How does the mesh belt dryer function in drying chili peppers?

The mesh belt dryer effectively dries chili peppers using the following process:

1.Preparation of chili peppers: The peppers are carefully washed and sorted, then sliced into thin pieces to increase their surface area for faster drying.

2.Loading the peppers onto the mesh belt: The sliced chili peppers are placed onto a stainless steel wire mesh belt. The belt is driven by a motorized conveyor system, moving the peppers through the drying chamber.

3.Drying process: The drying chamber is heated by a chosen heat source, such as natural gas or electricity. A blower circulates hot air throughout the chamber, passing over the chili peppers on the mesh belt. This removes moisture from the peppers, and the humid air is expelled from the chamber.

4.Cooling process: Once the chili peppers are dry, they are transferred to a cooling section within the mesh belt dryer. Here, the temperature is lowered to prevent brittleness and preserve flavor.

5.Unloading the chili peppers: The dried chili peppers are then removed from the mesh belt and can be stored for future use.

In summary, the mesh belt dryer provides an efficient and effective solution for drying chili peppers. Its continuous operation ensures large quantities of peppers can be processed quickly. Precise control of temperature and humidity in the drying chamber guarantees consistent and high-quality drying results.
