PEPPERS DRYING PLANT
The pepper type referred to is the variety known as oxhorn.
The pre-drying process involves cutting the pepper into slices as equal as possible to ensure uniform drying.
The achievable moisture content is around 6-7%.
The plant is constructed on three overlapping levels, where the product begins on the top level and moves to the lower levels, resulting in a constant mixing of the product.
The water evaporates through the circulation of hot air, distributed uniformly along the path above and below the bed using a system called PLEUNUM.
