Garlic air drying machine

The garlic air drying machine is a highly efficient and energy-saving solution for surface moisture removal of garlic cloves. The machine rapidly dries the surface without damaging the outer peel, ensuring the cloves remain intact and ready for further processing or packaging.

This machine is multifunctional — it is not only used for drying garlic cloves after washing, but also suitable for air-drying the surface of vegetables, fruits, meat products, seafood, and food packages after cleaning.

Shuliy Group has specialized in garlic processing machinery for over 10 years. The garlic air drying machine is commonly used in garlic processing lines to remove surface moisture. It is also frequently exported as a standalone machine to many countries, such as India, Australia, South Africa, Vietnam, and others.

How does the garlic air drying machine work?

Garlic air drying process:

Feeding the garlic → Air knife drying → Flipping during drying → Moisture removal → Discharge

The garlic air drying machine works by using high-pressure air blowers and air knives to remove surface moisture from garlic cloves after washing. Here’s how the process works.

• Feeding the garlic: The cleaned garlic cloves are evenly fed onto the conveyor belt of the machine.
• Air knife drying: As the garlic advances, it passes through a series of high-speed air blades, which blow strong, concentrated air into the cloves from various angles.
• Flipping during drying: The conveyor can be fitted with a turning mechanism to gently rotate the garlic so that all sides are dried uniformly.
• Moisture removal: Strong air current is effective in removing water droplets from the surface and does not harm the skin of garlic.
• Discharge: Then, the dried garlic cloves are released at the end of the conveyor and are prepared for further processing, e.g., peeling, slicing, or packaging.

How to maintain the garlic air drying machine

Regular Cleaning

• Clean the interior of the machine after each use, especially the conveyor belt and air ducts, to prevent blockages.
• Regularly clean fan blades, filters, and the electrical control box to maintain good ventilation and avoid dust buildup.

Electrical System Check

• Periodically inspect the power cables and control panel for looseness, aging, or short circuits.
• Keep the control system dry to prevent moisture-related malfunctions.

Lubrication of Moving Parts

• Regularly lubricate moving components such as chains and bearings to reduce friction and wear, extending the machine’s lifespan.

Fan Operation Monitoring

• Ensure the fan operates smoothly without abnormal noise or vibration.
• If irregularities occur, check for loose or damaged motor parts or fan blades.

Tightening of Screws and Bolts

• Screws may loosen during operation; inspect and tighten them regularly to ensure structural stability.

Replacement of Wearable Parts

• Replace consumable parts such as belts, fan blades, or motors in a timely manner, based on usage frequency and manufacturer recommendations.

Maintenance Log

• Keep a detailed maintenance record including dates, maintenance tasks, and any issues encountered, to facilitate future troubleshooting and machine management.
