Black garlic fermentation machine

The black garlic fermentation machine is designed to process fresh garlic under controlled temperature and humidity conditions, producing black garlic with a dark color and soft texture. It helps food processors manage the aging process and produce batches under repeatable conditions.

Our black garlic making machines offer eight models, with fresh garlic capacities ranging from 20 to 180 kg per batch. The machines are suitable for businesses that want to produce black garlic for retail sales, food manufacturing, or specialty food markets.

Key features of black garlic machine

1. Precise temperature and humidity control

The black garlic fermentation machine provides controlled processing conditions to support consistent black garlic color, texture, and flavor. The specified test-chamber data list temperature fluctuation of ±0.5°C and temperature uniformity within 1°C.

2. Programmable touchscreen control

The TEMI850 controller supports preset processing stages, reducing repeated manual adjustments and helping operators reproduce tested recipes across batches.

3. Insulated chamber and durable materials

The chamber features a SUS304 stainless steel interior, 100 mm polyurethane insulation, double-layer silicone door seals, and adjustable stainless steel racks for practical loading and cleaning.

4. Reliable components and safety protection

The described configuration includes refrigeration and electrical components from brands such as Tecumseh, Schneider, and Omron. Listed protective functions include over-temperature protection, fan overload protection, and compressor overload protection.

5. Multiple capacities for different production needs

The TZ-H series offers eight models, processing 20–180 kg of fresh garlic per batch, with a reference black garlic output of 10–90 kg. Buyers can select a capacity according to their production targets and available space.

Fermentation process for black garlic

Black garlic is produced by aging fresh garlic under controlled temperature and humidity conditions. Each stage contributes to its characteristic dark color, soft texture, and sweet-sour flavor.

Processing Stage	Duration	Temperature & Humidity	Main Changes
Initial Heating	Days 1–4	85–95°C, around 85% RH	Garlic softens as processing begins.
Color and Flavor Development	Days 4–10	Gradually reduced to 55–75°C	Browning reactions develop the dark color and sweet-sour flavor.
Controlled Aging	Days 10–30	50–60°C, around 85% RH	Flavor and texture continue to develop.
Final Aging and Moisture Adjustment	Days 30–90	Adjusted ventilation and humidity	Moisture content and texture are adjusted to meet product requirements.
Cooling and Packaging	After processing	According to the validated procedure	Garlic is inspected, cooled, and packaged under appropriate hygienic conditions.

The processing schedule is a reference. Actual settings and duration depend on garlic variety, bulb size, equipment performance, and desired product quality. Shelf life must be confirmed through appropriate testing.

Why ferment fresh garlic into black garlic?

Black garlic offers food producers a way to turn fresh garlic into a differentiated, value-added product. Controlled aging changes its flavor, texture, and color, creating new opportunities in specialty foods and packaged products.

Fresh garlic vs. black garlic:

For garlic growers and food processors, black garlic production can diversify product offerings and create additional sales opportunities.

How much does a black garlic machine cost?

The price of a black garlic fermentation machine depends on the chamber capacity, control system, construction, component configuration, and level of automation.

Currently, black garlic machines on the market typically cost upwards of 2,000 USD. The exact price varies based on factors such as production capacity.

What affects the purchase price?

Cost Factor	Why It Matters
Chamber capacity	Larger chambers generally require more materials and may have higher equipment costs.
Temperature and humidity control	Controller type, sensor accuracy, and available programming functions affect configuration.
Construction materials	Stainless steel grade, insulation, and chamber structure influence the cost.
Core components	Compressor, control components, and protective devices vary between configurations.
Automation	Additional monitoring, control, and production functions may increase the price.
Shipping and installation	Freight, import duties, local electrical work, and installation can add to the initial investment.
After-sales support	Warranty terms, spare parts, technical guidance, and service arrangements should be included in the comparison.
