The DXY series continuous microwave drying equipment is the ideal choice for drying live soft insects such as fly larvae, black soldier flies, mealworms, etc. Its advantages mainly lie in the following aspects:

High efficiency and energy saving

    The traditional heating method transfers heat from the outside to the inside, and the heating rate is low. Microwave drying causes polar molecules (mainly water molecules) inside products to vibrate and rub against each other at high speed, generating heat that heats both the inside and outside simultaneously. This reduces the waiting time for heat transfer from the surface to the center.

    This allows the drying time to be reduced from several hours or even dozens of hours with traditional methods to tens of minutes. This not only significantly improves production efficiency, but also reduces equipment operating time and significantly lowers energy consumption.

High nutrient preservation

The drying time is very short, which significantly reduces the oxidation and destruction of heat-sensitive nutrients such as proteins, fats, and vitamins in the insects. This is important when insects are used as high-protein feed or food raw materials.

The color and shape of dried insects are well preserved

     Microwave drying quickly passivates enzymes, preventing darkening and spoilage due to slow drying, and the finished product retains its original color. At the same time, rapid drying prevents limb fractures caused by insect struggle, and the finished product retains its fuller shape.

Good insecticidal and sterilizing properties

 Microwave energy exerts thermal and non-thermal (biological) effects, which can effectively eliminate eggs, bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms inside and on the surface of the insect body at low ambient temperatures. This significantly extends the shelf life of the product and prevents pests and diseases when used as feed.

Fat oxidation is slowed down

    DEXIYA microwave drying equipment can quickly dry live insects, which shortens the time the fat is exposed to high temperatures, slows down fat oxidation and rancidity, and extends the shelf life of the product.

Seamless connection with subsequent processes

    Dried insects usually require subsequent processing such as cooling and grinding. The tunnel design of DEXIYA series microwave equipment allows it to be easily connected to cooling equipment, grinders, and other equipment, forming a fully automated production line, which greatly reduces manual intervention and cross-contamination.

Controllable process and high degree of automation

 Tunnel-type continuous production: raw materials continuously pass through the microwave chamber on the conveyor belt, achieving automation of the entire process of feeding, drying, sterilization, and discharging, which is very suitable for large-scale and standardized production in the modern food industry.

 Precise control: By adjusting parameters such as microwave power, conveyor belt speed, and cavity temperature, the degree of drying and sterilization temperature can be precisely controlled to ensure the stability and consistency of product quality in every batch.

Microwave dehydration efficiency: 

    Theoretically, 1.39 kg of water can be evaporated per kilowatt-hour of microwave power, while in practice it is 0.8–1.1 kg per kilowatt-hour. The required microwave power can be estimated based on the difference between the initial and final moisture content of the material being processed and the required output. Please also confirm your capacity requirements, and then we will prepare a detailed quotation for you. 

The microwave unit dries the insects and sterilizes them at the same time. We conduct the microwave dryer test for customers before shipment. Video links to the equipment:
