The fruit drying production line involves several key steps, including raw material processing, pretreatment, drying, and packaging. Each stage necessitates specific equipment to uphold product quality and enhance production efficiency. Here is a breakdown of the process flow and equipment:

Raw Material Processing

Cleaning and Sorting: Raw materials are initially cleaned using a roller washing machine, utilizing high-pressure water flow and brushes to eliminate surface dirt and impurities. For soft fruits, such as bayberries and strawberries, water pressure is maintained at 0.3-0.5MPa to prevent damage, while for harder fruits like kiwis and apples, it can be increased to 0.8MPa.
Sorting Equipment: Equipped with an optical sorter employing CCD cameras to assess color and shape, identifying and eliminating moldy or insect-infested fruits. Color difference parameters are adjusted based on fruit characteristics.
Pretreatment

Slicing/Cutting: Slicers are chosen based on fruit attributes. For instance, serrated blades are recommended for pineapples, with a thickness of 5-8mm for uniform drying.
Peeling and Pitting: Halving machines or pitting knives are used to remove pits. Peeling involves the application of peeling agents or hot alkali solutions, followed by rinsing with water.
Color Protection: Fruit slices undergo immersion in a 1-3% salt solution to prevent oxidation and discoloration.
Drying

Drying Equipment: Air energy dryers or hot air drying equipment are employed, with temperature, humidity, and time controlled via PLC touch screens. The process includes initial low-temperature heating, gradual heating, color fixation, and humidity control.
Drying Process: Materials are dried in a specified temperature range with controlled humidity levels and drying times adjusted according to material thickness and characteristics.
Packaging

Grading and Packaging: Dried fruits are graded by size and color, then sealed using packaging machines to ensure hygiene and prolong shelf life.
Metal Detection and Coding: Metal detection equipment identifies foreign objects post-packaging, while coding machines mark production dates and batch information.
Additional Functions

Versatility: The production line can produce fruit and vegetable chips and crispy slices, with adaptable equipment configurations to meet diverse requirements.
Automation and Hygiene: Featuring a modular design with high automation levels, the production line incorporates 304 stainless steel components to meet food hygiene standards.

Features

• The equipment is divided into three sections, each of which controls the temperature and speed of the material.
• When the material enters another section of equipment, it will be turned over to ensure the uniformity of material drying.
• The inside of the drying chamber is heated by steam to ensure that the moisture of the material is fully evaporated while avoiding the phenomenon of being baked and smashed.
• The steam used in the equipment will be fully utilized and recycled during the production process to ensure unnecessary energy loss.
