Apple deep processing and juicing produce a large amount of apple pomace. This material has a high moisture content, high sugar content, and is rich in pectin. When stored at room temperature, it is prone to fermentation, mold, and unpleasant odors, not only occupying factory space but also easily causing environmental problems. Professional drying treatment can effectively solve the problem of apple pomace storage, realizing the resource reuse of waste, which is a core way for fruit enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
Apple pomace is light and sticky. Ordinary drying equipment easily causes problems such as sticking to the walls, clumping, and uneven drying, making it difficult to achieve the required output. A standardized drying process requires mechanical extrusion pre-dehydration to remove free moisture from the surface of the material, reducing drying energy consumption and the probability of sticking. Then, it is fed into specialized pomace drying equipment. Relying on segmented temperature control and material dispersing technology, the apple pomace is evenly exposed to hot air, precisely dried to about 12% moisture content, resulting in a uniformly dried product that is less prone to spoilage.
Dried apple pomace has extremely high utilization value, being rich in dietary fiber and natural nutrients. It can be used as a high-quality livestock and poultry feed ingredient, in organic fertilizer processing, and further processed to extract pectin, polyphenols, and other raw materials. With a wide market reach, it significantly increases the added value of the pomace. Simultaneously, the entire drying line is equipped with environmentally friendly dust removal equipment, ensuring compliant emissions of waste gas and dust, meeting the environmental production requirements of enterprises.
Addressing the sticky and perishable characteristics of apple pomace, Zhengzhou Dingli has optimized and upgraded the structure and process of its pomace drying equipment. Customized drying production lines can be tailored to the enterprise's processing capacity and plant conditions, stably achieving efficient drying of apple pomace. This helps fruit processing enterprises solve waste disposal problems, achieving a dual empowerment of environmentally friendly production and increased resource revenue.
