How to choose a suitable one?

Different clients vary in farming scale, product positioning, and budget, so selecting a microwave dryer requires a reasonable configuration based on actual needs.

Small-scale farmers are recommended to choose low-power, compact microwave dryers.
Medium-sized farms are advised to opt for continuous microwave dryers with conveyor belts.
Large processing plants are recommended to select fully automated industrial-grade microwave drying production lines.
