Description
AGICO's onion drying equipment is primarily constructed of 304 stainless steel, ensuring food-grade hygiene standards. Its rational structure ensures stable operation, and its multi-layer mesh belt structure can be flexibly configured to meet production requirements, enabling continuous, automatic drying.
The equipment seamlessly integrates with other onion washing, cutting, peeling, and packaging equipment to form a complete onion processing line, significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency.
Working Principle Of Onion Dryer
An onion dryer is a continuous drying machine that uses electric, steam, and hot air heating. Its main operating principle is to evenly spread the material on a mesh. The machine's operation moves the material through the dryer, where hot air extracts the water vapor from the material, achieving the desired drying effect.
The operating temperature ranges from 40-120°C. The drying cycle is 1-5 hours.

Onion Drying Processing Steps
1: Place the onions on the onion dryer's conveyor belt. A homogenizer on the conveyor belt spreads the onions onto the feeder, with the onions stacked 10-20cm thick.
2: Once inside the onion dryer, the onions rotate in an S-shaped pattern. The onion dryer's transmission uses a variable-frequency motor, which controls the drying time based on the onions' moisture content.
3: The air speed and pressure generated by the hot air blower ensure uniform distribution of the hot air within the onion dryer. Because the pressure at the bottom is greater than the pressure at the top, the hot air naturally moves upward, passing through each layer of the mesh belt. Combined with the movement and tumbling of the onions, this ensures full contact between the onions and the hot air, promoting heat exchange and improving drying efficiency. The dried onions are then discharged through the final layer.
FAQ
Q: What types of onions are suitable for this onion drying equipment?
A: It's suitable for red, white, and yellow onions, among other varieties. It can be sliced, diced, or shredded.
Q: Can the drying temperature and time be adjusted?
A: Yes. The temperature range is generally 40-120°C, and can be adjusted flexibly based on the moisture content of the material.
Q: Can the dried onions be stored long-term?
A: Yes. The moisture content of dehydrated onions can be reduced to 5%-8%, significantly extending their shelf life.
Q: Does AGICO provide complete line design services?
A: Of course. We offer complete production line solutions, from raw material processing to drying and packaging.
