Juice factories often produce large amounts of pomace, which may have an impact on the environment and must be dealt with appropriately. The most common way is to send it to farms as feed, but due to the high moisture content of the pomace, its storage time is limited and it cannot be stored for a long time. Therefore, juice factories need to find other ways to deal with pomace. One cost-effective way is to use a pomace dryer to dry the pomace and turn it into feed, which can even be used as biofuel.
The pomace dryer is a device used to process wet pomace. It can quickly evaporate the moisture in the pomace through heating and ventilation, and ultimately control the moisture content below 10%. Benefits of using a pomace dryer include saving storage space, reducing buildup and simplifying disposal. For best results, the pomace must first be compressed to reduce volume and increase drying efficiency.
Pomace dryers usually include a feeding system, heat exchanger, drying chamber, exhaust system and control system. In the feeding system, the pomace will be fed into the drying chamber and evenly distributed throughout the drying chamber through the conveyor belt. The heat exchanger uses gas or electric heating to transfer heat into the drying chamber to quickly evaporate the moisture in the pomace. The exhaust system is used to move water vapor out of the drying chamber and dryer to ensure that the humidity in the drying chamber is maintained at the appropriate level.
In the control system, the operator can control the drying process by adjusting the temperature, wind speed and feed volume. At the same time, the control system can also monitor the temperature, humidity and feed content in the drying chamber to help operators maintain optimal drying conditions and ensure the stability and safety of the drying process.
Because the pomace dryer has the characteristics of energy saving, environmental protection and high efficiency, it is widely used in processing pomace. The heat generated during the drying process can be recovered through the heat exchanger and used again to heat the drying chamber, thus reducing energy waste. In addition, the water vapor discharged during the drying process can be reused after purification, reducing the impact on the environment and realizing resource reuse.
In short, the pomace dryer is a mechanical equipment that effectively processes pomace and has important advantages in environmental protection and energy saving. By processing and utilizing pomace, we can not only reduce waste, but also generate some economic value.
