Mycelium concentration and drying equipment – seeking recommendations

For the secondary concentration and drying of mycelium, the following types of equipment can be considered: 1. **Freeze dryer**: Utilizing freeze-drying technology, this device allows the mycelium to lose water through sublimation at low temperatures, thereby preserving its active components and structure to the greatest extent; it is suitable for applications where high quality standards are required. 2. **Spray dryer**: Uses high-speed hot air to atomize liquid materials, rapidly evaporating the water to produce dried powder. Spray drying can quickly process large amounts of solution, but it may not be suitable for some heat-sensitive substances. 3. **Vacuum dryer**: Drying is carried out under vacuum conditions, allowing the process to take place at lower temperatures. It is suitable for drying heat-sensitive materials, and helps to preserve the color, aroma, and nutritional values of the materials. 4. **Belt dryer**: The mycelium is evenly spread across a conveyor belt through a continuous belt transport system, and dried using methods such as hot air or infrared radiation; it is suitable for industrial large-scale production. You can choose the most suitable type of drying equipment based on your specific requirements (such as production volume, investment budget, product quality standards, etc.). At the same time, it is recommended to communicate in detail with the equipment supplier to understand the specific specifications, performance, and service support available for the equipment, so as to make a more appropriate choice. .

Thank you for your suggestion. We have over 20 tons of mycelium, and it doesn’t generate much economic benefit; it’s just for ease of storage.
