Chili Pepper Dryer: Factors Affecting Chili Pepper Drying Yield

2025-08-28


Drying is a crucial step in the chili pepper processing industry. The chosen drying method not only affects the quality of the dried chilies but also directly impacts the drying yield.

For currently popular chili pepper dryer, factors that influence drying yield include front-end processing, intelligent control systems, and drying processes. Let's take a brief look.

Front-end processing includes cleaning, slicing, air-drying, and perforating. Generally, chilies require preliminary cleaning before drying to remove surface moisture and prevent steaming during the drying process.

Slicing before drying can reduce the drying time by more than half, thereby doubling the yield. This method is particularly suitable for making chili peels and is commonly used in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.

For smaller varieties of peppers, such as chili peppers and bell peppers, direct drying is recommended. Perforating before drying can increase yield by over 30%. Users can customize the configuration to meet their specific needs.

The proper use of the equipment's intelligent temperature and humidity control system can also ensure the chili dryer's maximum yield. This intelligent control system accurately controls parameters such as the temperature and drying time required for the chili peppers.

This allows for a reasonable budget for the desired chili pepper yield, accurately calculating the temperature, the number of chilies to be dried, and the required drying time. This ensures efficient operation of the equipment and the desired chili dryer output.

The drying process also plays a crucial role in chili pepper yield. Each chili variety varies in terms of surface wax thickness, internal moisture content, and customer-specific drying requirements.

This requires specialized drying processes, along with appropriate configuration and calculations, before commencing the drying process to ensure drying quality and stable yield.
