Meat Drying Machine

Meat is an important part of our lives. Eating meat not only provides our body with protein, but also provides other rich nutrients. However, fresh meat generally has a short shelf life and is easy to rot. Drying meat into jerky can not only effectively improve the shelf life of the meat, but also increase the added value of the meat. Nowadays, nutritious and delicious jerky is more and more popular, and the market of jerky has great prospects. If you want to get into the business of producing jerky, you need a professional meat drying machine. So what are the meat drying machines, and how do we choose the meat drying machine that suits us? Next, Baixin Company, which has more than ten years of meat drying experience, will introduce you several energy-saving, environmentally friendly, efficient and easy-to-operate meat drying machines.

There are three kinds of meat drying machines we commonly use: heat pump meat drying room, all-in-one meat drying machine and mesh belt meat drying machine.

1. Meat drying room

The first type of drying is the meat drying room. The beef meat drying room is equipped with a trolley with trays and tray racks. When we dry the beef, we put the beef in the tray, on the tray rack of the cart, and push it into the beef drying chamber to dry. Beef are putted on the shelf car and enter the closed cycle drying room for drying without any pollution in the process. The heat source of the beef drying room is air. The air energy heat pump beef drying is efficient and stable, with strong temperature controllability, greatly improved drying efficiency and drying process, safe and reliable operation of the unit, and long service life. The corresponding heat pump unit can be matched arbitrarily according to the drying volume of the customer, and it can be customized according to the needs.

Components of heat pump meat drying room

One set heat pump meat drying room contains: heat pump drying host, drying chamber, fan frame with fan, trolley with tray. The drying chamber is used 100mm polyurethane insulation board, supporting 304 stainless steel trolleys and trays. The main structure of the beef drying room is divided into: heat pump drying dehumidifier, drying room, hot air circulation system, dehumidification system, automatic intelligent control system, and high-efficiency waste heat recovery dehumidification device.

The working principle of heat pump meat drying room

The heat pump meat drying room uses the reverse Carnot principle to let the hot air circulating blower dry the vegatable. Compressor and other equipment make up the refrigerant circulation system. The fan impeller rotates, the outside air enters the oven, passes through the heater, forms hot air, and then enters the studio through the gap of the air distribution plate, and a large amount of hot air in the circulating flow continues to enter the new air inlet for supplementation. The moisture discharged after recovery is discharged from the exhaust port. The whole cycle makes the vegatable heated evenly and achieves the purpose of drying.

The drying machine can be equipped according to the user's requirement and the production demands.

Advantages of heat pump meat drying room

1 Wide application. Suitable for vegetable, fruit, seafood, spice etc different kinds of material.
2 High drying capacity. Each hour can drying 3-4kg water.
3 Better drying effect. Can better keep material shape , color , nutrition etc.
4 Simple operating. PLC touch screen control panel , can set up temperature, humidity in advance  
5 Low energy consumption. Heat pump system, can save 70% energy.

Other application areas of heat pump meat drying room

Heat pumps meat drying machine can be used in many applications, in addition to drying beef can also be used in agriculture, industry, seafood, grain, herbal medicine, construction, paper products, condiments, mineral industry, etc.
1. Dried meats such as radish, lettuce, pumpkin, carrot, spinach, cassava, etc.
2. Fruits such as apples, lemons, mango slices, dried longan, dried longan, etc.
3. Dried meat such as sausage, beef, duck, ham, etc.
4. Others it can dry noodles/wooden/incense/herbs/floss etc.

2. All-in-one meat drying machine

The another one is the all-in-one meat drying machine. The drying principle is the same as that of the meat drying room. The all-in-one meat drying machine is equipped with a cart with trays and tray racks. When drying meats, we put them in trays, put them on the tray racks of the cart, and then push them into the meat drying chamber for drying.
The heat source of the meat integrated drying is air energy. The heat in the air is absorbed by the heat pump compressor. After compression and release, a large amount of high-temperature hot air can be obtained, so as to achieve continuous and uniform drying and processing of meats. The operation of this all-in-one drying unit is relatively simple, simply plug in and dry.

Components of all-in-one meat drying machine

One set all-in-one meat drying machine contains: power jack, water outlet,exhaust air outlet, supporting wheels, PLC controller pancl, door lock, observation window,circulating air inlet, outlet for hot and dry air, PP tray, stainless steel tray, supporting racks for trys. The meat all-in-one machine has compact structure, good energy-saving effect, wide application range, high drying quality, convenient operation, simple installation and disassembly. It is the best drying equipment for small businesses, drying experiments and scientific research. The user only needs to connect the power to use, it is the easiest to operate meat drying.

Advantages of all-in-one meat drying machine

1. Stainless steel 304 material. The whole machine uses stainless steel material, can work a long time, and keep better heat preservation, bottom have wheeler, can move easily.
2. Great energy saving. Heat pump system design, low energy consumption, can save 75% energy than traditional electricity element heating.
3. Wide application easy operation. Fit for wide application, seafood, fruit, meat, spice, herbs, etc all can use it to dry.
4. Gentle drying. Temperature range 40-80°C, low temperature dehydrate processing can better keep material nutrition, during drying, no need to move the machine.

The drying machine can be equipped according to the user's requirement and the production demands.

3. Mesh belt meat drying machine

And then let's take a look at the mesh belt meat drying machine with the largest output. Mesh belt meat drying machine have a wide range of heat sources such as coal heating, gas heating, steam heating, biomass pellet heating or electric heating. It is a multi-layer continuous drying structure. When drying meats, just put the meats in the feeding port, and the meats will enter the drying with the feeding conveyor for drying.
Meats are dried and dehydrated layer by layer from top to bottom. The drying speed is fast and the production efficiency is high, which is very suitable for the drying and processing of large quantities of meats.

Components of mesh belt meat drying machine

One set mesh belt meat drying machine contains: homogenizer, feeding conveyor,drying host, output conveyor, observation door, heat source, air intake system, control panel. The meat drying machine consists of 4 parts, namely the feed conveyor, the main machine of the mesh belt meat drying machine, the heat source and the discharge conveyor. The reformer provides heat, and the through-flow mesh belt meat drying is the main body of the drying equipment, which consists of a cabinet and multi-layer conveyor belts; the electrical control system controls the start, operation and stop of the entire equipment. With the cooperation of other auxiliary components, the drying equipment completes the drying and discharging process of food, and realizes the drying process of food drying. 

The working principle of mesh belt meat drying machine

Baixin mesh belt meat drying machine is a continuous production drying equipment. The main heating methods are electric heating, steam heating and hot air heating. Its main working principle is to distribute the material evenly in the network. Through the operation of the machine, the meat moves in the drying, and the hot air extracts the water vapor of the meat. So as to achieve the purpose of drying. The working temperature is 40-120 degrees Celsius. The drying cycle is 1-5 hours. Mainly used for agricultural and sideline products such as fruits and meats, Chinese herbal medicines, etc. The equipment is easy to operate, saves time, has a healthy drying process, and protects the environment.
