Ginger Slice Dryer

A ginger processing plant in Shandong faced three major challenges: low efficiency, high costs, and inconsistent quality. After introducing a 7-meter-long, 10-layer mesh belt dryer from Jinlu Machinery, they not only doubled their processing capacity but also effectively preserved the gingerol content.

1. Core Requirements for Ginger Slice Drying
Traditional ginger processing companies typically face the following difficulties:

Efficiency bottleneck: Difficulty achieving a daily processing capacity of over 20 tons.

Quality fluctuations: Traditional drying methods lead to gingerol loss and uneven color.

Cost pressure: High coal costs and significant environmental pressure.

Poor stability: Reliance on manual experience results in inconsistent product quality.

2. Innovative Drying Solution Design
The solution provided by Jinlu Machinery includes three core innovations:

Biomass Heat Source System

Uses clean, renewable biomass pellets as fuel.

Fuel costs are reduced by more than 30% compared to traditional coal.

Automatic combustion control for easy operation.

Intelligent Multi-layer Drying Structure

7-meter long x 2-meter wide, 10-layer design, with a drying area of ​​140 square meters.

Each layer can independently control temperature and airflow.

Fully automated conveying of ginger slices from feeding to discharge.

Precise Temperature Control

Low-temperature zone (approximately 60℃) for rapid removal of surface moisture.

Medium-temperature zone (70-75℃) to accelerate internal drying.

Homogenization zone to ensure consistent final moisture content.

3. Evaluation of Actual Application Results
The equipment achieved significant results after being put into use:

Significantly improved production efficiency

Drying time reduced from 20 hours to 8-10 hours.

Daily processing capacity of fresh ginger is consistently above 22 tons.

Labor costs reduced by approximately 50%.

Significantly improved product quality

Gingerol content is stable at 2.58%-2.65% (high-quality standard).

Finished product has a uniform golden color and good rehydration properties.

Secured long-term orders from several large food companies.

Very considerable economic benefits

Fuel costs per ton of fresh ginger dried reduced by 35%.

Overall drying costs reduced by approximately 30%.
