Moringa leaf dryers
The Moringa leaf dryer is an ideal drying equipment for drying herbaceous plants. The dryer is used for drying materials with a lot of moisture.
Dried moringa leaves are of great medicinal importance in extracting nutrients from them. 100 g of dried leaves contains about 16,2 mg of vitamin E. Thus, a drying machine plays a very important role as a pre-processing machine in a leaf processing line.
Dryer components:
Feed conveyor (fresh raw material enters the dryer via the conveyor)
Exhaust conveyor (used to transport dried raw materials)
Drying area (raw material is loaded on the drying main conveyor belt and moves forward from the top layer to the bottom layer)
Fan (sufficient air in the dryer to improve drying efficiency)
Heat exchanger oven (supplying heat to the dryer)
Control panel (control speed and temperature)
Fuel: wood, biomass, gas, diesel, propane, steam, electricity.
Dryer working principles:
Fresh raw material is transported inside the dryer by a conveyor. The raw material passes from the first layer to the last layer through the conveyor belt, and the dried raw material is transferred by the exhaust conveyor. The dryer uses hot air as the drying medium. Hot air passes through the raw material from the bottom up. Moisture escapes through the top of the dryer. The dryer not only uses heat but also a strong air flow. It increases drying efficiency and shortens drying time.
