Scanair humidity controlled chamber has been developed that helps to reduce colour loss and to produce high quality pods. The cardamom capsules are placed in the drying chamber, which is at a temperature of 40˚C to 50˚C relative humidity range from 20% to 40% RH should be maintained during the first two hours of drying, a traditional drying chamber cannot achieve these parameters. This is the most important part of the process as it affects the quality of the final product. It is important to dry the cardamom capsules as soon after harvest as possible to prevent the loss of flavor. It is also important that the drying process is as short as possible so that mould does not grow on the capsules and the bright green colour is retained.  The drying temperature should not be above 50˚C as this affects the colour and delicate flavor of the final product.  In most places, cardamom capsules with a good green colour can be sold for a premium price.

Humidity Controlled Chamber for Cardamom Drying

The moisture content of a fresh cardamom capsule is about 85%.  This needs to be reduced to 10% in the dried product so the cardamom capsules can be stored.  If the drying period is too long mould can start to grow on the cardamom. The same sort of lumping and caking of powdered substances previously discussed is also a major problem in the industrial chemical production.  Some chemicals decompose in the presence of water vapor.  In other situations, water vapor can actually cause a chemical reaction that changes the character of the product. Atmospheric moisture is also a natural enemy to many grinding and pulverizing operations.  Water vapor in contact with the product can make it resilient and difficult to grind in pharmaceutical production, causing it to cling to the grinding machine and defy pneumatic conveyance from one process area to another.

Humidity Controlled Chambers Application Areas

Humidity Controlled Chamber is widely used in Industrial drying, Pharmaceuticals, Laboratories, Candy Manufacturing, Fertilizers / Powder Storage Warehouses, Paint Booth and Paint Lines, Agriculture industries , Floriculture industries, Tissue Culture industries, Agricultural Produce Storage Buildings

The Temperature Humidity Chambers are controlled by Digital temp controller, a user-friendly system that provides optimum accuracy and control. The Smart Pad is equipped with direct readings for both temperature and humidity. It also features 60 segment programming for automatic cycling. High-low or deviation alarms and serial communications port (with software) are standard. Scanair humidity generating systems are unique. The sources for humidity, dehumidification, heating, and refrigeration are all packaged in one self-contained unit. The unit is specifically designed to condition both modular paneled walk-in rooms and pre-existing laboratory or process areas. Scanair conditioner is designed to produce very precise humidity and temperature control. Since these generating units are self-contained, they can be easily used to condition existing walk-in rooms, custom chambers, and even existing laboratory or process areas. Units are manufactured in both vertical and horizontal configurations. Horizontal units can be positioned on top of a walk-in room.
