How to Turn Apple Residues into Treasures?
Apple pomace is the residue of fresh apples after crushing, pressing and juice extracting. It is mainly composed of peel, kernel and residual pulp. The apple residue contains rich nutrients such as soluble sugar, vitamins, minerals and cellulose. It is advisable to process fruit residues into feed, which can not only improve economic benefits, but also avoid resource waste. However, the apple residue has high water content, which is not suitable for storage and transportation and easy to deteriorate. Therefore, it is recommended to customize the apple pomace drying system for companies that produce large quantities of apple pomace every day.
The apple pomace dehydration is generally divided into two stages. The first stage is the mechanical pressing treatment through the dehydrator. The water content after mechanical dehydration is about 60%. The dehydrated apple pomace can be directly packaged for export. The second stage is the deep dehydration through the fruit residue dryer. The water content of the dried fruit residue is about 12%, which can be stored for a long time. The dried apple pomace can also be used as feed, which can not only realize the resource reuse of fruit pomace, solve the problem of difficult treatment of fruit pomace in fruit juice plant, but also reduce the pollution of fruit pomace to the environment and create secondary income for enterprises.
The pomace drying system is used to dry the apple residue under the condition that the nutrients are not damaged. The whole production line is equipped with hot air stove, feeding and discharging equipment, electric control system, drum dryer, dust removal device, etc. The specific model of the equipment needs to be customized according to the requirements of the enterprise, such as water content, output, etc. The enterprise can get the drying products through the apple pomace drying production line, which is a simple process of apple pomace drying and reusing.
