A Flavorful Full Moon Season: Elevating Nuts & Dried Fruits for Mid-Autumn
As the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, the moon-viewing platter is incomplete without the rich flavors of various nuts and chewy dried fruits. They are not only delightful snacks but also essential ingredients that enrich the traditional baked and snow skin mooncakes. For producers, this is a peak season, and product quality is the deciding factor in winning over customers. However, traditional drying methods often come with many risks that directly affect the quality of the final product.
Problems with Traditional Drying Methods
🎨
Loss of Natural Color
High temperatures alter pigments, causing fruits to darken and lose their fresh color.
🌿
Nutrient Degradation
High heat destroys valuable vitamins and enzymes present in nuts and fruits.
🍬
Hard & Caramelized
Uneven high-temperature drying makes the product tough, and the sugar can caramelize, creating a bitter taste.
🌦️
Weather Dependent
Sun-drying makes it impossible to maintain a consistent production schedule during rainy or humid weather.
Daxwell - The "Artisan" of Low-Temperature Drying: The Secret to Preserving All the Goodness
To completely solve the above issues, DeAir presents the Daxwell Heat Pump Dryer - a modern "artisan" that helps create top-quality dried products. This technology is based on two core elements:
- Heat Pump Drying Technology: Simply put, this is a technology that dries at low to medium temperatures (from 25-80°C). This process gently removes water vapor from the product without using excessive heat, similar to "sun-drying indoors" but much more efficient and proactive. This is the secret to preserving nutrition and natural color.
- PLC Controller & HMI Screen: This is the "brain" of the machine. It allows the operator to set up and customize multi-stage drying cycles (temperature, humidity, time) for each specific product. This is the secret to creating a final product with the desired texture and "perfect taste".
The Daxwell dryer's cycle can be customized for a wide variety of products.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How is low-temperature heat pump drying different from drying with a resistance heater oven?
Heat pump drying (low-temp drying) operates at lower temperatures, gently removing water while preserving the nutrition, color, and flavor of the product. Resistance heating uses very high temperatures, which can alter quality, cause caramelization, and consume significantly more energy.
2. Can I dry different types of products in the same Daxwell machine?
Absolutely. The smart PLC controller of the Daxwell machine allows you to save multiple different drying cycles. You can easily select the optimal drying program for each type of nut or fruit with just a few taps on the touch screen.
3. If I need to dry above 100°C, can the Daxwell machine handle it?
Yes. With the advantage of being a direct manufacturer in Vietnam, DeAir can fully customize the design and components of the Daxwell dryer to meet higher temperature requirements, suitable for the specific industry and unique technological processes of the customer.
4. What are the advantages of the Daxwell dryer compared to other heat-pump dryers on the market?
The superior advantages of Daxwell come from a combination of factors: (1) Domestic manufacturing, allowing for proactive control over technology and components. (2) High-quality components that meet international standards. (3) Full CO, CQ documentation for transparency of origin. (4) And most importantly, 24/7 technical service that partners with you to ensure your production is never interrupted.
