Alfalfa, as a high-quality feed, is of great significance to agriculture and animal husbandry. However, the moisture content of freshly harvested alfalfa is high, so it needs to be dried for easy storage and transportation. The traditional natural drying method is inefficient and has a large loss of nutrients. The alfalfa drying machine used in the forage processing plant can quickly complete the drying process, maintain the nutrition and color of the raw materials, and improve the commercial and feeding value. The equipment operates fully automatically, effectively solving problems such as material discoloration and deterioration, shortening the drying cycle, and improving yield and quality.
Alfalfa drying machine usually uses a three-layer rotary drum dryer, which has large output, high efficiency and energy saving, and small footprint. It is used in conjunction with a clean hot air furnace and is particularly suitable for drying high-moisture materials such as forage grass. It can quickly dry the moisture content of alfalfa from 65-75% to below 15%.
Working process: Alfalfa with moisture content of about 65-75% is sent into the drum by the conveyor for downstream drying. The grass is continuously picked up and scattered under the inner layer of the lifting board, and moves forward in a spiral manner. After passing through the inner, middle and outer layers, the heat exchange between the grass and the hot air is realized. The grass that has achieved the drying effect is quickly discharged from the drum under the action of wind. The wet grass that has not achieved the drying effect cannot move quickly due to its own weight. The grass is fully dried within the controlled stroke, thereby achieving the drying effect. The moisture content of the grass is reduced to 15% (adjustable according to customer requirements), and the drying process is completed and discharged by the screw conveyor.
Benefits of using alfalfa drying machine
1. Improve yield and quality: After using the alfalfa drying machine, the yield and quality of alfalfa are significantly improved, extending its storage life.
2. Reduce transportation costs: Dried alfalfa is easier to store and transport, reducing logistics costs.
3. Improve market competitiveness: High-quality alfalfa increases its market value and meets the demand for high-end forage.
