Modernizing the Vinh Long Rattan & Bamboo Craft Village: The Daxwell 600M Heat Pump Drying Solution for Exports

Modernizing the Vinh Long Rattan & Bamboo Craft Village: The Daxwell 600M Heat Pump Drying Solution for Exports

Vietnamese rattan and bamboo products, especially from the traditional craft villages in Vinh Long, have long been famous for their exquisite craftsmanship and unique beauty. However, behind every exported product lies a production process fraught with challenges, where the drying stage for raw materials and finished goods plays a decisive role in the final quality and value.

To break free from weather dependency, eliminate the risks of traditional drying methods, and enhance competitiveness, an enterprise specializing in exporting rattan and bamboo products in Vinh Long approached DeAir to invest in a high-tech, safe, and efficient drying solution.

Challenges of a Traditional Craft Village in a New Era

The business shared the inherent difficulties they faced with old drying methods like sun-drying or using coal and firewood:

• Passive Production: Sun-drying is entirely dependent on the weather, making it difficult to plan and ensure delivery schedules for large export orders.
• Safety Risks: Drying with coal and firewood poses a very high risk of fire, and the smoke affects workers' health and can contaminate the products, making them unhygienic.
• Inconsistent Quality: Uneven drying can lead to products becoming moldy or too dry, causing them to crack, which increases the rate of defective and scrapped items.
• High Labor and Operating Costs: It requires a lot of manpower to move and monitor products during sun-drying or to operate coal-fired kilns.

The problem required a modern drying solution that could thoroughly address these issues, especially one that was safe, cost-effective, and produced consistent product quality.

DeAir & The Daxwell 600M Heat Pump Dryer Solution

After surveying the client's scale and needs, DeAir's engineers proposed the optimal solution: designing and installing a large drying room using the Daxwell 600M heat pump dryer.

• Drying Room Dimensions: 8m x 6m x 4m (Length x Width x Height).
• Drying Load per Batch: 3450kg of raw material input, yielding 2070kg of dried finished product.

This solution directly addressed the business's problems:

1. Safe and Clean: The Daxwell dryer uses electricity and operates in a sealed room, completely eliminating the risk of fire and smoke from coal. Products are dried in a clean environment, ensuring export standards.
2. Proactive 24/7 Production: The business has full control over its production schedule and can operate the drying room day or night, rain or shine, confidently accepting large orders with committed delivery times.
3. Optimized Drying Quality: The Heat pump dryer by Daxwell, with its intelligent controller, allows for flexible drying cycle settings (temperature, humidity, time) suitable for the specific characteristics of rattan and bamboo. The even drying process from the inside out helps the products retain their durability, flexibility, and natural color, minimizing cracking or mold.
4. Reduced Operating and Labor Costs: The Heat Pump technology provides outstanding energy savings. The automated operation process also helps the business significantly reduce labor costs for moving and monitoring products as required by traditional methods.

Practical Efficiency: Enhancing the Competitiveness of Vietnamese Rattan & Bamboo Products

Investing in DeAir's Daxwell Heat Pump drying room technology has brought about a powerful transformation for the business in Vinh Long. Now, they have not only solved long-standing problems but have also enhanced their production capacity, improved product quality, and optimized costs.

This is a prime example of how applying modern technology to production is the inevitable path for traditional Vietnamese craft villages, such as rattan and bamboo production, to preserve their value, develop sustainably, and establish their brand on the international stage.
