Industrial Microwave Drying Tunnel for Pulp Molding & Bulk Foods - Continuous Conveyor System

Composition of production line
This complete system includes an infeed conveyor belt, a microwave generator cabinet with multi-magnetron configuration, a resonant cavity drying tunnel, a hot air exhaust and moisture removal system, a discharge conveyor, and a centralized PLC control panel.

Product Description
This industrial microwave drying tunnel is engineered for continuous, high-volume drying of pulp molded products (like trays and packaging), sliced fruits, and bulk Chinese herbs. By using microwave energy to directly interact with water molecules inside the product, it significantly reduces drying time, improves product quality, and ensures uniform drying throughout the material, leading to higher throughput.

Technical Parameters

Application

• Pulp Molding: Fast drying of molded trays, packaging, and tableware.

• Fruits: Drying slices of apple, mango, banana, and berries.

• Chinese Herbs: Efficient bulk drying of roots, leaves, and herbs.

Customization
This system is highly customizable. We can adjust the tunnel length, power configuration, conveyor belt material (e.g., mesh, PTFE), and temperature profile to create a perfect drying curve for your specific product and output requirements.

Feature

• Rapid and Uniform Drying: Microwaves penetrate the product, heating it from the inside out, preventing case-hardening.

• High Energy Efficiency: Direct energy transfer to water molecules reduces overall energy consumption.

• Continuous Operation: Designed for 24/7 integration into production lines.

• Improved Product Quality: Preserves color, active ingredients (in herbs), and structural integrity.

• Precise Control: PLC system allows for precise control over power and conveyor speed.

Support and Services
We provide comprehensive support including installation supervision, operator training, a 12-month warranty, and lifelong technical support with readily available spare parts.

Packing and shipping
The machine is disassembled into modules. All components are securely packed in weather-proof wooden cases suitable for sea shipping.

FAQ

• Q: How does microwave drying compare to traditional methods for herbs?

  • A: It's much faster and better at preserving active ingredients and color because of the lower temperature and shorter exposure time.

• Q: Can this machine handle different products on the same line?

  • A: Yes, the PLC can store multiple recipes. By customizing the settings, you can easily switch between different products.

• Q: Is the drying process safe?

  • A: Absolutely. The system is fully sealed with multiple safety interlocks to prevent any microwave leakage, meeting international safety standards.
