Problems solved by technology

[0004] The first type: frying or vacuum low-temperature frying process; this process relies on frying to puff and dehydrate fruits and vegetables, but it loses a lot of nutrients and contains residual oil. The product is not resistant to storage, and it is not healthy for regular consumption
[0005] The second type: vacuum freeze-drying processing technology (abbreviated as freeze-drying); although the fruit and vegetable crisps produced by this method retain the nutritional components and taste of the original fruits and vegetables to the greatest extent, but because of its complicated production process, expensive equipment, time-consuming production, and energy High consumption, resulting in high cost of freeze-dried products, affecting its large-scale promotion in the agricultural product processing industry
Due to the static drying, the materials cannot be turned over, and there will be uneven drying in each layer of material trays in the same expansion tank, and even the materials in the same material tray, often some have not yet reached the final drying requirements, and some have been dried too much, and the quality is difficult to control
In order to achieve uniform drying, the heating plate can only be controlled at a lower temperature to ensure that the dried material does not exceed the maximum allowable temperature (the temperature that will not be scorched or denatured), and continue to heat and dry the undried material, which will inevitably prolong the life of the whole tank. Drying time reduces productivity
②The operation means is entirely dependent on manpower; the existing puffing dryer relies on manpower to spread the fruit and vegetable raw materials in the metal material tray. In order to ensure that the final product is dried evenly, workers are required to spread the material as close as possible to the material plate, and the material layer is uniform in thickness and density. Evenly, and then put the trays in the expansion tank for puffing and drying, and then take out the trays to clear the trays when discharging. The process is entirely manual operation, which is not only labor-intensive, but also unable to maintain the stability of the process and the consistency of product quality.
③ The equipment lacks versatility; not all fruits and vegetables in the existing puffing dryer can be puffed and dried with variable temperature and pressure difference. At present, most of the fruit raw materials that are easy to puff and dry, such as apples, are used to produce crisp chips, and a large number of fruit and vegetable raw materials that are difficult to dehydrate and puff, such as High-starch fruit and vegetable chips such as bananas, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are seldom seen
