Abstract: Chrysanthemum is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. Facing the high moisture content, easy decay and spoilage, and intolerance to storage of fresh chrysanthemums; Addressing the demand for chrysanthemum processing technology and the current issues of low automation and high energy consumption in chrysanthemum drying; A solar powered molecular sieve drying device was developed using the dehumidification characteristics of molecular sieves to solve the drying problem of chrysanthemum processing. At the same time, the device has an auxiliary electric heating function to meet the requirements of different drying methods for chrysanthemum processing under different weather conditions. Practical verification has shown that the molecular sieve drying device based on solar energy can well meet the process requirements of different drying methods for chrysanthemums, and has the characteristics of green environmental protection, low power consumption, high production efficiency, and good drying quality.
