Hawthorn slices drying process

(1)①Drying temperature for hawthorn slices is generally controlled between 80°~130°

② The dryer should have at least a five-layer structure, featuring a cyclic flipping mechanism to dry each layer sequentially, greatly simulating manual sun-drying under the sun.

③ The fifth layer consists of drier material, with each subsequent layer becoming progressively wetter and then dehydrated. The drier material is exposed to hot air, while the wetter material is subjected to moist hot air, thus preventing direct contact between wet items and dry hot air. This greatly reduces the damage to the item's essence and color caused by exposure to sunlight.

④ Items in the multi-layer drying machine are dehydrated and dried layer by layer through cyclic circulation. Wet air is directly exhausted from the top, reducing contact time between wet air and items. Additionally, slightly opening the observation ports on each layer allows for continuous moisture expulsion. This method completely avoids the "fermentation" phenomenon that occurs when wet air contacts items for an extended period, ensuring the color of the items is preserved.

(2) The combustion chamber of the equipment is separated from the vertical multi-layer drying box. The drying box is isolated, with pure hot air entering, ensuring no contamination and eliminating fire hazards.

(3) Fuel Range: Available with wood residues and coal.

(4) Split-body design for equipment; the drying section is made of stainless steel, resistant to high temperatures and corrosion.

(5) During the drying process of hawthorn slices, observe their color and moisture changes through the observation holes at all times. Ensure good dehumidification for bright colors. Avoid removing the bottom layer from the oven too dry; after releasing an appropriate moisture content, spread them out for air-drying.

(6) This equipment is developed and produced based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, offering unparalleled dehydration and drying for herbs, dried fruits, and more.

Introduction to Fruit and Vegetable Drying Machines

The multi-layer flip drying machine for fruits and vegetables utilizes the principle of multi-layer heat air utilization, suitable for dehydrating and drying various items such as herbs, dried fruits, and vegetables in sheet, block, strip, and granular forms. It employs pure hot air generated by a hot air furnace, with a controllable temperature range of 50℃ to 160℃, and simultaneously performs both heating and ventilation drying methods. It enhances the reasonable adjustment of hot air ventilation volume, with the multi-layer drying chamber cyclically flipping to dry each layer, fully utilizing the hot air for quick dehydration and efficient operation.

Equipment Type:JLS-5-6 (Small), JLS-5-14 (Medium), JLS-5-25 (Standard), Extended Products

Equipment Composition:Hot air furnace (with powerful fan), air ducts, multi-layer flip-dryer, temperature control box.

Equipment Features:

(1) Excellent drying effect, quick dehydration, fully preserves the original color and essence of the item.

① The hot air provided is pure, with the temperature of the hot air tailored to the item's requirements, ranging from 50℃ to 160℃, with an automatic control of the set temperature range.

② The dryer should have at least a five-layer structure, featuring a cyclic flipping mechanism for layer-by-layer drying, effectively simulating manual sun-drying under the sun.

③ The fifth layer consists of drier material, which gradually becomes wetter as it goes up, with each layer being dehydrated. The drier material is in contact with hot air, while the wetter material is exposed to humid hot air, preventing the wet items from coming into direct contact with dry hot air. This significantly reduces the damage to the item's essence and color caused by exposure to sunlight.

④ Items inside the dryer are dehydrated and dried layer by layer through a cyclic process, with moist air directly exhausted from the top, minimizing contact time between the moist air and items, thus completely avoiding the "fermentation" phenomenon that occurs with prolonged contact, ensuring the color of the items remains intact.

(2) The combustion chamber of the equipment is separated from the dryer, ensuring isolation. The air entering the dryer is pure and hot, pollution-free, and poses no fire hazard.

(3) Fuel versatile, available in wood scraps and coal.

(4) Split-body design of equipment; drying layer made of stainless steel, withstanding high temperatures and corrosion.

Dried Lonicera (with equipment package including a blanching machine)(Honeysuckle drying is typically 5 lbs dried for 1 lb)

Equipment Specifications:

(1) Braking Machine Operation Instructions

① Ignition and Operation: Once the furnace is ignited, start the drum rotation; observe the combustion and start the blower to assist in combustion as needed.

② Material cooling: The cooling temperature for Lonicera japonica should be between 200℃~300℃. The material handler can first add a small amount of fresh material for a test.

Then, proceed with normal material addition for the fermentation process. Initially during the fermentation, the furnace temperature is not high and unstable. The material handler should promptly observe the fermentation effect and adjust the material addition accordingly. Once the combustion in the furnace is normal, the furnace chamber temperature becomes relatively stable, allowing for a consistent material addition rate (preferably without visible fermentation discoloration after completion). Simultaneously, adjust the fermentation temperature and material addition based on the flower's moisture content and ripeness. The coal addition to the fermentation machine should be done sparingly and frequently to maintain an appropriate fermentation temperature. Normal material addition should involve turning on the fan and the hot air furnace.
