How to dry leaf quickly, dehydrate leaf in a dehydrator?

  The leaves can be the leaves of any edible vegetable. Sesame leaves and spinach leaves are very nutritious. Leaves are an important source of vitamins for the human body. But the leaves are easy to rot in a day or two. We all know that dried leaves are easy to store and carry, and we can eat them at any time. At the same time, dried leaves also have high nutritional value. The taste of dried leaves is also better. But how can we quickly dry the leaves and dehydrate them in a dehydrator. The specific methods are as follows.

How to dry leaf in a traditional method?

  One traditional way is to dry the leaves by drying them in the air. First, we need to wash the leaves clean. Throw away the leaves with pests and decay. Second, cut the leaves into even sizes, which is convenient for dehydration at the same time. Third, we need to dry the cut leaves in sun. Put the leaves on the rope or on the ground to dry. Be careful not to place the leaves too crowded to prevent the leaves from rot. During drying, it needs to be turned manually. The last step is to pack the leaves in a sealed bag. The premise is that the temperature of the leaves drops.

  However, the production speed of this traditional production method is relatively slow, and the output is limited relative to the dehydrator. Moreover, in today’s fast-paced life, we don’t have so much time to dry leaves in traditional ways. So we need a dehydrator to play its role and help us dry the leaves.
Follow the steps to use the dehydrator so that we can make dried leaves.

Step one: Product warm-up. We need to make the leaves quickly warm up to the internal and external temperature balance, which usually takes about 5-10 minutes.

Step two: Finishing treatment. The main function of deactivation is to destroy and inactivate the oxidase activity in fresh leaves through high temperature, so that the leaves can maintain the original color and appearance, and can also improve part of the fragrance, in addition to deodorization and sterilization.

Step three: Material shrink. Only by reasonably controlling the dehydration rate of leaves, can we achieve uniform shrinkage and ensure the quality requirements of leaves. 

Step four：Enhance fragrance. Enhance fragrance is the end stage of drying. Through the effect of high temperature, it can promote the leaves of aroma. Also can enrich the flavor of leaves and improve the drying quality and value of leaves. If we do not have too high quality requirements, we don’t need this step.

Steps five: Air-dried to regain moisture. The way of air drying and moisture regain is very simple. After the whole drying process is completed, the material can be reduced to room temperature, so that the moisture of leaves can reach a constant state. Then we can package. For example, if the moisture content of scented tea is too low during drying, the finished product will be directly packaged, which is not conducive to maintaining the product appearance. This situation can be avoided after moisture regain.

To dry leaf on a large scale, traditional methods cannot meet the demand, so drying with a dryer is a good choice. 
The powerful Baixin leaf 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 leaf dryer.

1:The first method:leaf 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:leaf continuous mesh belt drying machine

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