Air nest dryer helps farmers save hundreds of millions of dong / year

The new bird nest dryer only costs less than 4kwh / batch, if calculated in a year, the savings cost up to more than VND 100 million.

In order to assess the actual results of the application of science and technology in agricultural production, the Department of Science and Technology (HCMC Science and Technology) organized a practical visit to some of the models, applications that are being applied in Can district. Hours.

In this trip, the economic and environmental benefits that air nest nesting machine brings to the delegation made a strong impression.

Can Gio is the locality that is endowed with many typical agricultural products, including oat farming. However, the process of processing bird's nest from the new exploitation into finished products goes through many stages.

Drying is an extremely important step in the production and preservation of bird's nest. Most bird's nest when freshly processed have a moisture content of 90-100%. In this condition, microorganisms and enzymes grow very quickly, damaging and consuming nutrients in the bird's nest.

The process of separating moisture from bird's nest will slow the growth of microorganisms, enzymes and slow down the process of decomposition. This is a necessary step to preserve bird's nest for a long time.

In the past, oat production facilities often use manual drying with heat. However, this method has many limitations such as the nesting of the oats, discolouration, crispness and loss of flavor as well as many nutrients thus significantly reducing product value.

In order to overcome the above limitations, Mr. Chu Khac Minh - Thien An Engineering Co., Ltd. has researched and manufactured air-nest nest by operating on the process of using blower according to the principle of differential pressure and air flow. Forced convection comes in contact with both the upper and lower sides of the bird's nest.

Thanks to the design of the closed drying chamber, the flow of blowing air is limited. The amount of air blowing and moist air escaping is separated for each blister, avoiding the phenomenon of moisture contamination and cross-microbiological contamination, so the oats have even dryness on both sides.

Besides, swallow nest dryer also helps producers save large amount of electricity used. With the manual drying method, the amount of electricity needed to dry a batch of 2kg is about 219 kwh.

According to Ms. Vo Thi Gam, owner of the Gam Loc Salanganes'Nest facility, this new swallow nest dryer only costs less than 4kwh / batch and if calculated in a year, the savings cost up to more than 100 million VND.

The nest is being dried inside the nest of the bird nest by air.

Also according to the owner of the production facility, this machine can produce 2kg of dry bird nest every day. The temperature in the drying chamber is maintained at 30 degrees C, so it is safe for users. In addition, the design of the machine helps users just look from the outside can also know whether the drying process is completed or not.

In addition to saving costs, maintaining nutritional content, product color and ensuring food hygiene and safety, air nesting method also has the advantage of being environmentally friendly thanks to its full use. nature Air.

According to the owner of the factory, with the price of less than 60 million VND, the results of air nest dryer are extremely impressive.
