Background
A shiitake mushroom grower needed consistent, hygienic drying for fresh harvests. Traditional open-air drying depended on weather and produced uneven caps, off-colours and slowed the whole production cycle.
Solution
A 7 HP AOBOTE heat pump dryer with programmable temperature-humidity curves for mushroom batches. Low-temperature airflow gently removes surface moisture first, then evenly dehydrates the flesh without cracking the caps.
Results
One batch of fresh shiitake mushrooms is dried within 26 hours, delivering intact caps, a golden colour and a rich, concentrated aroma. The repeatable drying curve gives the grower a stable production capacity that no longer relies on weather.
