Herbal Drying Machine

In order to facilitate storage, fresh herbs need to be processed into dried herbs after being picked. At present, there are two common drying methods for herbs, one is sun-drying, and the other is using a herbal drying. One of the main disadvantages of the method is that it is very affected by the weather and takes a long time. Therefore, more and more manufacturers of dried herbs choose to use herbal dryers. This method can not only produce large volumes but also save manpower, so the next step Let's take a look at the herbal dryers produced by Baixin Machinery.

The herbal drying produced by Baixin Machinery are the four common types on the market, which are heat pump herbal drying room, continuous mesh belt herbal drying machine, microwave herbal drying machine and all-in-one herbal drying machine. These four types of herbal drying have their own advantages, and the applicable drying requirements are also different. The specific information is as follows.

1.Continuous Mesh Belt Herbal Drying Machine

The first is continuous mesh belt herbal drying machine. 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 Herbal Drying Machine

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

Components of Continuous Mesh Belt Herbal Drying Machine

The components of this continuous mesh belt herbal drying machine include: Homogenizer, Feeder Conveyor, Mesh belt herbal drying host, Heat source,Air Intake System, Control panel, Observation door, Output conveyor.

Advantages of Continuous Mesh Belt Herbal Drying Machine

Its advantage is that the speed of drying herb 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.

2.Heat Pump Herbal Drying Room

This is heat pump herbal drying room. 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 Herbal Drying 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 dryer room to circulate heating and dryer the herb, and the hot and humid air in the dryer room is directly discharged to the outside of the dryer room through the dehumidifier.

Components of Heat Pump Herbal Drying Room

The components of this heat pump herbal drying room include: Heat Pump, Trolley Tray, Fan Frame with Fan(Axial Compressor Fan), Dryer Room Parts.

Advantages of Heat Pump Herbal Drying Room

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

3.Microwave Herbal Drying Machine

This one is microwave herbal drying machine. Its output is 100-2000kg/h. The drying time is 2-5min.

Working Principle of Microwave Herbal Drying 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 material 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 materials 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.

Components of Microwave Herbal Drying Machine

The microwave herbal drying machine mainly has six components,Microwave Chamber, Water Tower, PLC Control Panel, Feeding Part, Conveyor, Monitoring Window.

Advantages of Microwave Herbal Drying Machine

1:Fast processing efficiency:
It takes about a few minutes to complete the process from feeding to discharging. The processing efficiency is fast and the effect is good。
2:Uniform drying effect。
The microwave dryer can make all parts of the material have the same effect.
3:Drying and sterilizing simultaneously, tunnel type design, cover small area, continuous production，
4:Clean and sanitary: it will not pollute the material, nor change the color, fragrance, and nutritional content of the material.

4.All-in-one Herbal Drying Machine

This all-in-one herbal drying machine has a smaller output among the four herbal drying machines. 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 Herbal Drying Machine

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

Components of All-in-one Herbal Drying Machine

The components of this all-in-one herbal drying machine 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 dry air, PP tray, Stainless steel tray, Supporting racks for trays.

Advantages of All-in-one Herbal Drying Machine

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

These four are the most commonly used herbal drying machines on the market. They each have their own advantages and are suitable for drying various herbs.
