Fermenter for the food industry FL series

Product overview
The FL series black garlic fermenter is an automated industrial system for converting fresh garlic into black garlic under controlled temperature and humidity. It integrates PLC/intelligent control, motor-driven material turning and automated drying to ensure consistent batches suitable for continuous commercial production.

Key features

• PLC or intelligent controller with programmable fermentation recipes
• Precise temperature and humidity control (typical process range 60–90°C and 70%–90% RH)
• Food‑grade 304 stainless steel fermentation chamber
• Uniform hot air circulation and motor-driven material turning for even processing
• Automated heating/humidification and automatic drying function
• Real-time sensor feedback and over-temperature protection
• Designed for easy cleaning and maintenance

Advantages

• Consistent, uniform black garlic quality across batches
• Reduced manual labor through automation and programmable cycles
• Scalable capacity from small pilot to high-volume commercial production
• Improved process repeatability and product yield control
• Preserves key nutritional and antioxidant compounds through controlled Maillard reaction
• Integrates into production lines with minimal operator training

Black garlic production process

• Selection and loading: load high-quality fresh garlic into trays or boxes and place in the fermentation chamber.
• Heating & humidification: steam or electric heating maintains target temperature (commonly 60–90°C) and humidity (70%–90%).
• Programmed temperature profile: controller runs a stepped program (for example start ~80°C then gradually lower) to drive the Maillard reaction.
• Material turning: motorized mixing/turning ensures even exposure and heat distribution in large batches.
• Monitoring & control: sensors feed data to the PLC which adjusts parameters during the typical 15–30 day fermentation cycle.
