The present invention relates to a chili pepper drying apparatus. The present invention comprises: a hopper part storing chili peppers; a defrosting part formed on a side of the hopper part; a washing part formed on a side of the defrosting part; an inclined conveyor inclined upwards on a side of the washing part; a distributing device installed at an end of the inclined conveyor; and a drying device formed on a side of the distributing device. The frozen chili peppers stored in the hopper part are defrosted through the defrosting part, and then, the washing part sprays water to the defrosted chili peppers to remove dirt on the chili peppers while washing the surface of the chili peppers. The washed chili peppers are transferred to the inclined conveyor while being exposed to infrared light to remove moisture from the chili peppers. The drained chili peppers are distributed evenly into the drying device through the distributing device, and then, hot air is applied to the chili peppers transferred to the drying device to automatically dry the chili peppers. According to the present invention, the frozen chili peppers stored in the hopper part are automatically supplied to the defrosting part, the washing part, and the distributing device, and then, the chili peppers are automatically washed through the washing part after being defrosted through the defrosting part to insert the clean chili peppers into the drying device, and also, the chili peppers are dried with hot air while being transferred along a fixed route, and thus, the present invention is capable of consecutively drying chili peppers and reducing labor force as well as labor costs through automated defrosting, washing, and drying processes.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2018본 발명은 고추건조장치에 관한 것으로, 고추를 수용하는 호퍼부를 구비하고, 이 호퍼부 일측에 해동부를 형성하며, 해동부 일측에 세정부를 형성하고, 세정부 일측에 상향 경사진 경사컨베이어를 형성하며, 경사컨베이어 말단에 분산장치를 구비하고, 분산장치 일 측에 건조장치부를 형성함으로써, 호퍼부에 수용된 냉동 고추가 해동부를 통과하면서 해동되고, 이후, 세정부에서 해동된 고추에 물을 분사하여 고추에 묻어있는 찌꺼기가 제거됨과 동시에 고추 표면이 세척되며
