Fruit and Vegetable Dehydration Process

Dried fruit and vegetable has always been very popular and occupies a large share in the market. The processing industry of dried fruit and vegetable is also developing rapidly. Due to the large market demand for dried fruit and vegetable, dried fruit and vegetable manufacturers choose a professional fruit and vegetable dryer machine to produce high-quality dried fruit and vegetable in large quantities. Next, Baixin Machinery will introduce the fruit and vegetable dehydration process according to the fruit and vegetable dehydrator.

There are three kinds of fruit and vegetable dehydrators produced by Baixin Machinery, namely heat pump fruit and vegetable dehydrator room, continuous mesh belt fruit and vegetable dehydrator, and all in one fruit and vegetable dehydrator. According to our years of sales experience, dehydrated fruit manufacturers prefer heat pump fruit and vegetable dehydrator rooms, but this is not absolute, the choice of fruit and vegetable dehydrator should still be based on your own output, heat source and other needs. Next, I will introduce these three fruit and vegetable dehydrators in turn.

1.Heat Pump Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator Room

According to our sales experience, the heat pump fruit and vegetable dehydrator room is the choice of most dehydrated fruit manufacturers, its output is 100-5000kg/batch, and the heat source can be electricity, coal, wood chips, natural gas, diesel oil, and propane, etc.

Working Principle of Heat Pump Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator Room

It adopts the principle of reverse Carnot cycle. It absorbs low-temperature heat energy in the air, and becomes high-temperature heat energy after efficient heat collection and integration of the heat pump system, which is transported to the dehydrator room to circulate heating and dehydrator the fruit, and the hot and humid air in the dehydrator room is directly discharged to the outside of the dehydrator room through the dehumidifier.

Advantages of Heat Pump Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator Room

The advantage of this heat pump fruit and vegetable dehydrator room is that it can quickly remove the water in the fruit without affecting the original color, shape and nutrient content of the fruit. The fruit heat pump dehydrator room is equipped with a computer control system, which can realize automatic temperature control. The dehydration temperature range of the heat pump dehydrator is 20-80°C. It has the advantages of strong dehydration capacity, better dehydration effect, simple operation, and 70% energy saving by adopting a heat pump system.

Components of Heat Pump Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator Room

The components of this heat pump fruit and vegetable dehydrator room include: Heat Pump, Trolley Tray, Fan Frame with Fan(Axial Compressor Fan), Dehydrator Room Parts.

2.Continuous Mesh Belt Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator

If the output of the dehydrator room cannot meet your requirements, you can consider choosing this continuous mesh belt fruit and vegetable dehydrator. It can achieve continuous production, and the output can reach 300-2000kg/h. The main heating methods are electric heating, steam heating, hot air heating, the heat source can be coal, wood chips, natural gas, diesel, propane, electricity, etc.

Working Principle of Continuous Mesh Belt Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator

Its main working principle is to spread the material evenly in the network. The material is moved in the dehydrator by the operation of the machine, and the hot air draws out the water vapor of the food. so as to achieve the purpose of dehydrator. The operation temperature is 40-120 degree centigrade. And the dehydrate cycle is 1-5 hours.

Advantages of Continuous Mesh Belt Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator

Its advantage is that the speed of dehydration fruit is relatively fast, and it can work continuously and uninterruptedly, so as to achieve large-scale production. Other than that, it's very flexible, it's easy or without installation, so you don't have to worry about installation.

Components of Continuous Mesh Belt Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator

The components of this continuous mesh belt fruit and vegetable dehydrator include: Homogenizer, Feeder Conveyor, Mesh belt fruit and vegetable dehydrator host, Heat source,Air Intake System, Control panel, Observation door, Output conveyor.

3.All-in-one Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator

This all-in-one fruit and vegetable dehydrator has a smaller output among the three fruit and vegetable dehydrators. Its output is 100-1500kg/batch. The heat source is mainly electricity, and it can also be coal, wood chips, natural gas, etc.

Working Principle of All-in-one Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator

Dehydration is take moisture away. But takes away the moisture temperature is not the most critical factor. The key for dehydration is depending on relative humidity within certain space, Baixin company took advantage of the dehydrate essence, originality developed a“Closed Cycle" dehydrator, changed the traditional heat pump dehydrator "bake" to “dehumidifier”.

Advantages of All-in-one Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator

1. The new dehydrator machine All-in-One fruit and vegetable dehydrator has a compact structure, great energy-saving, wide application, high dehydration quality, easy operation, simple installation, and movable.
2. It is the best dehydrator equipment for small firms, dehydration experiments, and scientific research. The uses only connect the power to use, is the easiest operation heat pump fruit and vegetable dehydrator.
3. Hot air only circulates inside and no energy is lost. The energy-saving is incomparable to traditional dehydrator machines.
4. Gentle dehydration at middle and low temperature, Aroma, appearance, and bioactivity are largely retained. 

Components of All-in-one Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator

The components of this all-in-one fruit and vegetable dehydrator include:Power jack, Water outlet, Exhaust air outlet, Supporting wheels, Controller(PLC control panel), Door lock, Observation window, Circulating Air Inlet, Outlet for hot and dehydrate air, PP tray, Stainless steel tray, Supporting racks for trays.

Fruit and Vegetable Dehydrator Price

The above three are the main fruit and vegetable dehydrators in the fruit and vegetable dehydrator industry. Regarding the price of these fruit and vegetable dehydrators, first of all, the fruit and vegetable dehydrator equipment is a customized machine. Different manufacturers have different production technologies and dehydrator levels. The performance, efficiency, and configuration of the fruit and vegetable dehydrator equipment produced are different, so the price will naturally vary greatly.
The price of the commonly used fruit and vegetable dehydrator room is about 3,500-50,000 US dollars, and the price of the fruit mesh belt dehydrator machine is about 30,000-100,000 US dollars. In addition to the basic equipment models, customized processing can also be carried out and quotes. 

The above are three types of professional fruit and vegetable dehydrators. If you want to know more, or want to buy a suitable fruit and vegetable dehydrator, you are welcome to contact us at any time, and we will recommend the most suitable one for you according to your needs.
