The traditional drying method for honeysuckle is to bake it in a clay oven, which has problems such as uneven quality, low drying efficiency, and difficult temperature control, gradually becoming unsuitable for gold and silver The large-scale, intensive, modern, and seasonal development of the flower industry cannot adapt to the high-quality and fast-paced modern life. Chinese herbal medicine processing enterprises With the development of mechanization, automation, and scientific research information technology, automated and intelligent high-temperature heat pump dryers have become a hot commodity for drying and processing enterprises. Air source heat pump drying equipment is a fully automated mechanized type that meets the needs of modern society and changes the traditional outdated manual waiting for wood, coal, flipping, temperature measurement, and humidity measurement drying methods. It is a cost-effective dryer that is carefully designed and improved based on well functioning dryers in the current market, combined with theory and practice, and can ensure the drying of materials“ Honeysuckle” The product has a natural green color, a full shape, and does not lose its medicinal and nutritional components. It is fuller, better in color, and has a higher selling price than products dried after withering. Compared to traditional drying and air drying methods, heat pump dryers can control temperature and humidity, have a high degree of automation, and do not require dedicated supervision.

  1. Firstly, the size of the drying room should be determined based on the planting area, usually every667 square metersHoneysuckle requires a drying room3 square meters, the drying room is generally a thermal insulation drying room made of foam sandwich panels.

  & nbsp; & nbsp; According to the performance of our company's equipment, a single 10 horsepower unit comes standard with a drying room of about 30 cubic meters. The general external dimensions are 5mX3mX2m (length 4.8 meters, width 3 meters, height 2.2 meters), and then the grill is made according to the indoor area. Each floor should leave enough space for the wind to circulate.

  & nbsp; & nbsp; In order to ensure the rapid drying and drying quality of honeysuckle, a static pressure chamber should be installed in the drying room to make the air flow more balanced, and the return air should be designed in the center of the top of the drying room to make the hot air flow more uniform and smooth.

4. When starting the drying process, the temperature should be controlled at 30-35 ℃; Raise the temperature to around 40 ℃ after 2 hours; After 5-10 hours, the temperature is raised to 45-50 ℃ and maintained for 10 hours; The temperature should be raised to 55-58 ℃, not exceeding 60 ℃, and the total drying time should be 24 hours. If the temperature is too high and the drying is too fast, the flower buds will turn black and the quality will decrease; If the temperature is too low and the drying time is too long, the color will not be fresh and will turn yellow white, which also affects the quality. On cloudy and rainy days, it is necessary to dry at a low temperature. First, dry at a low temperature of 35 ℃ -40 ℃ for 2-3 hours, and then raise the temperature to 50 ℃ to dry 90% without damage. Generally, 6-7 kilograms of fresh flowers and 1 kilogram of dried goods.

5. The standard for drying is: make a sound when pinched, crush immediately when crushed.

  & nbsp; & nbsp; 6. Whether it is sun drying or drying, do not touch or flip the flower buds with your hands before they dry, otherwise the buds will turn black, reduce quality, and affect sales.

The entire drying process is controlled by a microcomputer. The air source heat pump drying equipment adopts balanced dehydration technology to ensure Maintain consistent internal and external dehydration of the material, allowing it to dehydrate at an equilibrium temperature and achieve a similar yield rate99.95%; The air source high-temperature heat pump dryer adopts a scientific baking curve and dehumidification curve to preserve the internal nutrients of honeysuckle, with a good color and full shape, which improves the market competitiveness of the product. Users can also retain the moisture content of the material according to their own needs, while ensuring the quality of the dried material and increasing the weight of the dried product. It is deeply loved by users! Honeysuckle has a natural color, full shape, does not damage the flower shape, does not damage its natural medicinal properties, and does not lose its nutritional components. This equipment has a high degree of automation and does not require special supervision. The drying process is all controlled by a microcomputer.
