Five development trends of microwave drying equipment

Microwave drying equipment is widely used in food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries. With the continuous improvement of industrial production technology and consumer requirements, higher technical requirements are also put forward for drying equipment.

China’s modern drying technology was gradually developed in the 1950s. So far, commonly used drying equipment, such as airflow drying, spray drying, fluidized bed drying, microwave drying, freeze drying, etc., can be produced in my country to meet the needs of the market. Supply, some newer drying technologies such as impingement drying, impinging flow drying, superheated steam drying, heat pump drying, etc. have also been developed and researched, and some have been industrialized.

The achievements of China’s modern drying technology are the result of the joint efforts of Chinese scholars and business circles. Although the results are gratifying, the research lacks financial support. Many results have not been transformed into productivity, so that the company’s products cannot be updated. The faster development of modern drying technology in our country requires researchers to work harder, but also to make the drying technology market more orderly and standardize competition.

Industry insiders pointed out that the future development of drying equipment in my country will mainly show five major trends. One is the comprehensive application of several heat transfer forms to make the advantages of various heat transfer forms at different stages of drying, making the energy use of the drying equipment more reasonable; two, the equipment will develop towards large-scale development; third, the drying equipment Targeting will be achieved; fourthly, the development of multi-stage and combined drying systems will tend to be achieved; fifthly, the equipment will be multifunctional.

When exploring new development paths for drying technology, it is necessary to comprehensively consider energy efficiency, environmental protection and product quality in order to achieve overall, coordinated and sustainable development. To implement the development strategy of green drying, we must first take a resource-saving development path, and change the single extensive drying into a combined and intelligent drying. It is not only necessary to carry out a fundamental transformation of the drying process, but also to carry out overall and multi-level energy-saving technological transformations, and vigorously develop drying technologies that apply renewable energy and industrial waste heat.
