AI Technical Summary
In traditional drying processes, pecans are sometimes over-dried or have excessive moisture content, resulting in the loss of nutrients. Existing equipment is also unable to achieve uniform drying.
A servo motor drives the stirring shaft to rotate the stirring blades, and the contact between the deflector plate and the fixed plate drives the drying tank to rotate. Combined with the air supply mechanism, hot air is provided to achieve uniform heating of the hickory nuts.
This method improves the uniformity of pecan drying, avoids localized over-drying, preserves the nutrients in the kernels, and enhances the drying effect.
