Spice Drying Machine

Spices have always been loved by people, but in general, spices are dried and then sold. This is because the dried spices not only retain the original fragrance of the spice, but also have a much longer storage time than fresh spices. Next, Baixin Machinery will share with you several kinds of spice drying machines commonly used by spice producers.

The common type of spice drying on the market has continuous mesh belt spices drying machine, microwave spices drying machine, heat pump spices drying room and all-in-one spices drying machine, below are information about these spice drying machines.

1.Continuous Mesh Belt Spices Drying Machine

The first is continuous mesh belt spices drying machine. It can achieve continuous production, and the output can reach 300-2000kg/h. The main heating methods are electric heating, steam heating, hot air heating, the heat source can be coal, wood chips, natural gas, diesel, propane, electricity, etc.

Components of Continuous Mesh Belt Spices Drying Machine

The components of this continuous mesh belt spices drying machine include: Homogenizer, Feeder Conveyor, Mesh belt spices drying host, Heat source,Air Intake System, Control panel, Observation door, Output conveyor.

Working Principle of Continuous Mesh Belt Spices Drying Machine

Its main working principle is to spread the material evenly in the network. The material is moved in the drying by the operation of the machine, and the hot air draws out the water vapor of the spices. so as to achieve the purpose of drying. The operation temperature is 40-120 degree centigrade. And the dry cycle is 1-5 hours.

Advantages of Continuous Mesh Belt Spices Drying Machine

Its advantage is that the speed of drying spices is relatively fast, and it can work continuously and uninterruptedly, so as to achieve large-scale production. Other than that, it's very flexible, it's easy or without installation, so you don't have to worry about installation.

2.Microwave Spices Drying Machine

This one is microwave spices drying machine. Its output is 100-2000kg/h. The drying time is 2-5min.

Components of Microwave Spices Drying Machine

The microwave spices drying machine mainly has six components,Microwave Chamber, Water Tower, PLC Control Panel, Feeding Part, Conveyor, Monitoring Window.

Working Principle of Microwave Spices Drying Machine

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves at a frequency of 300 MHz to 300 GHz.The material in the heating medium in the molecules of water is a polar molecule. It is the rapidly changing under high-frequency magnetic field, its polarity orientation will be with the change of external electric field changes, resulting in molecular motion and friction between the effect, this field of the microwave field can be transformed into thermal energy within the medium, the temperature of the material increased, heating and puffing a series of physical and chemical processes, to achieve the purpose of microwave heating and drying. During the equipment is working the microwave generator produces the microwave. The materials enter into the heating chamber by conveyor. At this time, moisture and bacteria inside the material evaporate under the action of microwave energy to achieve unfreeze sterilization ripening fixing drying purpose.

Advantages of Microwave Spices Drying Machine

1:Fast processing efficiency:
It takes about a few minutes to complete the process from feeding to discharging. The processing efficiency is fast and the effect is good。
2:Uniform drying effect。
The microwave drying can make all parts of the material have the same effect.
3:Drying and sterilizing simultaneously, tunnel type design, cover small area, continuous production，
4:Clean and sanitary: it will not pollute the material, nor change the color, fragrance, and nutritional content of the material.

3.Heat Pump Spices Drying Room

This is heat pump spices drying room. Its output is 100-5000kg/batch, and the heat source can be electricity, coal, wood chips, natural gas, diesel oil, and propane, etc.

Working Principle of Heat Pump Spices Drying Room

It adopts the principle of reverse Carnot cycle. It absorbs low-temperature heat energy in the air, and becomes high-temperature heat energy after efficient heat collection and integration of the heat pump system, which is transported to the drying room to circulate heating and drying the spices, and the hot and humid air in the drying room is directly discharged to the outside of the drying room through the dehumidifier.

Components of Heat Pump Spices Drying Room

The components of this heat pump spices drying room include: Heat Pump, Trolley Tray, Fan Frame with Fan(Axial Compressor Fan), Drying Room Parts.

Advantages of Heat Pump Spices Drying Room

The advantage of this heat pump spices drying room is that it can quickly remove the water in the spices without affecting the original color, shape and nutrient content of the spices. The spices heat pump drying room is equipped with a computer control system, which can realize automatic temperature control. The drying temperature range of the heat pump drying is 20-80°C. It has the advantages of strong drying capacity, better drying effect, simple operation, and 70% energy saving by adopting a heat pump system.

4.All-in-one Spices Drying Machine

This all-in-one spices drying machine has a smaller output among the four spices drying machines. Its output is 100-1500kg/batch. The heat source is mainly electricity, and it can also be coal, wood chips, natural gas, etc.

Working Principle of All-in-one Spices Drying Machine

Drying is take moisture away. But takes away the moisture temperature is not the most critical factor. The key for drying is depending on relative humidity within certain space, Baixin company took advantage of the dry essence, originality developed a“Closed Cycle" drying, changed the traditional heat pump drying "bake" to “dehumidifier”.

Components of All-in-one Spices Drying Machine

The components of this all-in-one spices drying machine include:Power jack, Water outlet, Exhaust air outlet, Supporting wheels, Controller(PLC control panel), Door lock, Observation window, Circulating Air Inlet, Outlet for hot and dry air, PP tray, Stainless steel tray, Supporting racks for trays.

Advantages of All-in-one Spices Drying Machine

The new drying machine All-in-One spices drying machine has a compact structure, great energy-saving, wide application, high drying quality, easy operation, simple installation, and movable. It is the best drying equipment for small firms, drying experiments, and scientific research. The uses only connect the power to use, is the easiest operation heat pump spices drying machine. Hot air only circulates inside and no energy is lost. The energy-saving is incomparable to traditional drying machines. Gentle drying at middle and low temperature, Aroma, appearance, and bioactivity are largely retained.

Spices Drying Machine Price

Regarding the price of these spices drying machines, first of all, the spices drying equipment is a customized machine. Different manufacturers have different production technologies and drying levels. The performance, efficiency, and configuration of the spices drying equipment produced are different, so the price will naturally vary greatly.
The price of the commonly used spices drying room is about 3,500-50,000 US dollars, and the price of the spices mesh belt drying machine is about 30,000-100,000 US dollars. In addition to the basic equipment models, customized processing can also be carried out and quotes.

The above are the most common spice drying machines on the market. They each have their own advantages and are suitable for drying various spices. In addition, our spices drying machines can be customized according to customer needs. If you are interested in our spices drying machines, please feel free to contact us.
