Ginger slice drying case
Alice, the general manager of the Southeast Asian Organic Ginger Processing Plant, is mainly engaged in the business of organic ginger slices and ginger powder (exported to the European Union and Japan). Her original production mode was to use a simple shed for drying. However, there are also significant challenges involved. Firstly, drying depends on the weather, and it becomes very difficult to do so on rainy days. But the yield cannot be guaranteed, and the drying time is too long. The third is the high labor cost, which requires continuous manual flipping and drying during the drying process.
In response to customer needs and the characteristics of the Southeast Asian market, the Jinlu team has optimized the design from three aspects: precise temperature control, environmental compliance, and intelligence. ① Precise temperature control: The drying room adopts PLC LCD screen display, which can control temperature and humidity in 10 stages (with an accuracy of ± 5 ℃) to avoid ginger burning. It is equipped with a hot air circulation system, with a thermal efficiency of 85% and a 30% reduction in energy consumption compared to coal (under the condition of electricity price of 0.8 yuan/kWh). ② Environmental compliance: There is no combustion process during the drying process, zero carbon emissions, and meets the requirements of the European Union Carbon Tariff (CBAM); The material of the equipment tray is food grade 304 stainless steel, which has passed the EU EN 1672-5 hygiene certification Intelligent production management: PLC control+IoT remote monitoring, one click start, intelligent settings, automatic recording of production data, meeting the traceability requirements of EU organic certification.
After the equipment is put into operation, customers achieve a leap from traditional processing to modern production: Alice’s review: “Jinlu’s electric heating dryer completely solves our coal burning problem! The temperature control is precise to ± 5 ℃, and the burnt edge rate of ginger slices is greatly reduced. Our export unit price has increased by 15%! Previously, we had to flip the ginger slices 8 times a day, but now they are fully automated, saving labor costs by 35%. The most surprising thing is that the equipment comes with data traceability function, and customers particularly recognize our production transparency during factory inspections
Customer recognition is the biggest driving force on our journey forward. Jinlu is committed to serving customers, solving their pain points and problems, maximizing their economic benefits, and working together with Jinlu to achieve common prosperity!
