LINE CONFIGURATION
Equipment, layout and utilities
Plant layout
Allow room for tray staging, handling and protected packing.
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
Leaf and stem drying rates can differ. Check aroma, color and residual moisture for the actual part being dried.
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 surfaces, food-contact trays and a batch chamber. Review airflow adjustment for light materials.
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.
