How to Make Dried Mango/How To Dehydrate Mango:

  Mango is one of the famous tropical fruits. Mango fruit contains sugar, protein, crude fiber, and vitamin C. It has high nutritional value: anti-cancer, strengthening immunity, anti-aging, Weight loss, and so on. Because mangoes are inconvenient for fresh storage and long-distance transportation, products that should have been highly profitable are often unsalable, however, the mango dryer can solve the problem of unsalable mangoes.

The traditional method of making dried mangoes:

1. Peel the mango
2. Use a knife to cut the mango into slices of about 0.5mm
3. Put an appropriate amount of water and sugar in the pot and cook until it melts (add water and sugar according to the number of mangoes)
4. Pour the boiled sugar water into the basin, and put the mango slices in the sugar water. The water is just over the mango. Seal the basin with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for about 8 hours
6. Take out the mangoes from the refrigerator, pour the mangoes into a basket to filter out the water, then put the mango slices in the refrigerator for an hour, and air dry the water
7. Take out the mango slices and place them neatly on the grid
8. Put it in the sun for 2 days, put it away in the refrigerator at night, until the surface shrinks and feels dry, and the dried mango is ready.

Problems in traditional mango drying process:

Sun-drying:
1.It occupies a large area and requires a large drying yard to meet mass production;
2.The labor intensity is high, and the material needs to be turned frequently under strong ultraviolet rays. More and more workers are no longer willing to engage in this work;
3. Poor sanitary conditions, unable to prevent the breeding of flies and insects;
4.The temperature and humidity are difficult to control, and the uniformity, color, and appearance of the product cannot be guaranteed;
5. With the increase in labor costs, the cost of this drying method has become higher and higher.

How to use a dryer to dry mangoes:

1. Material selection:
Choose mangoes with a small nucleus and thick flesh. The maturity of the mango is 8-9. If the maturity is too low, the color and flavor of the mango will be poor, and if it is overripe, it will be easy to rot.
2. Cleaning:
Wash the mangoes by hand or with a washing machine
3. Peel and slice:
The mango peel must be cleaned. If it is not cleaned, it is easy to brown during processing, which will affect the color of the finished product. The peeled fruit is sliced with a blade, and the thickness is about 8-10mm.
4. Color protection treatment:
Use the method of sulfur fumigation or sulfur leaching in the food requirements standard.
5. Dehydration:
Put the dried mangoes evenly after the color protection treatment on the drying rack (drain the water first if the sulfur is soaked)
6. Drying
The first stage: Set time 4H, temperature 45℃, humidity control at 65%.
Second stage: Set time 6H, temperature 55℃, humidity control at 42%.
The third stage: Set the time to 2H, the temperature is 62℃, and the humidity is controlled at 26%.
When the time is over, the dried mango can be guaranteed to be dried.
7. Back to soft packaging:
When the moisture content of the dried mango reaches about 15%-18%, put the dried mango into a closed container and let it soften for 2-3 hours so that the moisture content of each part is balanced, the texture is soft, and it is convenient for packaging.

Advantages of using a dryer to dry mangoes:

1. The drying process has low energy consumption and effectively reduces operating costs.
2. The drying process is well ventilated and heated evenly.
3. The microcomputer controls the corresponding parameters of mango drying, which can effectively solve the problems in the drying process.
4. The drying process is safe and reliable, and there is no danger of overheating or burning during the drying process.
5. The temperature and humidity are automatically controlled, with high accuracy and easy operation. Effectively avoid the phenomenon of no drying or excessive drying, reduce labor intensity, and reduce operating costs.

  If you want to dry mangoes in large quantities, it is recommended that you use a dryer to dry mangoes. Baixin Machinery is a manufacturer specializing in the production of dryers. It has 20 years of rich experience. For mango drying, it has professional drying equipment and mature drying technology to ensure the perfect drying effect.

  The most popular mango dryers of Baixin Machinery are heat pump dryers and continuous mesh belt dryers. I will introduce these two dryers in detail for you:

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

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