A fruit dryer was shipped to Gaoping, Shanxi, drying 1,500 kilograms of apple slices per day

Apples are ubiquitous and a very common fruit. With the growing popularity of online sales, apples have also become popular snacks and preserved fruits. Apple snacks are essentially made by peeling, cored, steamed, and dried. Drying the apples is a key step, requiring drying equipment to preserve them.

Drying apples generally requires a drying room to prevent contamination, so drying fruit and other materials requires a drying room. An air-source apple dryer typically consists of a heat pump, drying room, hot air blower, cart, and trays. Apples are peeled, cored, and washed before being placed on trays. The drying temperature is generally between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius, and the drying time is adjusted according to the thickness of the slices, completing the drying process in 15 to 18 hours. Because the apple slices are dried in a static manner, their shape and color remain unchanged. Once the moisture content is reduced, they break easily when broken by hand. The drying effect is excellent.

The Blue Sky apple dryer ordered by a customer from Shanxi Province can not only dry apple slices, but also slices of crab apple, hawthorn, apricot, and orange. It can also preserve apples using a three-step steaming and three-step baking process. Preserved fruit requires a longer drying time, so the Blue Sky air-energy apple dryer is more energy-efficient than other equipment. For example, a 15P tobacco leaf dryer installed in Liaoning takes 4-5 days to dry, with a daily electricity bill of around 150 yuan. This reduces fuel costs by half compared to burning coal.
