Engineering high-performance coconut processing machinery that drives efficiency, scalability, and sustainability for businesses across the globe.
Cibus Industries’ Leaf Dryer is expertly designed to gently and uniformly dry delicate botanicals such as moringa leaves, tea leaves, and other herbal products. The system features tiered tray conveyors, strategically placed variable-airflow plenums, and responsive humidity feedback controls to achieve precise moisture reduction within a tight range of 3% to 8%, optimizing for maximum nutrient retention, vibrant leaf color, and aroma preservation. Throughputs vary from 200 kilograms up to 1 tonne per hour, accommodating both small-scale specialty producers and large industrial operations. A multi-zone drying chamber allows independent temperature and airflow adjustments in segmented zones, enabling tailored drying profiles for differing leaf thicknesses and moisture contents.
“Balancing dehydration intensity with botanical integrity, the Cibus Leaf Dryer safeguards the phytonutrients and color essential for premium leaf products.”
In extensive pilot testing, the dryer is evaluated on moisture uniformity, color retention via spectrophotometric assays, and chlorophyll content assays - the key indicator of leaf quality. Data from real-world batch runs confirms ±0.5% moisture variance across the dryer, coupled with nutrient retention rates exceeding 95%, preserving the delicate biochemical composition essential for health and flavor benefits. The conveyor tray design promotes even exposure and air circulation, minimizing clumping and hot spots. Automated humidity sensors and PID controllers dynamically adjust airflows and temperatures in real-time, supporting energy savings and continuous product quality consistency.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials with smooth sanitary finishes, the dryer supports rapid cleaning and incorporates CIP-compatible components. Control systems include user-friendly PLC interfaces with recipe memory and SCADA integration for full process traceability and remote monitoring. Maintenance access panels ensure straightforward component inspection and replacement, maximizing uptime.
By combining precise process control, ergonomic design, and robust construction, the Cibus Leaf Dryer enhances your production capacity while maintaining the highest botanical product quality standards.
