Vegetable Dehydration

Vegetables play an important role in our daily diet. Eating vegetables regularly can enhance our immunity and resist aging. However, fresh vegetables have a short shelf life, and in rainy weather, the vegetables may rot. Therefore, drying vegetables is not only good for preservation, but also provides more options for cooking methods. Recently, with the improvement of people's living standards, more attention is paid to the quality of vegetables, some dried vegetables have entered the market and are deeply loved by people. The price of dried vegetables is much higher than that of fresh vegetables, and the added value of vegetables has been improved. SO how to dehydration vegetable?

Generally, there are two ways to dehydration vegetables, one is to dehydration in the sun, and the other is to use professional dehydration vegetable. However, sunlight drying is easily affected by the weather, and the dried vegetables are easily polluted. Therefore, many companies will choose dehydrators to dehydration vegetables. It can be dried on cloudy and rainy days, without affecting the output, the site is orderly, there is no pollution in the process, and the drying time is greatly shortened.

When we dry the vegetables, we put the vegetables in the tray, on the tray rack of the cart, and push it into the vegetable drying chamber to dry. Vegetables are putted on the shelf car and enter the closed cycle dehydration room for drying without any pollution in the process. The heat source of the vegetable dehydration room is air. The heat in the air is absorbed by the heat pump compressor. After being compressed and released, a large amount of high-temperature hot air can be obtained, so as to achieve uniform drying and processing of vegetables.

The working principle of vegetable dehydration room

The heat pump vegetable dehydration room uses the reverse Carnot principle to let the hot air circulating blower dehydrate the vegetable. 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 vegetablel heated evenly and achieves the purpose of drying.
Determine different temperature, time, color and moisture content during drying according to different varieties. It is better for the vegetable dehydration machine to use the air energy heat pump drying system, and the heating of the air energy is a slow increase, which is more reasonable for the drying of vegetables, and can maintain the original tissue fibers and nutrients of the vegetables, and through the compressed air , The whole process of extracting air heat energy does not contain harmful substances, and it is also more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
