After being sold, dried lychee fruit is a wonderful choice to eat as dried fruit or to create a soup with. The KINKAI lychee dryer’s structure is as follows:
1. Heat pump heating unit.
2. Insulation box device.
3. Hot air circulation device.
4. Automatic dehumidification device.
5. Intelligent control device.
The whole system of the host drying box is designed with stainless steel inner plate. The whole box is made of a thick polyurethane insulation layer, which has good thermal conductivity. The patented air distribution system was independently designed and developed, the airspeed and heat distribution in the drying room is uniform, and there is no dead angle when drying at 360 °C. time. The complete cycle is closed, and the heat is completely recovered, which can achieve zero heat loss in the drying process, and improve the energy utilization rate, which is 33% higher than the average level of the same industry.
In the lychee drying process, pay attention to the following steps:
place the lychee in the material frame, push it into the drying room, select the drying and dehumidification mode using the prompts on the lychee dryer’s intelligent PLC screen, and set the temperature, humidity, wind speed, and other data for segment control. The drying temperature and time change depending on whether it is finished or not. With just one button, you can set the temperature and the time. During the process, no manual care is necessary. It will automatically cease after it has dried.

The re-drying temperature is kept between 55 and 65 degrees Celsius, and the drying process takes about 28 to 32 hours. The drying temperature of the dehulled pulp is around 50 °C, the intelligent temperature and humidity control system is set up, and the equipment is automatically dried. A batch of drying takes around 15-20 hours to complete. Each batch can be cooked at 600-800 kgs 1000 kgs, or 2000 kgs, depending on the production capacity.
With the rapid growth of the agricultural product processing business, more and more models of large-scale production and processing of traditional agriculture have emerged to fuel people’s wealth.
