Drying process:
1. First step, when the temperature of the drying room reaches 40 degrees, push the material cart filled with sweet potato chips into the drying room, set the target temperature to 40 degrees, and the time is 2 hours.
2. Enter the second stage, set the target temperature to 60 degrees, and set the drying time to 2 hours for continuous dehumidification.
3. In the third stage, the target temperature is raised to 65 degrees, and the drying time is set to 2 hours for continuous dehumidification.
4. Enter the fourth stage, set the target temperature to 70 degrees, set the drying time for 2 hours, and carry out continuous dehumidification. Generally, the humidity of the final sweet potato chips is kept at 16-18%, and drying can be completed.

The production process of sweet potato is various, especially regional, so the drying parameters are also different. The rising air source heat pump dryer has a range of 10-75 degrees, and can set 10 drying time periods and different time periods. Adjustable, humidity controllable to meet the adjustment of different processes.
