Mesh belt drying of peppers is a common drying method. It spreads the peppers evenly on the mesh belt and uses hot air to dry the peppers. Here are some tips to help you achieve better drying results:
1. Preparation: Before starting to dry, make sure the peppers have been washed and processed. Remove impurities, dead spots and leaves from peppers to ensure drying quality and hygiene.
2. Even distribution: Distribute the peppers evenly on the mesh belt to avoid overlap and accumulation. This ensures that the hot air can flow evenly through each pepper, allowing it to dry evenly.
3. Control the temperature: Set the appropriate drying temperature according to the variety and requirements of the peppers. Generally, the drying temperature of peppers should be controlled between 40°C and 60°C to avoid uneven drying or reduced quality of peppers caused by excessive temperatures.
4. Control the wind speed: Adjust the wind speed of the drying equipment to ensure that the hot air can fully cover the surface of the peppers and take away the moisture on the peppers. Appropriate wind speed can improve drying efficiency, but too high a wind speed may cause the surface of the peppers to dry too quickly, and the internal moisture cannot fully evaporate.
5. Monitor the degree of drying: Check the degree of drying of peppers regularly. When the peppers are completely dry, they should be even and crispy in appearance. You can perform a hand test to ensure there is no obvious wet feeling.
6. Storage and packaging: After drying is completed, cool the peppers completely and store them in a dry, ventilated and cool place. If long-term storage is required, place the peppers in airtight containers or bags to preserve their dryness and freshness.
Please note that specific tips may vary depending on the model of drying equipment and the variety of peppers. It is recommended to refer to the operating guide of the device and make adjustments and optimizations according to the actual situation.
