Drying
Terep’s heat‑pump drying units encompass three major categories—split‑type, all‑in‑one, and assembly‑line‑integrated systems—offering precise temperature and humidity control, pre‑set drying profiles, and versatile performance to meet the drying needs of a wide range of products, including meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables, flowers and herbs, medicinal materials, wood, and industrial paper tubes, cardboard, and cartons. At their core, these units deliver energy efficiency (COP of 4.0–6.0, thermal energy utilization rate of 92%), intelligent convenience, and safety and environmental friendliness (zero emissions, low noise, with food‑grade 304 stainless steel options available). They are also durable and low‑consumption, allowing flexible selection based on drying capacity, material characteristics, and production requirements. Widely deployed across industries such as food processing, agricultural product processing, wood processing, and paper manufacturing, they help enterprises achieve green, energy‑efficient upgrades to their drying operations.

| Crew Type | Core Parameters | Core Advantages | Meat product drying | Seafood Drying | Drying of fruits and vegetables / flowers and herbs / medicinal materials | Wood drying | Industrial paper tubes / cardboard / carton drying |
| Split-type heat pump drying unit | Drying temperature control: 25–85°C; maximum air supply temperature: 92°C; heating capacity: 4–68 kW; circulating air volume: >1,200–20,000 m³/h; suitable operating environment: −5 to 40°C; drainage: ventilation/evaporative dehumidification; heating: recirculating/once‑through heating. | 1. The heat pump is separated from the drying chamber, ensuring low noise and minimal vibration, making it ideal for high-temperature or noise‑isolated environments. 2. A single host unit can connect to multiple chambers, offering excellent scalability and supporting large‑batch continuous production. 3. Core components are independently mounted, eliminating the need to open the drying chamber for maintenance and simplifying upkeep. 4. Customizable process profiles enable precise temperature and humidity control. | Compatible with cured pork, Chinese sausage, preserved duck, and beef jerky; features staged temperature control (40°C → 55°C → 45°C) to prevent fat exudation, precise dehumidification with high humidity in the initial phase and low humidity later, and uniform air distribution at 0.5–1.5 m/s to inhibit mold growth. Optional food-grade stainless steel inner liner and anti-mold filter available. | Compatible with squid, sand lance, and other seafood; available with corrosion‑resistant design, an evaporator coated with an antibacterial layer, a UV sterilization module, layered and evenly distributed airflow combined with a direct‑blow‑avoidance design, and a humidity sensor that automatically regulates dehumidification, ensuring precise temperature control within ±1℃. | Suitable for high-value medicinal materials (such as ginseng and cordyceps), various herbs, and traditional Chinese medicinal herbs; features precise low-temperature temperature control, uniform hot-air circulation with no dead zones, and preserves active ingredients, making it ideal for small-scale, multi‑variety batch drying of heat‑sensitive materials. | Compatible with hardwoods (oak, mahogany) and softwoods (pine, cedar); for hardwoods, low‑temperature, slow drying at 40–60°C; for softwoods, high‑temperature, rapid drying at 50–70°C. Features uniform air delivery at 0.5–1.5 m/s, an anti‑corrosion treatment on the evaporator, and an optional kiln‑control system to prevent cracking. Dehumidification capacity ≥ 5 kg of water/h·m³. | Compatible with paper tubes, cardboard, and cartons; high airflow of 3–5 m/s, with supply air at the top and return air at the bottom; featuring a color‑steel panel construction with a thick insulation layer and an inner liner; corrosion‑resistant evaporator; and an inclined drain pan to prevent condensate buildup; load‑bearing shelves designed according to the stacking density of paper products. |
| Integrated Drying Heat Pump Unit | Drying temperature control: 25–85°C; maximum air outlet temperature: 92°C; heating capacity: 4–20 kW; circulating air volume: >1,200–6,000 m³/h. Operating environment: -5 to 40°C. Equipped with dehumidification and heat recovery; optional material‑placement chamber volume. | 1. The heat pump is integrated with the cabinet, featuring short piping for reduced heat loss and improved energy efficiency. 2. Easy to install—simply connect to a power source and a drain pipe; compact design with minimal footprint. 3. Built-in heat recovery for high thermal energy utilization. 4. Supports mobile operation, with preset drying curves and intelligent temperature control. | Suitable for small-scale cured products and small-batch sausages/cured meats; features precise temperature and humidity control in compact spaces, automatic dehumidification, low-noise operation, and is ideal for small workshops engaged in small‑batch production. | Suitable for small-batch drying of seafood such as squid and sand lance; features a compact chamber with precise low-temperature control, a 304 stainless steel inner liner and a mold‑resistant filter screen, and a mini dehumidification module that rapidly removes free moisture—ideal for mobile seafood drying operations. | Compatible with strawberries and kiwifruit (delicate fruits and vegetables), carrots and potatoes (root and tuber crops), fruit and vegetable crisps, as well as various herbs and traditional Chinese medicinal materials; features segmented temperature control (40–75°C), a gentle‑air mode to prevent product damage, and uniform hot‑air circulation that preserves nutrients and appearance; supports mobile field‑side or small‑scale workshop drying. | Suitable for testing wood samples and small batches of solid timber; features a compact chamber with precise temperature control, low‑speed uniform air circulation to prevent cracking, and a portable, space‑saving design—ideal for wood‑drying tests in laboratories or small workshops. | Suitable for small-batch paper tube and cardboard sample production; delivers uniform airflow at low volume, enabling rapid dehydration; compact design saves workshop space; one-touch start-up; ideal for small paper mills requiring batch‑size drying. |
| Pipeline Production Drying System | Equipped with a high-temperature heat pump dryer, it is compatible with belt-type dryers (single‑layer or multi‑layer), offering temperature control from 25 to 85°C and a maximum air outlet temperature of 92°C. It supports continuous hot‑air penetration and horizontal blow‑drying. | 1. Continuous operation, suitable for high-volume, assembly-line production needs. 2. Multi-layer belt design leverages gravity to automatically turn the material, enhancing heat and mass transfer efficiency. 3. A compact, three-dimensional layout significantly reduces floor space requirements and maximizes space utilization. 4. Compatible with thin-layer materials, fragile products, and high-moisture materials that require staged drying. | Belt dryers are typically used for drying granular and lump materials; for slurry‑like materials, it is advisable to form them into pellets or cakes before drying. In the design of belt dryers, attention should be paid to sealing the sides of the conveyor belt and the inlet of the equipment to prevent air leakage. Belt dryers are primarily used for thin-layer materials, fragile products, items that are difficult to turn over, highly viscous materials, high-moisture products, products requiring staged drying, as well as biomass or insects that are resistant to impact, and for large‑batch continuous production. | ||||
