VegTech Systems, in partnership with Bigtem, offers advanced fruit and vegetable drying lines designed for efficient dehydration of a wide range of produce, including broccoli, garlic, onions, peppers, carrots, dill, and various fruits and vegetables. With capacities from 500 kg/h to 5 tons per hour, these systems are ideal for producing high-quality dried, shelf-stable, or ingredient-ready products.

Using optimized hot air drying technology, the system preserves natural flavor, color, and nutritional value, ensuring premium dried products for food processing, retail, and export markets.

The integrated drying line covers all stages of processing:

• Receiving & Feeding
  Fresh produce is received and conveyed into the processing line. 
• Washing & Cleaning
  Efficient washing removes soil, debris, and contaminants. 
• Trimming & Cutting
  Produce is prepared for uniform drying (e.g., carrots sliced into rounds, onions into rings). 
• Hot Air Drying
  Products are dried on trays or conveyors using controlled hot air (40–120°C) for 1–5 hours, reducing moisture to optimal levels: 
  • Garlic: ~5% moisture 
  • Peppers: ~10% moisture 
  • Other vegetables: 5–15% depending on product 
• Cooling
  Dried products are cooled to ambient temperature to stabilize quality.
• Conveying & Packaging
  Final product is transferred for packaging or further processing.
