1. How to dry chilli before at home?

  There are two traditional methods for drying chilli.

Another way is sunlight spread the chilli in the sunlight evenly after a few days explosion then get the dried chilli.

2. How to dry chilli step by step in oven?

  The key steps of the chilli drying process are as follows:
1. Stacking thickness
The stacking thickness of chilli should be 20~30 cm. The stacking is too thin, has good air permeability and low wind resistance. Although it is beneficial to heat exchange, the contact time between hot air and chilli is relatively short, and the heat utilization rate is low. If it is too thick, the resistance will increase too much, the hot air cannot penetrate the material layer, and the drying effect will be poor.
Second, the choice of temperature
The value of hot air temperature for chilli drying is related to the quality and drying efficiency. Try to analyze the composition of the chilli and the influence of several main components at a certain temperature. The temperature of the chilli dryer can be adjusted from 20 to 80°C; the segmented drying method is adopted, which is currently the superior method of chilli drying.
Three, section drying
Segmented drying is currently a superior method for drying chilli, that is the chilli with a moisture content of 75%-85% are dried for the first time until the moisture content of the pepper is 50%, and then they are dried for the second time.
Stepping on the pile and sweating is a very important step in the chilli drying process.  The main function of stepping on the pile and sweating is to condition and make the chilli oil penetrate the surface. After drying, the color of the chilli is consistent, ruddy, and smooth, and the moisture content of the chilli tends to be balanced. If you don’t step on the pile to sweat, it will take 63 hours to dry 1000 kg of chilli and the hot air temperature is 40℃-60℃. After stepping on the pile, the sweat can be shortened to about 40 hours, and the yellow husks will be significantly reduced. After the second drying is completed, super high-quality dried chilli products can be obtained.

How to dry chilli in large quantities/dehydrate chilli in a dehydrator:

  Due to the different quality and maturity of chilli, individual chilli that cannot be dried in the first drying operation should be selected and re-dried. The moisture content of pepper raw materials is very high, generally 75% to 85%. Drying with hot air at 40-60°C, the relative temperature is lower than 70% at first, and the relative humidity drops below 52% after 5 hours. After 12 hours, the relative humidity is lower than 40%.

Recommendation of chilli dehydrator/drying machine

1:Large amount of dehydration 200-5000kg/h chilli drying machine continuous automatic work easy operation
  Chilli 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.


2:Household Commercial 100-3000kg/h All-in-one drying equipment without installation for any material
  Drying essence 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”. Its several advantages were unmatched by the traditional heat pump dryer.
