In the dynamic food processing industry, the MeiYa Commercial-Grade Tray Dryers & Food Dehydrators offer a versatile, high-efficiency solution for dehydrating corn, apricots, bay leaves, and more. Combining CE-certified engineering with energy-saving heat pump technology, this system empowers businesses to produce premium dried ingredients while slashing operational costs and meeting global quality standards.
Core Technology & Innovations
- Multi-Product Adaptive Drying
• Corn Optimization: ◦ Gentle Heat & Airflow: Dry corn kernels (initial moisture: 20–25%) at 45–60°C to achieve 12–14% final moisture without starch degradation. Adjustable trays accommodate whole or cut corn for snacks or animal feed.
◦ Nutrient Retention: Preserve 90% of vitamin B and fiber, ideal for gluten-free flour or extruded snack production.
• Apricot Precision: ◦ Low-Temperature Cycles: Operate at 35–50°C to retain natural sugars and beta-carotene, preventing caramelization. Sulfite-free protocols comply with EU organic standards for chewy dried apricots.
• Bay Leaves Excellence: ◦ Volatile Oil Preservation: Gentle drying at 30–40°C with 15–20% RH maintains essential oils like eugenol and myrcene, critical for culinary and pharmaceutical markets. - Energy-Saving Heat Pump Design
Leveraging closed-loop heat recovery and variable-frequency compressors, the system reduces energy consumption by 60–70% compared to traditional tray dryers. Solar-ready integration further cuts grid dependency by 25–30%, qualifying for EU Green Deal subsidies. - Hygienic Industrial Build
• 304 Stainless Steel Trays & Chambers: Compliant with HACCP, ISO22000, and CE standards, ensuring corrosion resistance and allergen-free processing.
• Automated CIP System: Self-cleaning trays and ducts reduce cross-contamination risks by 50%, ideal for switching between spices, fruits, and grains.
Market Advantages
- Cost Efficiency & Scalability
• Factory-Direct Pricing: Eliminate middlemen costs with modular units handling 500 kg to 10 tons/day, achieving ROI in 12–18 months. • Hybrid Processing: Simultaneously dry corn, apricots, and bay leaves in compartmentalized trays, optimizing facility utilization. - Global Compliance & Certifications
CE-certified with Halal, Kosher, and USDA Organic endorsements, meeting stringent requirements for EU, North American, and Middle Eastern markets. - Smart Automation
• IoT-Enabled Controls: Monitor real-time humidity, temperature, and energy use via a 7-inch PLC touchscreen with cloud-based analytics.
• AI-Driven Alerts: Predictive maintenance notifications for filter changes and airflow adjustments.
