Food Dehydration Business in India

India is a major agricultural exporter, with vegetables and fruits accounting for about 10 percent. However, fresh food is expensive to transport and has a short shelf life. Processing food into dry food can effectively reduce transportation costs, extend the shelf life of food, and increase the added value of food. Therefore, in India, the food processing industry is one of the fastest-growing and most promising industries. Food processing is inseparable from the food dehydration industry, such as the dehydration of meat, the dehydration of fish, and the dehydration of fruits and vegetables. In India, the food dehydration industry has huge potential for development.

Baixin Company's food dehydration machine is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, convenient, and has good drying color quality. And Baixin Machinery's food dehydrators are very popular in India. If you also want to join the food dehydration business in India, then you should need a professional food dehydration machine. The first thing you need to do is learn about food dehydration machines. Next, Baixin Company, which has more than ten years of dehydration experience, will introduce you the principle, components, technical parameters and how to choose a food dehydration machine that suits you.
Generally speaking, food dehydration machines are divided into three types: mesh belt food dehydration machines, heat pump food dehydration rooms and microwave food dehydration machines.

1. continuous mesh belt food dehydration machine

First of all, let's take a look at the continuous mesh belt food dehydration machine with the largest output. Mesh belt food dehydration 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 foods, just put the foods in the feeding port, and the foods will enter the dehydration machine with the feeding conveyor for drying.
Foods are dried and dehydration layer by layer from top to bottom. The drying speed is fast and the production efficiency is high, which is very suitable for the drying and processing of large quantities of foods.

Components of continuous mesh belt food dehydration machine

One set continuous mesh belt food dehydration machine contains: homogenizer, feeding conveyor,dehydrator host, output conveyor, observation door, heat source, air intake system, control panel. The food dehydration machine consists of 4 parts, namely the feed conveyor, the main machine of the mesh belt food dehydration machine, the heat source and the discharge conveyor. The reformer provides heat, and the through-flow mesh belt food dehydration machine is the main body of the drying equipment, which consists of a cabinet and multi-layer conveyor belts; the electrical control system controls the start, operation and stop of the entire equipment. With the cooperation of other auxiliary components, the drying equipment completes the drying and discharging process of food, and realizes the drying process of food drying. 

The working principle of continuous mesh belt food dehydration machine

Baixin continuous mesh belt food dehydration 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 food evenly in the network. Through the operation of the machine, the food moves in the dehydrator, and the hot air extracts the water vapor of the food. 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 foods, Chinese herbal medicines, etc. The equipment is easy to operate, saves time, has a healthy drying process, and protects the environment.

Other application areas of continuous mesh belt food dehydration machine

The mesh belt food dehydration machine is of good quality, the inner and outer dehydrators are made of stainless steel or paint material. High temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, no rust, suitable for drying foods, but also suitable for large-scale continuous dehydration and drying of food series, fruit series, pharmaceutical series, agricultural and sideline products.

2. heat pump food dehydration machine

The second type of food dehydration machine is the heat pump dehydration food machine.
The heat pump dehydration food machine is equipped with a trolley with trays and tray racks. When we dry the foods, we put the food in the tray, on the tray rack of the cart, and push it into the dehydration food chamber to dehydrate. Foods are putted on the shelf car and enter the closed cycle dehydration room for dehydration without any pollution in the process. The heat source of the heat pump dehydration food machine 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 foods.

Components of heat pump food dehydration machine

One set heat pump dehydration food machine 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 foods into the material tray, insert the food tray into the vegetable cart and push it into the dehydration room, and close the sealing door to start drying production. The dehydration temperature range is 65 ℃ - 85 ℃, and the dehydration temperature is divided into different temperatures, and the temperature is gradually lowered. Generally, the drying time is about 8-10 hours to complete a batch.

The working principle of food heat pump dehydration machine

The heat pump food dehydration room uses the reverse Carnot principle to let the hot air circulating blower dehydration food. Compressor and other equipment make up the refrigerant circulation system. 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 food heated evenly and achieves the purpose of dehydartion.

3. microwave food dehydration machine 

Components of food microwave dehydration machine

A complete food microwave dehydration machine includes: microwave chamber， water tower, PLC control panel, feeding part, conveyor, monitoring window.

Working principle of food microwave dehydration machine

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves at a frequency of 300 MHz to 300 GHz.The material in the heating medium in the molecules of water is a polar molecule. It is the rapidly changing under high-frequency magnetic field, its polarity orientation will be with the change of external electric field changes, resulting in molecular motion and friction between the effect, this field of the microwave field can be transformed into thermal energy within the medium, the temperature of the food increased, heating and puffing a series of physical and chemical processes, to achieve the purpose of microwave heating and drying.
During the equipment is working the microwave generator produces the microwave. The material enter into the heating chamber by conveyor. At this time, moisture and bacteria inside the material evaporate under the action of microwave energy to achieve unfreeze sterilization ripening fixing drying purpose.
