A: The most common type for large-scale, continuous production is the mesh belt dryer.

Advantages: Continuous operation, high degree of automation, large processing capacity, uniform drying, very suitable for sheet and granular materials such as vegetables, fruits, and traditional Chinese medicine.

Other types include drum type (suitable for powders and granules), box type (suitable for small batches and multiple varieties), etc. Your material form and output determine the optimal type.

What are the requirements for our factory building?

A: You need to confirm:

Site size: The length, width, and height of the equipment, as well as the need to reserve space for operation and maintenance.

Floor height: Multi story mesh belt dryers may require a higher factory height.

Ground bearing capacity: Large equipment has a heavy weight, and it is necessary to ensure that the ground meets the requirements.

Energy interface: Whether there are corresponding power interfaces, gas pipeline or steam interfaces.

Moisture removal/ventilation: It is necessary to consider moisture discharge channels and maintain workshop ventilation.
