Onion dryer machine/onion dryer/onion dryer machine price

Onion is a multifunctional health food. It is native to central and West Asia. There are many different varieties of onions, which are used in food all over the world. It is rich in a variety of nutrients and is very popular. Drying onions can effectively improve the shelf life of onions and facilitate transportation. 

Therefore, onion dryer machinery is extremely important. So what are the current onion dryers? How to choose a suitable onion dryer? The onion dryers used are also different according to the output of onion and the needs of customers. Onion dryers are generally divided into three types: onion drying rooms, mesh belt onion dryers and onion all-in-one machines. Next, I will share these three onion dryers for you.

Onion dryer room

If we use the onion drying oven, the equipment is equipped with a small cart with a tray and a tray rack. When we dry the onion, we lay the onion in the tray, put it on the tray rack of the cart, and then push it into the onion drying room for drying. 
The heat source of the onion drying room is air. 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 realize the continuous and uniform drying and processing of onion. 

Components of onion drying machine

One set onion drying machine 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.

Advantages of drying machine

1 Wide application. Suitable for vegetable, fruit, seafood, spice etc different kinds of material.
2 High drying capacity. Each hour can dehydration 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.

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

Mesh belt onion dryer

Next, I will introduce you to the mesh belt onion dryer. 
This equipment has 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 the onion, we only need to put the onion slices at the feed inlet, and the onion slices will enter the dryer along with the feeding conveyor for drying.
The onions are dried and dehydrated layer by layer from top to bottom. The drying speed is fast and the production efficiency is high. It is very suitable for the drying and processing of large quantities of onions.

Components of mesh belt onion drying machine

One set mesh belt onion drying machine contains: homogenizer, feeding conveyor,dryer host, output conveyor, observation door, heat source, air intake system, control panel.

						coal/wood chips	36.12kw
						steam	25.62kw

3. All-in-one dryer machine

Its drying principle is the same as that of the onion dryer room. If we use the onion all-in-one dryer machine, the machine is equipped with a trolley with tray and tray rack. When drying onion, we put it in a tray, put it on the tray rack of the cart, and then push it into the onion drying room for drying. The heat source of onion all-in-one dryer is air. 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 realize the continuous and uniform drying and processing of onion.
The operation of this all-in-one drying equipment is relatively simple, and drying can be carried out only by plugging in the power supply.

Advantages of onion all-in-one dryer

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, vegetable, 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.

Onion drying machine price

First of all, the onion dryer equipment is a customized machine. Different manufacturers have different production technologies and drying levels. The performance, efficiency and configuration of the onion dryer equipment produced are different, so the price naturally varies greatly.
Generally, the price of the commonly used onion dryer is about 3,500-50,000USD, and the price of the onion mesh belt dryer is about 30,000-100,000USD. In addition to the basic equipment model, customized processing can also be carried out, and the price needs to be calculated and quoted separately.

How to choose a suitable onion dryer

Having learned about the above three kinds of onion dryers, let me introduce you how to choose a onion dryer suitable for you.
First of all, it depends on our demand for onion processing. For large output, use a onion mesh belt dryer. Generally, the output of a onion mesh belt dryer is 300-2000kg/h. For small output, the output of a heat pump onion dryer is 100-5000kg/batch. The output of all-in-one onion dryer is the smallest, only 100-1500kg per batch. It is suitable for agricultural plants or small processing plants. Oven length and mesh belt layers can be customized. We can choose and match them reasonably according to our own processing requirements.
These are the three kinds of onion drying equipment explained by Baixin drying machinery company for you. Do you want to start a onion business? If you want to know more professional questions about onion drying machine, please feel free to contact us online!
