How to dry konjac?

  Konjac should not be eaten raw, it needs to be processed and eaten. Konjac has many functions such as lowering blood pressure, lowering blood sugar, lowering blood fat, balancing salt, cleansing the stomach, regulating the intestines, detoxifying, beautifying, losing weight, etc. It is healthy food. And dried konjac will not change any of its nutritional value.

  The natural drying method of drying dried konjac chips by sun exposure is the main way of traditional dry chip production. However, the long rainy weather and poor threshing ground conditions have a great impact on the quality of dried konjac chips, which is characterized by poor color and luster, easy to damp and deteriorate, time-consuming, labor-consuming, and low sales price due to color difference, which makes the income of konjac growers worse. At present, ready-made stoves are mostly used for production, which is slightly modified and manually heated and dried. By using the heat generated by burning anthracite in the stove and the continuous high temperature, the moisture contained in konjac chips, strips, and corners are volatilized, and the water content is reduced so that the water content of fresh konjac is reduced from 80%-85% to below 15%.
Different konjac thicknesses will have different dehydrating times, more thinner, the dehydrating time will be shorter. The dried konjac slices will retain moisture when they are in direct contact with the air, so a sealed package is required. If you use vacuum packaging, you can better preserve the color and aroma of konjac slices.
There are five steps here:
1. First, select high-quality konjac and then slice them evenly.
2. Second, put them on the tray and keep a small distance from each other can not overlap.
3. Third, put them into the drying machine and set the target temperature at 50 degrees C to fixing.
4. Finally, when finishing the third step we can increase the temperature at 60 degrees and continue to dry.
5. After 10 hours will finish the drying process.

How to dry konjac in large quantity?

  The water content of fresh konjac is generally 80%-85%. The fresh konjac is large in size and crisp in nature. It is easy to be damaged due to moving, friction, and collision during transportation, which leads to deterioration, decay, and corruption and is not resistant to storage. Moreover, fresh konjac is produced in mountainous areas, which makes transportation more difficult due to inconvenient transportation. Therefore, many konjac people choose to process it into dry pieces and taro horns on the spot and then transport them out of the mountains for deep processing, to achieve the highest economic benefit.
The powerful Baixin konjac drying machine is accessible with distinct capacities and the drying system can be fully customized according to your requirements. 

Henan Baixin has two types of professional konjac dryer.

1:The first method:konjac 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.

2:The second method:konjac continuous mesh belt drying machine

Large amount of dehydration 200-5000kg/h konjac drying machine continuous automatic work easy operation
  Konjac 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.
