How To Dry Napier Grass/Dehydrate Napier Grass In a Dehydrator

  Napier grass is a large perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Pteris of Gramineae, native to Africa. The stems of Napier grass are erect 2-4 meters high. Nodes are smooth or hairy, and there are densely pubescent at the base of the inflorescence. The leaf sheaths are smooth or warty. The leaves are short, linear, flat, and hard. But sweet Napier grass is tall plants, up to 5 meters tall and more tillers, usually up to 50-100; The leaves are 40-100cm long and 1-3cm wide.

What is the value of drying Napier grass?
  Napier grass gets its name because elephants like to eat. It is good fodder for wild and domestic animals because of simple planting, Good palatability, and high Nutritional value. Napier grass is often used as fodder, and can also be silaged or made into hay. Soft Napier grass has better palatability, and soy is generally added to silage and hay to improve its palatability and digestibility. Therefore, planting Napier grass in a large area is one of the effective ways to solve the shortage of feed. 

   Napier grass can be harvested many times for a year and fed to livestock after harvesting. However, the yield of Napier grass is large and it needs to be stored for a long time. Because of the high moisture content of Napier grass, mildew will occur in long-term storage. To ensure the transportation, storage, and use of Napier grass, Henan Baixin Company has developed a set of equipment for drying Napier grass according to the characteristics of Napier grass, that is air-flow mesh belt Napier grass drying machine.

How to dry Napier grass

  Through the cleaning and blanching treatment at early stage, Napier grass is placed on the mesh belt conveyor to increase its surface area, thereby increasing the drying time and quality, and improving the low drying efficiency of traditional drying equipment. Automatic drying uses hot air as the drying medium and sends the hot air to the dryer through the induced draft fan to dry the Napier grass; the processed Napier grass are conveyed by multi-layer stainless steel mesh belts, which are turned over in the dryer through multi-layer cycles, and the hot air go through the mesh belt and material layer from bottom to top, and dry layer by layer, and then achieve the purpose of drying. According to the different moisture content of the Napier grass, the air volume of the induced draft fan, the running speed of the mesh belt, and the temperature in the dryer can be adjusted through the electronic control system to ensure a good drying effect.
  The Napier grass multi-layer mesh belt drying line is mainly composed of feeder, blower, heat pump,drying machine host, discharging machine,temperature control system device and power distribution cabinet. The dryer has the advantages of reasonable design, excellent production, stable performance, better technology, high output, low energy consumption, small footprint, and high degree of mechanization.

Recommendation of Napier grass dehydrator/drying machine

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