How To Dry Carrot/Dehydrate Carrot In a Dehydrator

    Carrots have a crisp texture, a distinctive sweet taste, and high levels of vitamin C, and B vitamins. Dried carrots will not lose the nutrients they contain, but also are delicious and easy to preserve. Carotene contained in carrots will be translated into vitamin A in the body, and vitamin A is an important matter for the normal growth and development of bones, which is an essential factor for the growth of the body and is of great significance for promoting the growth and development of infants and young children.

Then, find a larger screen window, put the carrot strips vertically on it, and then put them in the sun to dry. After two or three days, they can be dried in the sun.

2.How to dry carrot in large quantity / What is the modern effect drying process for carrot?

• The ingredients for dehydrated carrots should choose fresh carrots with smooth surface, bright orange_red color, and health. Its length is 18 ~ 25 centimeters,  both ends of the thickness of the uniform, its diameter is 2.5 ~ 4 centimeters, and its core is thin.
• Cut the prepared carrots into carrot granules or other shapes, and then clean them with clean water.
• Place the cut carrots evenly on the sieve of the dryer to quickly dehydrate. The drying room temperature should be grasped between 65℃ and 75℃, and should not beyond 75℃, dry to its water content of 6%, and then quickly out.
• When packaging, dried carrots should not contain more than 7.5% water, and the color should be orange-yellow or orange-red, without impurities. The most important thing is that the packaging must be sealed.

There are some things that you need to pay attention to when dehydrating carrots.
  Because of the heat transfer during drying, the carrots are not uniform after drying.  Measures need to be taken in advance to reduce uneven shapes. In addition, Adopt high-level technology to avoid the loss of nutrients in carrots during dehydration. At the same time, to reduce the loss of coloring, it is necessary to reduce the time of the water process during dehydration.

3.Rcommendation of carrot drying machine  
(1)The first method:continuous mesh belt drying machine
Large amount of dehydration 200-5000kg/h carrot drying machine continuous automatic work easy operation
  Carrot Dryer Machine is a kind of continuous production drying equipment, the main heating way has electric heating, steam heating, hot air heating. 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 material. so as to achieve the purpose of drying.
The operation temperature is 40-120 degree centigrade. And the dry cycle is 1-5 hours.

Advantage of carrot continuous mesh belt dehydrator/drying machine 
1:Applicable：food series, vegetable series, fruit series, pharmaceutical series, agricultural and sideline products of large-scale continuous dehydration drying.
2:Output：200-3000kg/h
3:Drying time:0.5h-5h
4:Heat source: Coal,wood chips,natural gas,diesel,propane,electricity etc.
5:Core advantages:Fast dehydration，Continuous automatic work, high output, wide application for food vegetable fruit drying ,Flexible mobility,simple or without installation，small area occupy，no workshop required
(2)The second method:Heat pump dryer
Commercial 100-3000kg/h large amount of dehydration wide application and easy operation
  Heat pump drying machine use the principle of inverse Carnot cycle. It absorbs low-temperature heat energy in the air, which becomes high-temperature heat energy after efficient heat collection and integration by the heat pump system, and is transported to the drying room for cyclic heating and drying of materials.It refers to exhausting the hot and humid air in the drying room directly to the outside of the drying room through dehumidification device, and then replenishing natural fresh air.
  Hot air circle drying machine belongs to high temperature heat pump unit. Its working principle is: the working fluid of the heat pump is compressed by the compressor, becomes high temperature and high pressure gas, enters the condenser, condenses and liquefies the heat, and is used for air heating in the drying room. The moisture in the material is vaporized and evaporated by the form of hot air, and the evaporated water vapor is discharged by the moisture discharge system, thereby achieving the purpose of drying the drying material.

  The heat pump drying machine is Commercial All-in-one universal drying equipment without installation,suitable for 85% of food vegetable fruit mature material.This kind of dryer has the advantages of easy operation low cost clean and sanitary small area occupy.
1:Applicable：Vegetable,fruit,meat,seafood,agricultural ,noodle,wooden
2:Output：100-3000kg/h
3:Heat pump model:1P/2P/3P/6P/8P/10P/15P/20P/30P/40P/60P
4:Drying time:Depends on different drying materials
5:Core advantages:Energy saving and environmental protection, simple or without installation, easy operation operation, wide application for food vegetable fruit dryer，small area occupy
