LINE CONFIGURATION
Equipment, layout and utilities
Plant layout
Keep staging time controlled and allow protected cooling and conditioning space.
Utility requirements
Confirm power, selected heat source, drainage and humid exhaust.
Investment factors
Drying duty, cleaning access, finish specification, automation and site work.
Configuration options
Compare manual and automated transfer, batch or continuous duty where applicable, and finishing modules.
Why this process
Size and skin affect the drying curve. Test actual varieties and check the center moisture of larger pieces.
CAPACITY OPTIONS
Plan the mass balance
Separate fresh feed, dry output and removed water. Allow for preparation losses, operating conditions and cleaning time.
EQUIPMENT & TESTING
Review the available evidence
Share a representative sample and confirm the trial protocol, measurement method and acceptance criteria with engineering.

QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
How should I specify the capacity?
Provide prepared fresh feed per hour or per batch, starting moisture and the dry product target. Clarify whether the feed is measured before or after trimming.
Which parts of the line are optional?
Grading, washing and preparation stations, trays, dryer and moisture-barrier packaging.
What should I bring to a process trial?
Provide a representative raw material sample, intended cut and quality targets. Record the load, recipe and moisture measurements.
