ELECTRIC DRYER

The electric dryer is a specialized machine designed to dry peanuts by reducing their moisture content from 15% to 6%. This process is essentialto ensure the peanuts are suitable for storage and consumption, preventing mold growth and spoilage.The dryer operates by using an electric heater to generate hot air, which circulates through the peanuts and removes the moisture. The temperature inside the dryer is adjustable, ranging from 0 to 120 degrees Celsius, allowing for precise control over the drying process to achieve optimal results. The drying process is automated, ensuring consistent and efficient operation. It takes approximately 30 minutes to reduce the moisture content of the peanuts by 1%. Therefore, to achieve the desired reduction from 15% to 6%,the dryer would typically operate for about 4.5 hours.

The electric dryer is an essential tool in the peanut processing industry, helping to maintain the quality and safety of the product through effective moisture control.
