Elevating Vietnamese Clean Incense: A Comprehensive Drying Solution with Daxwell Heat Pump Dryers
20/08/2025
1. Vietnamese Clean Incense: Elevating a Cultural Heritage in the Modern Market
Incense is not just a familiar spiritual item but also a cultural heritage, embodying the skill of the Vietnamese people for hundreds of years. Today, the incense manufacturing industry is undergoing a strong transformation to meet modern consumer trends: the demand for "clean incense" – organic, chemical-free, and safe for health – is higher than ever.
The global incense market is valued at billions of dollars and is projected to continue growing. This presents a golden opportunity for Vietnamese businesses and craft villages, such as the Quang Phu Cau incense village (Hanoi) or the Thuy Xuan incense village (Hue), to establish their position on the international stage. However, to seize this opportunity, the biggest challenge to overcome is the drying stage – the step that determines the product's quality and safety.

2. Challenges of the Traditional Sun-Drying Method
The manual sun-drying method, while traditional, has many inherent risks, especially in Vietnam's humid tropical climate.
4 Risks of Manual Incense Drying
🌧️
Weather Dependent
Causes production delays and a high risk of mold during rain or high humidity, ruining entire batches.
💔
Inconsistent Quality
Unevenly dried incense can warp, crack, or extinguish midway through burning, affecting the user experience.
💨
Loss of Precious Aroma
Harsh sunlight causes the valuable essential oils from herbs and agarwood to evaporate, diminishing the core value of the incense.
🔬
Lack of Hygiene
Outdoor drying cannot avoid dust and microorganisms, failing to meet the "clean incense" standard.
