Drying equipment is widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural and forestry products, food, light industry and other fields, is a large number of general mechanical products. China's drying equipment industry from the formation, development to gradually mature has gone through more than 20 years of history. At present, the conventional drying equipment needed in the domestic market and the main drying equipment needed in the international market can be basically manufactured in China. This shows that the history of mainly importing drying equipment in China has come to an end.

据通用机械干燥设备行业协会透露，今后几年，我国干燥设备需求将在以下若干领域增长明显。在粮食烘干领域中，用于水稻、小麦烘干的小型烘干设备（5吨／时以下），预计年需求量将达到千台左右；化工用干燥设备年需求量将达到3000台（套）左右；制药用干燥设备年需求量将达到3000台（套）左右；农林土特产品烘干设备年需求量将达到2000台（套）左右；轻工用烘干设备年需求量将达到2000台（套）左右。

According to China general machinery drying equipment industry association, in the next few years, China's drying equipment demand will increase significantly in the following areas. In the field of grain drying, the annual demand for small drying equipment (less than 5 t / h) for rice and wheat drying is expected to reach about 1000 sets; The annual demand of chemical drying equipment will reach about 3000 sets; The annual demand of pharmaceutical drying equipment will reach about 3000 sets; The annual demand of drying equipment for agricultural and forestry native products will reach about 2000 sets; The annual demand of drying equipment for light industry will reach about 2000 sets.

在干燥设备类型上，将以热风加热常压干燥设备、真空干燥设备为主，其他诸如远红外线干燥设备、微波干燥设备等特殊领域的用户也将逐步扩大应用数量；在食品、药品干燥方面，对真空冷冻干燥设备中的较大规格设备需求量将会增加；具有功能组合（如制粒—干燥、干燥—过滤）的设备需求量也将增多；高自动化干燥设备在一些应用领域将受到欢迎。另外，干燥设备外观质量将越来越受到重视，腐蚀性物料烘干设备的耐腐能力和可靠的使用寿命，将会受到用户特别关心。

In terms of the types of drying equipment, hot air heating atmospheric pressure drying equipment and vacuum drying equipment will be the main ones, and other users in special fields such as far infrared drying equipment and microwave drying equipment will gradually expand the number of applications; In the field of food and medicine drying, the demand for larger vacuum freeze-drying equipment will increase; The demand for equipment with function combination (such as granulation drying and drying filtration) will also increase; High automatic drying equipment will be popular in some application fields. In addition, more and more attention will be paid to the appearance quality of drying equipment. The corrosion resistance and reliable service life of drying equipment for corrosive materials will be of special concern to users.
