- Flexible Operation: It offers flexibility in drying various types of vegetables, from leafy greens to root vegetables, catering to diverse processing needs and product specifications.
- Hygienic Design: Designed with food safety in mind, the microwave dryer features sanitary construction materials and easy-to-clean surfaces, ensuring compliance with food safety standards
Technical principle of vegetable continuous microwave dryer
- Microwave Energy Absorption: Vegetables absorb microwave energy due to their high water content, causing molecular agitation and generating heat throughout the material.
- Uniform Heating: Microwave energy penetrates the vegetables uniformly, ensuring even heating and preventing localized hot spots, which can lead to uneven drying.
- Rapid Moisture Removal: The absorbed microwave energy causes water molecules within the vegetables to evaporate rapidly, facilitating quick moisture removal from the surface and interior.
- Dielectric Heating: Microwave energy induces dielectric heating within the vegetables, where polar molecules reorient themselves with the changing electric field, leading to frictional heating and moisture evaporation.
- Selective Heating: Microwave heating selectively targets water molecules, minimizing heat transfer to other components such as sugars, fibers, and nutrients, thus preserving the quality and nutritional content of the vegetables.
- Continuous Operation: The continuous microwave drying process allows for uninterrupted production, with a steady flow of vegetables through the dryer, ensuring efficient and consistent drying output
Features of continuous microwave dryer
- Continuous Operation: This type of dryer is designed for continuous processing of vegetables, allowing for a steady flow of material through the drying system without interruptions.
- Microwave Technology: Utilizes microwave radiation to rapidly heat and dry vegetables, offering faster drying times compared to conventional methods.
- Uniform Drying: Ensures consistent drying across all vegetable pieces, preventing uneven moisture content and ensuring uniform quality throughout the batch.
- Nutrient Preservation: The gentle drying process helps preserve the nutritional content of vegetables by minimizing heat exposure, resulting in dried products with retained vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
- Energy Efficiency: Microwave drying is known for its energy efficiency, as it requires less energy compared to conventional drying methods due to shorter processing times and targeted heating.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of vegetables, including leafy greens, root vegetables, and herbs, offering flexibility in processing various types of produce.
