Shiitake mushrooms are beloved by many due to their unique aroma, tender texture, and rich nutritional value. The drying process plays a crucial role in determining the shape, color, and fragrance of shiitake mushrooms. Traditional drying methods include sun-drying, which often results in curled caps, dull appearance, and loss of aroma, and is highly weather-dependent; and wood-fired drying, supplemented with少量 electric heating tubes and fuel drying, which causes air pollution and poses fire hazards, while also producing inconsistent quality and color in the final product.

During the drying process, shiitake mushrooms benefit from excellent ventilation and even surface heating, eliminating the need for manual turning. The finished product achieves uniform quality without requiring manual sorting. The new shiitake mushroom dryer consists of a heat pump host unit integrated into a drying chamber, where material rack carts are placed. When the host unit operates, the air inside the chamber heats up, and axial flow fans circulate the hot air to dry the mushrooms. The air-energy dryer uses cold storage panels for the drying chamber, which are easy to assemble. The host unit does not require duct connections and can be installed indoors or outdoors.

With increasing support for agricultural development in China, the drying of agricultural products like shiitake mushrooms, as a vital part of the industry, is gaining more attention. Heat pump drying has also encountered favorable development opportunities. After drying, shiitake mushrooms experience reduced enzyme activity or even inactivation in fungal cells, thereby slowing or inhibiting growth and reproduction, which allows for longer preservation without spoilage while maintaining good quality.

In addition to shiitake mushrooms, this equipment is suitable for drying chrysanthemums, honeysuckle, seaweed, dried fish, shrimp, squid, fish fillets, sea cucumber, abalone, and other seafood. It also applies to dried bamboo shoots, fungi, garlic, flowers, dried fruits, vegetables, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, green beans, coconuts, betel nuts, wood ears, and other agricultural by-products, as well as traditional Chinese medicines like honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, rhubarb, salvia, and ginseng. It can dry meat products such as beef jerky, beef strips, and cured meats. Essentially, any material that can be sun-dried can be processed with this equipment.
