1. Chili Pepper Characteristics and Variety: The primary factors influencing chili pepper drying performance are the chili pepper's characteristics and variety, its moisture content, and the time it was harvested. Even the drying period itself can lead to varying drying results. Chili peppers have a cuticle that hinders the evaporation of water. Different chili pepper varieties also have varying dehydration rates and efficiencies.

2. Chili Pepper Drying Process: Chili pepper drying processes vary significantly between manufacturers. Because chili pepper drying equipment is custom-made and lacks a standardized manufacturing method or standard, it is generally developed and manufactured independently. The quality of purchased chili pepper drying equipment can vary depending on the manufacturer's R&D and production capabilities, research expertise, and drying technology. During the chili drying process, factors such as the temperature profile, drying temperature, drying speed, and internal equipment structure all play a decisive role in determining the drying performance.
3. Chili Drying Time: Different chili dryers have different drying times. Different air supply methods, air volumes, exhaust temperatures, and control temperatures all significantly impact the drying time, quality, and color of the dried chilies. Drying times also vary depending on the characteristics and variety of the chilies, generally ranging from a dozen to more than twenty hours. When drying chilies, consider both drying speed and the quality and color of the dried chilies.
