Verified 500 kg heat-pump drying room reference configuration
Direct answer: This 500 kg heat-pump drying room is a 3P, 18 kW system configured for a reference fresh-material load of 500 kg in approximately 7 hours. The chamber uses 100 mm polyurethane insulation, three circulation fans and two stainless-steel trolleys with 24 trays. Actual cycle time and output depend on the material, preparation, initial moisture, target moisture and loading density.

Capacity and energy-use conditions
Fresh-input capacity is not the same as dried output. Final results vary with the product, preparation, initial and target moisture, loading density, ambient conditions and drying recipe. Request a sample test or a written capacity basis before treating any figure as a production guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Are the stated capacities guaranteed for every material?
No. Capacity and cycle time depend on material type, preparation, slice thickness, initial moisture, target moisture, tray loading and ambient conditions. The values on this page are reference configurations, not universal guarantees.
What electrical information is needed before ordering?
Confirm destination voltage, phase, frequency, available connected load and local electrical standards. A model should not be selected from capacity alone.
What should be confirmed in an energy-consumption figure?
Ask for the measurement period, material, batch load, moisture reduction, ambient conditions and operating stages. A kWh figure without those conditions should be treated as a reference rather than a guaranteed batch cost.
