Air dryers
Air dryers operate on the basis of air circulation and controlled temperature. The advantages of air dryers are their simplicity and versatility. This type of dryer is suitable for processing large volumes of berries and ensures even drying.
Advantages of air drying:
Even drying thanks to efficient air circulation.
Low drying temperatures preserve product quality and flavor.
The use of an air drying chamber:
Vacuum dryers (sublimation):
Freeze dryers create a vacuum space that reduces pressure and speeds up the drying process. The advantage of vacuum dryers is their ability to retain more vitamins and flavors because the process takes place at a lower temperature.
Advantages of vacuum (freeze-drying):
Fast drying process at low temperatures.
The use of freeze-drying:
Drying of medicinal herbs, berries and plants in the pharmaceutical industry.
Microwave dryers:
Microwave dryers use electromagnetic waves to heat the water inside the berry, causing it to evaporate. This method ensures fast and even drying, minimizing nutrient loss and preserving the bright color of the berry.
Advantages of microwave drying:
Preservation of product color and texture.
The use of microwave equipment:
Drying of agricultural products and medicinal herbs.
Infrared dryers:
Infrared dryers use infrared radiation to heat the berry. This method ensures even drying and is an effective way to preserve color and flavor. Infrared dryers are suitable for processing small batches of berries.
Advantages of infrared drying:
Effective preservation of flavor and color.
The use of infrared cameras for drying:
