How to dry Chinese medicinal materials? Guoxin Machinery takes a shortcut. Drying Chinese medicinal materials has always been a hot topic. Because Chinese medicinal materials are relatively special, their medicinal properties must be preserved during drying to ensure they can be sold at a high price. Guoxin, a manufacturer of
Chinese medicinal material drying machines, understands this principle well. With nearly two decades of experience in drying Chinese medicinal materials, we have developed comprehensive drying solutions and expertise, providing you with a shortcut when drying Chinese medicinal materials.
The drying requirements for Chinese medicinal materials are very stringent. In particular, the medicinal properties of Chinese medicinal materials must be well preserved during the drying process. This requires precise control of parameters such as temperature, humidity, and drying time to achieve high-quality drying. Only through accumulated experience and experience can a comprehensive Chinese medicinal material drying process be developed. As a manufacturer specializing in drying equipment, Guoxin Machinery has nearly two decades of experience in Chinese medicinal material drying. Below, we will share a detailed description of the drying process:
1. Preheating Phase:
Evenly arrange the pre-treated Chinese medicinal materials on trays and place them in the drying room. Set the temperature to 35-40°C and dry for approximately half an hour.
2. Heating Phase
Set the temperature to 40-45°C. Depending on the type of medicinal material, the drying time can range from two to six hours. During this phase, attention should be paid to dehumidification to quickly remove moisture from the surface of the medicinal materials to prevent discoloration.
3. Dehumidification Stage
Control the temperature between 45°C and 50°C for 2 to 4 hours. During this stage, avoid excessive temperatures and humidity to prevent loss of the medicinal materials' value. Dehumidification must be carried out promptly.
4. Shaping Stage
When the medicinal materials have lost approximately 70% of their moisture, raise the temperature to above 55°C, but not exceeding 70°C, for 2 to 3 hours. Dry the materials until the moisture content drops below the desired 13%.
