When choosing fruit and vegetable drying equipment, mango processing plants in Thailand need to comprehensively consider several points to ensure that the equipment can meet the needs of mango drying, and at the same time ensure the quality and production efficiency of products. Here are some key selection points:
I. Equipment Type and Heat Source Form
Hot air circulation type and heat pump type;
Hot air circulation: mango is dried by heating air and circulating continuously. The price is relatively low, but the drying time is long, and the drying effect may not be as good as that of heat pump.
Heat pump type: the water in mango is absorbed by heat pump technology, which has good drying effect and short time, but the price is higher.
Mango processing plants can choose the appropriate type according to the budget and drying efficiency requirements.
Heat source form:
Consider using electric energy, natural gas or biomass fuel as heat source, and choose according to local energy supply and cost-effectiveness.
Second, drying efficiency and capacity
Drying efficiency:
Select equipment with high drying efficiency to ensure the ideal drying effect in a short time, so as to improve production efficiency.
Equipment capacity:
According to the scale and drying demand of mango processing plant, choose the appropriate equipment capacity. Too large capacity may lead to energy waste, and too small capacity can not meet the production demand.
III. Materials and Hygienic Standards
Inner cavity and grid material:
Avoid using plastic materials, and choose materials such as corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean stainless steel to ensure that mangoes are not polluted during drying.
Sealing:
Choose equipment with good sealing performance to prevent dust and mosquitoes from entering and ensure the hygiene and safety of the drying environment.
Fourth, temperature and humidity control
Accurate temperature control:
The equipment should have an accurate temperature control system, which can adjust the temperature according to different stages of mango drying to achieve the best drying effect.
Humidity adjustment:
Humidity control is equally important for mango drying, so choose equipment with humidity adjustment function to ensure that the humidity of mango is moderate during drying.
V. Air duct design and drying uniformity
Air duct design:
Choose the equipment with 3D circulating air duct system to ensure that mango is heated evenly during drying, and avoid excessive or insufficient local drying.
Drying uniformity:
The drying uniformity of equipment is very important for the quality of dried mango. Select the equipment that has been strictly tested and verified to ensure the consistent drying effect.
VI. Energy Consumption and Environmental Protection
Energy efficiency ratio:
Select equipment with high energy efficiency ratio to reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
Environmental performance:
Considering the environmental protection performance of equipment, choose equipment that meets local environmental protection standards and regulations to reduce environmental pollution.
Seven, after-sales service and technical support
After-sales service:
Choose brands or suppliers that provide perfect after-sales service to ensure that problems in the use of equipment can be solved in time.
Technical support:
Considering the technical support ability of suppliers, select suppliers who can provide professional training and technical guidance to ensure the correct use and maintenance of equipment.
To sum up, when choosing the fruit and vegetable drying equipment, mango processing plants in Thailand need to comprehensively consider the equipment type, drying efficiency and capacity, materials and hygiene standards, temperature and humidity control, air duct design and drying uniformity, energy consumption and environmental protection, after-sales service and technical support. By comprehensively evaluating these factors, we can choose the most suitable equipment to ensure the quality and production efficiency of dried mango products.
