All-in-one closed-loop cabinet Food Dehydrators

Description

Drying essence is to take moisture away, but this is not the most critical factor. The key for drying depends on relative humidity within a certain space, the “Heat Pump Closed Cycle Food Dehydrator” has several advantages over traditional drying machines that use open-loop drying this refers to the process that exposes the material to the air uses heat to vaporize water and finally releases the vapor into the air. Generally speaking except for drying by sun and air all other open-loop drying methods require the building of a drying house as well as the large consumption of electricity. The procedure is as follows. First, cold air is heated manually and then used to warm up the material. After the hot air with some vaporized water inside the material is discharged from the outlet into the air. This traditional drying method has the following disadvantages.

1. Most of the discharge is hot air and only some of it is moisture. Both are precious energies but are wasted in this process. Therefore this traditional drying method means a huge loss of energy low efficiency and high energy cost.
2. It costs a large amount of energy to warm up cold air. This energy usage is even greater at lower temperatures and higher humidities. Due to higher humidity in the drying house, it requires a higher temperature to achieve the same drying effect. However, a high temperature may cause damage to the quality of the material especially for agricultural produce and aquatic products.
3.  In order to maintain the temperature in the drying house, it is necessary to reduce the amount of air intake. This causes greater humidity which in turn will slow down the drying process. Moreover, it is more difficult for the air to reach the whole drying house and achieve uniform drying effects.
4. At the beginning of drying, there is a film of water on the surface of the material that can easily cause mold to grow especially if the surface area is large. The drying house becomes filled with moisture and is often more humid in the upper half than the lower half. When the moisture in the upper half reaches the top of the drying house it becomes water and drips back to the material closer to the top. This makes drying difficult and un-even causing the material to easily deteriorate.
5. The active ingredients of some materials might get vaporized during the drying process which lowers their quality.
6. When the cold air is brought in it is inevitable for the machine to bring some other irritants like dust and insects into the material. Because of this, it is impossible to maintain a very sanitary condition. In order to achieve more uniform drying workers, are required to flip over the material. This practice increases labor costs and might cause damage to the appearance of the material. Drying is necessary anywhere, but it is especially useful for fields such as planting, farming, hotel, management, and wood industry, all of which have infinitely broad markets. However traditional drying technologies are lower in quality and thus cannot guarantee a good drying effect. Every year 20% of agricultural products were lost due to poor drying.

The IKE closed-loop dehumidification heat pump dryer is built into the sealed and heat-preserved drying house from whose bottom the air is released and is returned to the upper part. The air then runs through the cold chips of 5 degrees Celsius to get cooler. The moisture in the air will be condensed into drops of water and collected by a dish below and discharged from the house through a water pipe. After dehydration, the air will run through the hot chips of 90 degrees celsius turn to the dry and hot air of 60 degrees Celsius, and penetrate through the material heating it up. This will release water from the material which evaporates into the humid hot air and then is taken back into the dryer again. Eventually, the steam will be condensed onto the cold chips of 5 degrees Celsius and then discharged out of the drying house. The whole process will begin again and will repeat until the material is thoroughly dried. In the above process heat energy is circulated within the drying house taken in by cold chips and released out from hot chips without any loss of heat. Therefore it is highly efficient and completely immune from the impact of external temperature and humidity. The unique and creative design of the closed-loop dehumidification heat pump dryer has completely solved all of the problems associated with the traditional open-loop dryers. In addition, it also features the following distinct advantages.

1. 100% in-house energy recycled high efficiency and low energy costs. For instance, one kilowatt-hour of electricity can dehydrate over 3 kilograms of water and can easily dry 5 to 10 kilograms worth of agricultural products.
2. The sealed closed-loop offers protection from the effects of outside temperature and humidity so that the dryer can operate in any season and location with the same product efficiency and energy-saving.
3. Thanks to the dehumidification drying technology the dryer does not depend on the surrounding temperature and humidity. It can achieve a fast and good drying effect even at low temperatures. The drying temperature inside the drying house could be set at any one below 75 degrees Celsius and the drying humidity could be set at any one between 10% and 99%. This will help achieve constant temperature and humidity drying and keep drying quality as good as possible.
4. A completely sealed drying house allows airflow to be controlled at will so that there will be no dead spot without blowing air and the drying is guaranteed to be even.
5. Extremely dry house and strong airflow inside the house make it impossible for a water film to form on the surface of the material. Even large products like betel nuts and sea fish will never get moldy and can be dried ideally.
6. Active ingredients will never be lost in the drying process so that the quality and grade of the product are guaranteed to maintain (especially for herbs and flower tea).
7. Outdoor irritants can never get in the drying house helping it to maintain the highest sanitary condition.
8. Strong airflow convection guarantees even drying. No manual flipping is needed.
9. All-in-one design makes installation extremely easy.
10. Programmable operation system achieves artificial intelligence control and no demands on a human on duty.
