Research Drying Process with Herbal Gelio Accumulation Drying Equipment

Jasur Safarov

In this paper we consider the types of helio dryer for drying materials of plant origin. On the basis of literary analysis of one of the main disadvantages of the drying equipment is a large labor intensity mounting and operation of the equipment. Currently drying medicinal plants performed naturally. It is associated with a significant low quality of the finished product, so the need to develop a new drying equipment and technology. Researchers from Tashkent state technical university have developed a mini-gelio accumulation drying apparatus for producing high-quality products from medicinal herbs. The result of the comparative analysis of different types of dryers gelio has shown that their use contributes to a significant reduction in drying time by accumulation of energy as compared to the natural drying, at the same time preserves the biological active substances in the dried product. Also, discussed characteristics of motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca). The developers conducted an experiment on mini gelio drying equipment. Recycling motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) should be implemented in the following stages: reception of products, inspection, cutting, drying, grinding. During the drying process, experiments were conducted at a temperature of 45°C to 50°C and the drying time lasted 6 hours.
