Notes
Loading Capacity: Standard 10 kg/m² applies to most products except lightweight porous materials (e.g., herbs, flowers).
Custom Solutions: For other models (e.g., FD-2400) or custom configurations, contact us for detailed specifications.
Energy Optimization Strategies
1. Equipment-Level Improvements
Radiative Heating: Reduces energy waste by 15–20% compared to conductive heating.
Variable-Speed Compressors: Adjust cooling power dynamically, saving 8–12% energy.
2. Process Adjustments
Pre-Treatment Optimization:
Slicing to <10 mm cuts drying time by 10–25% (e.g., carrots: 17h vs. 22h for whole).
Blanching porous materials (e.g., herbs) improves sublimation efficiency.
Load Management:
Avoid overloading beyond 10 kg/m² for dense products.
Reduce to 5–8 kg/m² for lightweight items (e.g., rose petals).
3. Operational Scheduling
Off-Peak Energy Utilization: Run high-load batches during low-tariff periods.
Batch Sequencing: Group products with similar moisture levels to minimize system recalibration.
