The R&D Journey of the Daxwell Dryer: From 48 Hours to 6-8 Hours for Rattan Drying
21/10/2025
The Market's "Pain Point" & DeAir's "Made in Vietnam" Commitment
Investing in a drying system is a major decision. But what happens when the dryer you buy takes too long to dry, delivers inconsistent quality, and worse, you don't even know its true origin? Today's market is a "mixed bag," with many brands carrying international labels but are, in reality, just re-labeled units imported from an unknown source. When a problem occurs, getting technical support and finding spare parts becomes incredibly difficult.
DeAir chooses a different path. We don't just "buy and resell." The Daxwell Heat-Pump Dryer is a product that is 100% designed, manufactured, and mastered in Vietnam. We sell a process of continuous improvement, a solution that is constantly researched and optimized. The story of reducing the drying time for rattan from 48 hours down to just 6-8 hours is the clearest proof of this commitment.

1. DeAir "Made in Vietnam": Mastered Technology, Clear Origin
DeAir is one of the few units in Vietnam with its own manufacturing plant, R&D center, and warehouse located in Ho Chi Minh City. We do not rely on pre-existing templates from overseas. Every product is strictly quality-controlled according to ISO 9001:2015 standards, ensuring a clear origin and stable quality. This advantage allows us to have complete mastery over our technology, enabling us to continuously improve our products based on real feedback from our customers.

2. Case Study: The 20-Year Journey to Reduce Rattan Drying Time
The story of optimizing rattan drying time is a persistent R&D journey spanning nearly 20 years by DeAir's founders and engineers, evolving through many generations of dryers and real-world projects.
Milestone 1: The Starting Point (48+ Hours): From 2005-2010, the rattan industry mainly relied on manual sun-drying, which took 48 to 72 hours (2-3 days), was completely weather-dependent, and had a very high spoilage rate (mold, deformation).
Milestone 2: First Generation Dryers (Down to 24 Hours): The first heat pump dryers were introduced, cutting the time down to 24 hours. However, the drying quality was still inconsistent.
Milestone 3: R&D and Improvement Phase (Down to 12 Hours): 3-5 years ago, through numerous field tests, DeAir optimized airflow and thermal cycles, reducing the standard drying time to just 12 hours.
Milestone 4: The Daxwell Generation (2025) - Breakthrough Optimization (Down to 6-8 Hours): We didn't stop there. The latest Daxwell dryer generation, born in 2025, is a revolution. By completely mastering the technology, redesigning the chamber, and programming "smart" multi-stage drying cycles, DeAir has successfully cut the standard drying time for rattan to just 6-8 hours – a new performance record in Vietnam.

3. Why Can DeAir's Daxwell (2025) Do This?
The Power of R&D and Real-World Data
We have our own lab. We continuously test our clients' real products (rattan, dried fish, agricultural products, herbs...) to find the fastest, most energy-efficient drying cycle. We don't guess; we use real data. This process, technically known as Process Heating Optimization, is key to reducing energy consumption and increasing drying speed, as highlighted by studies from the U.S. Department of Energy.

The "Made in Vietnam" Advantage - Mastering Technology
Because we manufacture our own products, we can immediately alter and customize the design (airflow, materials, machine size) to suit each specific material. This is something that fully imported units CANNOT do.
Smart PLC & HMI Integration
The Daxwell dryer uses a PLC controller and HMI screen, allowing for the programming of unique, multi-stage drying cycles (temperature, humidity, time) for each product, optimizing both time and energy.
The HMI screen allows for easy programming and customization of complex drying cycles.
4. The Benefits of Choosing a Continuously R&D-Backed Daxwell Dryer
You're not just buying a machine: You're getting an entire team of DeAir engineers who are constantly working to help you dry faster and save more energy.
Guaranteed Quality: A clear origin, quality-controlled at the DeAir factory, not a "resold" product of unknown origin.
Reliable After-Sales Service: When issues arise, DeAir—the manufacturer—handles it directly, with no need to wait for parts from overseas.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can the Daxwell dryer be used for products other than rattan?
Absolutely. The Daxwell Heat-Pump Dryer is designed for multi-purpose drying, widely used for agricultural products (fruits, vegetables), food (meat, seafood), herbs, and other craft industries.
2. Does the 6-8 hour drying time apply to all products?
No. The 6-8 hour timeframe is the optimized result for the rattan industry. Each product (like mango, fish, or herbs) has different physical properties and initial moisture content. DeAir will provide consultation and run free sample drying tests to find the optimal drying cycle for your specific product.
3. How is the Daxwell dryer superior to imported dryers (of unknown origin)?
The superiority lies in three key points: 1. Clear Origin: 100% manufactured at the DeAir factory in Vietnam. 2. Continuous R&D: Researched and improved to be suitable for Vietnam's climate and products (like the rattan drying story). 3. Direct Support: Warranty and maintenance are provided directly by the manufacturer, not a middleman.
