Chili dryers increase production and improve quality in the booming chili market!

2025-08-22


Chili peppers are now a staple on the dining table. With the expansion of chili market demand and rising consumption, improving yield and quality has become crucial for the development of the dried chili industry and a crucial factor in market survival.

Dried chili peppers are made by drying and dehydrating fresh chilies. Their low moisture content facilitates long-term preservation. Most chili farmers dry their chilies outdoors or in natural air. While this method achieves the desired drying effect, it is limited by natural conditions. Continuous rain can significantly impact the drying time of the chilies, accelerating rot and mold growth in a humid environment, resulting in economic losses.

Traditional chili drying methods result in long drying cycles, low yields, and uneven color. Furthermore, open-air drying can introduce contaminants into the chilies, making drying quality unreliable. With the continued expansion of the dried chili market and increasing quality requirements, traditional chili drying methods are no longer able to meet the market's demand for industrialization, scale, and high quality. The emergence of mesh belt chili dryers has revolutionized chili drying.

Mesh belt chili dryers offer fast drying speeds, high output, high efficiency, uniform drying, high quality, and are unrestricted by natural conditions. Furthermore, they precisely control the moisture content of the chili peppers. Typically, the moisture content of dried chili peppers is around 14%, neither too high nor too low. A high moisture content can easily lead to mold, while a low moisture content can easily cause the chili peppers to break. Depending on the material, the mesh belt's operating speed, air volume, temperature, and humidity can be adjusted appropriately to achieve moisture control.

Demand for both dried chili peppers and other chili products is enormous in the domestic market. With rising consumption, the quality of chili peppers needs to be further improved, and the added value of these products should be enhanced. Mesh belt chili dryers are playing an increasingly important role in both chili pepper yield and quality.
