Total solutions For Your all
Process Drying Applications
Sun Drying
There are several limitations associated with traditional sun
drying. During periods of intermittent and particularly during continuous
rainfall, crop drying is not possible and the risks or crop losses are high.
Sun drying is slow and weather dependent compared to other alternative drying
systems. Crop quality may be low due to contamination by dust, dirt, stones and
insects, while direct crop losses from theft and livestock consumption can be
high. Sun drying also suffers from a high labour requirement and excessive crop
handling particularly in periods of inclement weather which can result in high
costs, crop damage and a loss in quality.
Since good design is essential for the long-term reputation of the
technology, scanair shall be addressing ourselves to installers, manufacturers
and consulting engineers.
Scanair found solutions for
drying applications with
Low/High Temperature Process
drying Dehumidifier
SCANAIR dehumidifier is specifically designed for use in high
temperature process drying applications. The unit can operate in
temperatures up to 70˚C. Used in conjunction with a scanair process drying
control panel to create the perfect drying environment for your product.
scanair also manufactures a standard range that can operate at up to 40˚C which
have also been used successfully in many process drying applications.

Pre-treatment
After the cardamom capsules have been washed,
the stalks are removed.
Soaking the cardamom capsules in 2-5%
sodium bicarbonate for ten minutes improves colour
retention. Sodium carbonate is also
used in Sri Lanka but there is much dispute whether this
method works.
Drying
This is by far the most important
section in the process. The inability to adequately dry the
produce will, at the very least slow
down the whole process and possibly lead to mould growth.
Any cardamom with even a trace of
mould cannot be used for processing. The sale value of
mouldy cardamom can be less than 50%
the normal value. In extreme cases the whole crop can
be lost.
Green dried cardamom receives a
premium in West Asia so drying has to be done in such a way
as to preserve the green colour. The
drying temperature is 50°C. The present system involves
allowing the humidity of the drying
chamber to build up for 2 hours and then to bring the humidity
down. It is thought the initial high
humidity 'cooks' the cardamom and inactivates the enzymes
that break down the chlorophyll. Also no light is allowed
in the drying chamber.
