A fruit waste dryer is a highly efficient dehydrating device specifically designed for processing byproducts such as peels, cores, pomace, and defective fruit. Using hot air drying technology, it transforms these water-rich, perishable wastes into a stable, high-value resource.
1. Harmless and Reduced Treatment, Addressing Environmental Challenges
Fruit waste has an extremely high moisture content (typically 80%-85%), making it prone to rapid spoilage and fermentation, breeding mosquitoes and flies, producing sour and unpleasant odors, and producing leachate. The dryer uses high-temperature hot air to rapidly evaporate the moisture, reducing the material's moisture content to below 10%-15%, significantly reducing transportation costs and end-of-life processing pressures.
2. Resource Utilization, Enhancing Economic Value
Producing High-Quality Animal Feed: Dried pomace is rich in fiber, vitamins, fructose, and minerals, offering a nutritious and delicious taste. It serves as a high-quality energy feed or feed additive for livestock such as cattle, sheep, and pigs. It can partially replace traditional feeds like corn and wheat bran, reducing breeding costs.
3. Maximize Nutrient Retention
Modern, efficient fruit waste dryers (typically equipped with clean hot air furnaces) utilize low-temperature, high-volume, and staged drying processes. These enable rapid dehydration while maintaining an optimal temperature range (typically 60-75°C). This effectively preserves heat-sensitive nutrients (such as vitamins and antioxidants) in the waste, avoiding nutrient loss and quality degradation caused by high-temperature charring.
Summary
The role of a fruit waste dryer can be summarized as follows: it's more than just a drying machine; it's a comprehensive solution that integrates environmentally friendly treatment, resource recycling, and value enhancement.
