AI Technical Summary
Current drying technologies in the tanning industry lack reliable methods to monitor moisture content during the final drying cycle of hides, leading to adjustments of drying parameters based on operator experience and historical drying curves, without precise control over moisture reduction and surface minimization.
A method and apparatus using weight sensors and surface measurement sensors to continuously monitor the moisture and surface changes of hides, transmitting data to a control unit that adjusts air temperature, humidity, air flow speed, and drying time in real-time to optimize the drying process.
Enables precise control of the drying process, ensuring optimal moisture reduction and surface preservation, improving efficiency and consistency of hide drying by adjusting parameters based on real-time data, thereby enhancing the quality and yield of the final product.
