Preventing mold and cracking:
If bamboo sticks contain too much water, they are prone to mold and cracking. Through drying, the moisture content of bamboo sticks can be effectively reduced, thereby preventing these problems from occurring. Generally speaking, when the moisture content of bamboo sticks reaches 7%~9%, the finished product is not easy to crack, deform or degumming.

Improving quality and stability:
If bamboo sticks contain too much water during the production process, they are prone to deformation and even affect the overall quality. Drying can ensure that the shape and size of bamboo sticks are more stable, thereby improving their overall quality.
Improving hardness and density:
Through drying, the moisture in the bamboo sticks is evaporated, making the bamboo sticks more compact and harder, thereby enhancing their durability.
Disinfection and sterilization:
During the drying process, high temperature can effectively disinfect and sterilize to ensure the hygiene of bamboo sticks, which is particularly important for the food industry.
Specifically, there are many ways to dry bamboo sticks, including natural drying and mechanical drying. Although natural drying is simple, it is relatively slow and is greatly affected by weather and environment. Mechanical drying is faster and is not affected by weather and environment, but it requires precise control of drying temperature and time to avoid deformation or cracking of the bamboo sticks due to excessive drying.
