Application in food drying equipment:
Principle: The infrared radiation emitted by carbon fiber heating lamps can effectively dry food. Infrared rays can penetrate the surface of food, causing the water molecules inside the food to vibrate, thereby accelerating the evaporation of water.
Advantages:
High efficiency and energy saving: Compared with traditional hot air drying methods, carbon fiber heating lamps have higher drying efficiency. Because it directly converts electrical energy into infrared radiation energy, it reduces the loss of energy during the transmission process. For example, when drying fruit slices, carbon fiber heating lamps can reduce the moisture in the fruit slices to an ideal level in a shorter time, while consuming relatively less electrical energy.
Quality improvement: Since it is dried by infrared radiation, the nutritional content and flavor of the food can be better preserved.
Good temperature uniformity: Through a reasonable layout of lamps, the temperature distribution in the drying room can be more uniform. This is very important for ensuring the consistency of food drying. For example, when drying nuts, uniform temperature can ensure that each nut can be dried under the same conditions, improving product quality.
Application in food fermentation equipment
Principle: Carbon fiber heating lamps can provide a suitable temperature environment for food fermentation. The fermentation process usually needs to be carried out within a specific temperature range, and the heating lamp maintains this temperature range by adjusting the output power.
Advantages:
Precise temperature control: In the process of making fermented foods such as yogurt and kimchi, precise temperature control is essential. Carbon fiber heating lamps can accurately control the temperature within the range of ±1°C, providing a stable environment for microbial fermentation. For example, the optimal temperature for yogurt fermentation is generally between 40-45°C, and carbon fiber heating lamps can accurately maintain this temperature to ensure the quality and taste of yogurt.
No odor interference: Unlike some traditional heating methods, carbon fiber heating lamps do not produce odor during the heating process and will not affect the original flavor of fermented foods. When making traditional fermented soy products, the flavor of soy products will not be changed due to the odor of the heating equipment.
Application in food thawing equipment
Principle: Use the infrared heat emitted by the carbon fiber heating lamp to gradually melt the ice crystals of frozen food to achieve thawing.
Advantages:
Quick thawing: The infrared rays of the carbon fiber heating lamp can quickly penetrate the surface of frozen food and accelerate the melting of internal ice crystals. For example, for a piece of frozen beef with a thickness of 5 cm, thawing with a carbon fiber heating lamp is several times faster than natural thawing.
Maintaining quality: During the thawing process, due to the relatively uniform heating, the tissue structure of the food will not be destroyed due to local overheating. Compared with hot water thawing and other methods, thawing with a carbon fiber heating lamp can better maintain the original quality of the food, such as the freshness of meat and the taste of seafood.
Application in food insulation equipment
Principle: By continuously emitting infrared radiation heat, the temperature of the food is maintained at a certain level, which plays a role in insulation.
Advantages:
Flexible and convenient: Carbon fiber heating lamps can be easily installed in food display cabinets, insulation dining carts and other equipment. For some hot foods that need to maintain temperature for a certain period of time, such as the insulation of take-out meals during delivery, heating lamps can provide effective insulation solutions.
Good visibility: During the food display process, such as in the self-service pick-up area of the restaurant, the use of carbon fiber heating lamps for insulation will not block the customer’s view of the food, which is conducive to the display and sales of food.
