LINE CONFIGURATION
Equipment, layout and utilities
Plant layout
Provide separation for wet cleaning and dry pepper handling. Assess ventilation, worker exposure and sanitation for powder production.
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
Whole peppers and opened pods have different drying paths. Trial the intended cut and load, then verify color and moisture distribution.
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?
Sorting, optional cutting, a belt dryer or heat-pump room and finishing equipment. Select milling and dust handling for powders.
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.
