Heat Pump Mushroom Dryer MDXH30C / MDXH60C / MDXH90C

Fresh mushrooms are cleaned, sorted, and prepared according to the required drying process. The mushrooms are then evenly distributed on the drying trays.

The three models accommodate 30, 60, or 90 trays, depending on the required production scale.

The trays are placed inside the drying chamber in the designated positions. Proper distribution helps the circulating air reach the product during the drying process.

The heat pump system generates heat and raises the temperature of the circulating air. The system can provide an outlet air temperature of approximately 65–80°C according to the supplied specifications.

Auxiliary electric heating is also incorporated into the equipment configuration to provide additional heating capacity when required.

The circulation fan continuously moves heated air through the drying chamber and across the mushroom trays.

Different models provide different circulation air volumes:

• MDXH30C:5,000–7,500 m³/h
• MDXH60C:10,000–15,000 m³/h
• MDXH90C: 18,000–28,000 m³/h

As moisture evaporates from the mushrooms, water vapor enters the circulating air. The drying system uses condensation to remove the moisture from the air, allowing the drying process to continue in a controlled closed-loop environment.

The dryer incorporates an automatic temperature and humidity control system. This allows the drying conditions to be managed according to the product and drying stage rather than relying entirely on manual operation.

The MDXH series is primarily designed for fresh mushrooms and prepared mushroom products requiring hot-air dehydration.

Typical mushroom applications may include:

• Shiitake mushrooms
• Oyster mushrooms
• Wood ear mushrooms
• Black fungus
• King oyster mushrooms
• Enoki mushrooms
• Lion’s mane mushrooms
• Other edible mushrooms suitable for controlled hot-air drying

The machines can also potentially be used for compatible agricultural and food products, provided their drying temperature and moisture-removal requirements are compatible with the equipment.

For mushroom processing, raw materials should generally be cleaned, sorted, and prepared before being distributed evenly across the trays.

The final drying parameters depend on factors such as mushroom species, slice or whole-mushroom size, initial moisture content, desired final moisture level, tray loading density, and required product characteristics.

Upstream Equipment

The MDXH series can be used after:

• Mushroom Harvesting / Collection Equipment
• Mushroom Sorting Equipment
• Mushroom Cleaning Equipment
• Mushroom Cutting or Slicing Equipment
• Food-Grade Conveyor Systems

For farms that process their own mushrooms, the dryer can also be connected operationally with fruiting rooms, mushroom cultivation racks, and post-harvest handling areas.

Downstream Equipment

After drying, products can be transferred to:

• Cooling or Conditioning Equipment
• Mushroom Packaging Machines
• Vacuum Packaging Equipment
• Weighing and Filling Equipment
• Finished Product Storage Systems

The dryer therefore serves as a key post-harvest dehydration stage in a commercial mushroom processing line.

Installation & Commissioning

Support can cover:

• Dryer positioning
• Electrical connection
• Tray installation
• Heat pump system checks
• Circulation fan inspection
• Temperature and humidity control setup
• Initial test operation

Operator Training

Operators can receive training on:

• Tray loading
• Product distribution
• Temperature and humidity settings
• Drying-cycle operation
• Routine cleaning
• Product unloading
• Basic equipment inspection

Spare Parts

Replacement parts can be supplied according to the selected model and configuration, including applicable electrical, fan, control, and other service components.

Technical Support

Technical assistance can be provided for equipment operation, drying parameter adjustment, routine maintenance, and troubleshooting.

After-Sales Service

After-sales technical support can be arranged for commercial mushroom-processing projects according to the equipment supply and customer requirements.

The main differences are tray quantity, machine size, heating capacity, airflow, power, and recommended fresh-product load.

• MDXH30C:30 trays, ≤350 kg recommended fresh load
• MDXH60C:60 trays, ≤600 kg recommended fresh load
• MDXH90C:90 trays, ≤900 kg recommended fresh load

The appropriate model depends on the customer’s batch size and processing requirements.

The specified outlet air temperature range is 65–80°C. The actual operating temperature should be selected according to the mushroom species, product condition, desired moisture level, and drying process.

The supplied recommended fresh-product loads are up to approximately 350 kg for MDXH30C, 600 kg for MDXH60C, and 900 kg for MDXH90C. Actual loading should also consider mushroom size, tray distribution, moisture content, and drying requirements.

The main heating method is heat pump technology, while auxiliary electric heating is also included. For MDXH30C, MDXH60C, and MDXH90C, the auxiliary electric heating capacities are 2.4 kW, 9 kW, and 9 kW, respectively.

Yes. It can be positioned between post-harvest preparation and packaging, working with sorting, cleaning, cutting, conveying, cooling, weighing, and packaging equipment. For a complete project, the drying capacity and upstream/downstream equipment should be matched according to the customer’s batch size and workflow.
