Mr. Jiang from Fujian runs a well-known processing company specializing in high-quality exported dried shrimp. With the continued growth of their order volume, the client’s existing drying equipment was experiencing low efficiency, high energy consumption, and uneven color in the finished product, severely hindering their capacity expansion and brand upgrade plans. They urgently needed a new solution that could achieve scalable, standardized, and high-quality production.   Jinlu Machinery’s Solution: After an in-depth inspection of the client’s workshop and analysis of their production processes, Jinlu Machinery customized a complete drying system solution. The core equipment consists of one: Customized Model: 8m x 2.3m x 5-layer Steam Mesh Belt Dryer Precise Integrated Pre-treatment: We recommended that the client rapidly cool the dried shrimp after cleaning and blanching to ensure they are in optimal condition before entering the drying process. Revolutionary “1-Hour Drying Line”: The cooled dried shrimp are evenly spread onto this five-layer mesh belt. The equipment utilizes steam heat and our uniquely designed intelligent temperature and humidity control system to provide the optimal drying environment for the shrimp within the 8-meter-long drying chamber. Hot air evenly penetrates the material on each layer of the mesh belt, ensuring the dried shrimp complete...

1.Project Background   The client is a medium-sized agricultural cooperative in Kano State, northern Nigeria. This region is a major wheat-producing area in Nigeria, but the cooperative members have long faced a severe challenge: the wheat harvest coincides with the end of the rainy season. High humidity makes traditional drying methods extremely inefficient and easily leads to wheat mold and sprouting, resulting in significant post-harvest losses. According to Ola, the cooperative’s head, their wheat losses have previously been as high as 15%-20% due to untimely drying. This not only directly impacts farmers’ income but also hinders the cooperative’s expansion and reproduction. They urgently need an efficient, cost-effective drying solution that adapts to local conditions.   2.Client Requirements   Efficient drying and loss reduction: The solution must be able to quickly reduce high-moisture wheat to safe storage standards (below 13%) to prevent mold.   Fuel adaptability: Nigeria’s electricity supply is unstable, but coal and firewood are relatively abundant and inexpensive. The equipment must be able to reliably operate on both fuels.   Mobility and Flexibility: The cooperative’s service area covers multiple villages, requiring equipment that can be easily moved to different drying yards or warehouses to reduce grain transportation costs.  ...

1.Customer Needs   As a major local Chinese medicinal material processing company, the Shandong client has seen its Solanum nigrum processing scale continue to expand in recent years. Traditional air-drying and simple drying equipment are no longer able to meet production needs.   As a highly medicinal herb containing a variety of alkaloids and vitamins, Solanum nigrum places extremely stringent drying requirements. Excessively high temperatures destroy the active ingredients, while excessively low temperatures prevent adequate drying, leading to mold.   The client’s Solanum nigrum yield was significantly insufficient due to continuous rainy weather. Furthermore, the client was highly concerned about energy costs. Traditional coal-fired drying equipment consumes a lot of energy and does not meet environmental standards. The client urgently needed a new, energy-saving and environmentally friendly drying solution.   2.Jinlu Customization   To meet the client’s specific needs, Jinlu Machinery assembled a professional technical team and conducted in-depth on-site research at the client’s production site, ultimately selecting a 20-meter-long, 3-meter-wide, 7-layer biomass pellet mesh belt dryer.   This unconventional design is not simply a scale-up, but is based on in-depth research into the physical properties and drying process of Solanum nigrum. The seven-layer structure enables cascaded heat utilization, significantly...

In Guangxi, a major production area for star anise, known as the “King of Spices,” drying is a crucial step that determines the quality and value of the product. Traditional sun-drying methods are highly weather-dependent, inefficient, and prone to producing discolored or moldy fruit, severely impacting farmers’ income. Recently, a large-scale, 12-meter long x 2.3-meter wide, 6-layer biomass pellet belt dryer, custom-designed by Jinlu Machinery for a leading spice processing company in Guangxi, officially went into operation.  With its superior performance and stable operation, it has become the “ace in the hole” for the client, helping them increase production capacity and ensure product quality.   1.Customer Needs This client is a large-scale star anise purchasing and processing company. With the increasing demand for high-quality star anise in the market, their existing drying equipment faced significant challenges: Insufficient Capacity: Small dryers could not meet the large-scale processing needs during the peak harvest season, resulting in long processing times and affecting market supply. High Energy Costs: Using traditional coal-fired or electric heating methods resulted in high drying costs, squeezing profit margins. Inconsistent Quality: Uneven heat distribution led to inconsistent drying results, with some batches being over-dried or under-dried, affecting the selling price....

1.Customer Needs Xinjiang, an important agricultural production base in my country, boasts extensive pumpkin seed cultivation areas, with high-quality varieties such as melon seeds and sunflower seeds. In recent years, with the continuous growth in consumer demand for nuts, the pumpkin seed processing industry in Xinjiang has entered a period of rapid development.   “Previously, we mainly used traditional sun-drying methods, which were heavily affected by weather conditions, making it difficult to guarantee hygiene standards and unable to meet the needs of large-scale, standardized production,” said an executive from a local pumpkin seed processing factory. The traditional sun-drying method was not only inefficient but also failed to guarantee hygiene standards and consistent quality, becoming a bottleneck for industry development.   At the same time, market demand for pumpkin seed products has become more diversified and focused on higher quality. Consumers not only care about taste but also prioritize product hygiene, safety, and nutritional value. These changes require pumpkin seed processing companies to introduce advanced drying equipment to achieve standardized and large-scale production.   2.Customized Solution To meet these new market demands, Henan Jinlu Machinery Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. customized a 17-meter mesh belt dryer for its Xinjiang client. This equipment...
