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...

1. Customer Background This Scrophularia drying project, through the innovative application of a gas-fired mesh belt dryer, overcame the industry challenges of low efficiency and inconsistent quality associated with traditional sun-drying methods. Based on the large-scale production needs of our Anhui customer, we customized a 30-meter long, 2.3-meter wide, 6-layer drying system, achieving a revolutionary efficiency improvement from the traditional 40-50 days to just 6 days. This solution utilizes staged temperature control technology, accurately simulating core processes such as “sweating,” not only increasing daily processing capacity to 8.5 tons but also maintaining the retention rate of the key active ingredient, harpagoside, at over 92%. 2. Customer Evaluation Mr. Tan from Anhui provided a professional evaluation from three perspectives: First, in terms of engineering adaptability, the equipment’s three-dimensional design increased the original factory’s production capacity by more than four times and fully met environmental protection requirements; second, in terms of process compliance, the equipment successfully achieved “continuous sweating,” with the finished product’s extract content reaching 68.5%, exceeding pharmacopoeia standards; third, in terms of economics, although the initial investment was high, the annual processing capacity was greatly increased, labor costs were reduced by 67%, and the investment is expected to be recovered...

In the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Cistanche deserticola, as an extremely precious medicinal herb, has always attracted much attention. Its unique growing environment imbues it with rich medicinal value. However, traditional drying methods easily lead to the loss of effective components during the drying process, and may also affect its original color and shape, thus reducing its market value. Therefore, exploring and applying advanced and scientific drying processes is crucial for the Cistanche deserticola industry.   Jinlu Machinery’s professional dryers have meticulously designed a two-stage drying process specifically for the characteristics of Cistanche deserticola. The first stage is a low-temperature color-fixing stage, where the temperature is precisely controlled at 60 degrees Celsius for 6 hours. During this process, the internal moisture of the Cistanche deserticola slowly evaporates, while perfectly locking in various nutrients, ensuring that the medicinal value of Cistanche deserticola is not compromised. The second stage then raises the temperature to 65 degrees Celsius and maintains it for 4 hours. This step is mainly to thoroughly dry the Cistanche deserticola, achieving the optimal degree of dryness for storage and subsequent processing. This meticulous drying process maximizes both the quality and medicinal efficacy of Cistanche deserticola.   Mr....

1.Project Background Mr. Xie from Hunan Province, leveraging the advantages of the region’s high-quality white radish production area, specializes in vegetable dehydration processing. Facing the challenges of high energy consumption, unstable quality, and significant environmental pressure associated with traditional coal-fired drying methods, the company introduced a 20-meter electrically heated multi-layer mesh belt dryer from Jinlu Machinery, creating a standardized white radish slice production line tailored to Hunan’s regional characteristics, achieving clean production and intelligent upgrades.   2.Locally Adapted Process Design   Raw Material Processing Optimization   High-quality white radishes from the Dongting Lake area are carefully selected and deeply cleaned using a locally developed Hunan-based bristle roller washing machine, effectively removing the sticky mud and sand deposited over the years and reducing surface damage.   A custom-designed slicing machine with Hunan-specific blades is used to ensure uniform radish slice thickness (3±0.5mm) and neat shape.   Intelligent Drying System Adaptation   Targeting the high humidity characteristics of Hunan’s “return to spring” weather and rainy season, the equipment features enhanced moisture-proof design and a dehumidification module.   Utilizing electric heating and intelligent PID temperature control, it sets gradient temperature zones tailored to the characteristics of Hunan white radishes:   Zone 1 (58℃)...

1.Client Background A large-scale traditional Chinese medicine processing enterprise, located in an agricultural production area with abundant surrounding biomass resources (such as straw and sawdust). With fluctuating global energy prices, the company urgently needs a stable heat source with lower operating costs and unaffected by rainy weather to further reduce the processing costs of Atractylodes macrocephala and enhance its market competitiveness.   2.Needs and Challenges   High Energy Costs: Although heat pumps are highly efficient, electricity costs remain considerable during periods of high electricity prices. Seeking Localized Energy: The company hopes to utilize abundant local agricultural waste resources to “turn waste into treasure” and reduce overall costs. Stability Requirements: A method is needed that is more environmentally friendly than coal-fired power, more economical than air-source heat pumps, and can provide a continuous and stable heat supply.   3. Solution A 9-meter three-layer mesh belt biomass pellet dryer was designed and installed for the client. The core technology utilizes a biomass pellet burner to provide stable hot air, achieving low-cost, large-scale continuous drying.   System Core and Drying Process:   Heat Source System: An automatic feeding biomass pellet burner is used, linked to the main drying unit, and can automatically start,...
