Dryer baking pan
The dryer baking pan is a tray or grid placed in the furnace to carry and distribute materials. These bakeware are usually breathable, allowing hot air to flow around the material to remove moisture evenly. The design of the baking tray of different dryers may be different and customized according to the type of material and drying needs.
Common features of baking pans
Material
Stainless steel: the most common material for food drying, corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and easy to clean.
Galvanized steel: can be used for drying industrial parts. The price is lower than stainless steel.
Breathability
Mesh design: The surface of the baking pan can adopt a mesh structure to ensure that hot air can circulate evenly and the materials can be dried more evenly.
Hole design: Some bakeware will have holes on the surface, which can also promote air flow and is suitable for materials that require a long time to dry. The perforation structure is stable and therefore easy to clean.
Shape and size
Standardized Sizes: The dryer uses standardized baking pan sizes for easy maintenance and replacement.
Cleaning and maintenance
Baking pans should be cleaned regularly to avoid material residue and cross-contamination. Especially when drying food or medicinal materials, keeping the baking tray clean is critical to product quality.
Application
Tea processing: Baking trays are often used to carry tea leaves that need to be dried to ensure that the tea leaves are evenly heated. It is recommended to use a baking tray.
Food processing: used for drying fruits, vegetables, meat, etc., it needs to be spread evenly on the baking sheet to avoid overlapping and affecting the drying effect. Due to the convenience of cleaning, it is recommended to use a hole plate.
Drying of Chinese herbal medicines: When drying Chinese herbal medicines, the breathability of the baking sheet is particularly important to ensure that the active ingredients of the medicinal materials are not lost. It is recommended to use a network disk.
The design and material selection of the baking pan directly affects the drying effect and efficiency. Therefore, when selecting a dryer, the quality and applicability of the baking pan are one of the key factors to consider.
