It is the rainy season when chilis are harvested. The autumn rainfall frequency is usually 70-80%, and even higher. In this situation, chilis will soon mildew and rot if not dried in time. After a long time of research, we have developed a chili dryer with many obvious advantages. Traditional dryers can only dry a small amount of chilis at a time but consumes a lot of energy, resulting in serious environmental pollution. Furthermore, they can’t guarantee the safety and the running cost is very high due to special care. The new-typed chili dryer has higher thermal efficiency which is up to 400% and its operational cost is only one third of that of the gas or coal-burning dryers. DRYTECH dryer can generate cold wind as running, which will improve the working environment in the workshop. We not only provide customized dryers in different types and sizes, but also modify the dryers to meet your requirements.

How to dry chili with DRYTECH dryer
Drying chilis by phase is the best practice at present. In the first phase, dry the chili to reduce its moisture content from 75-80% to 50%, and then pile them up to sweat. In the second phase, dry the sweated chili up. Piling chili up for sweating is a very important step in the chili drying process and has an great impact on quality and quantity of dried chilis and drying time.
chili becomes soft and inflated in the drying process. Piling chilis up for sweating plays a great role in improving quality of dried chili. It will force chili oil to permeate toward chili’s surface to make color of dried chilis uniform, red and smooth and to make water well-distributed. It only takes 20-40 hours to dry up chili, and the number of yellow chili is decreased. If not, it takes 63 hours to dry 1,000 kilograms of chilis at 40-60°C. Don’t stir chili too much in the second phase. Otherwise, damage rate will rise, resulting in decline of sales price. Drying time varies with the quantity and type of chili.
