What is Pomace Dryer Machine?
Fruit pomace is the main by-product of fruit juice, jam and wine processing industries. Common types include apple pomace, grape pomace, orange peel residue, kiwifruit pomace and other fruit residues. Fresh pomace features ultra-high moisture, rich fruit sugar, dietary fiber, vitamins and natural active ingredients, which has extremely high recycling value for animal feed production.
However, fresh wet pomace is extremely easy to ferment, acidify and mildew within 24 hours under natural environment. Traditional high-temperature dryers often cause sugar caramelization, material scorching, dark discoloration and massive vitamin loss, greatly reducing feed grade and commercial value. Our professional Pomace Dryer Machine adopts targeted low-temperature mild drying and anti-caking dispersion design, which perfectly adapts to sticky high-sugar fruit pomace, retains maximum nutrition and natural color, and realizes large-scale, stable and high-value pomace resource recycling.

Complete Equipment Composition of Pomace Dryer Machine
1. Pomace Special Anti-Stick Drying Host (Core)
The main drying cylinder is upgraded for sticky fruit pomace, equipped with customized flexible lifting plates and automatic scraping devices. During operation, it continuously flips, disperses and combs agglomerated pomace, completely eliminating wall sticking, accumulation and local overheating. The optimized 3-pass nested energy-saving structure forms uniform hot air circulation, avoiding dead-angle drying and ensuring consistent dehydration effect of each pomace particle.
2. Pomace Pre-Breaking & Uniform Feeding System
Fresh pomace is soft, wet and easy to agglomerate. The matched pre-breaking feeding device crushes bulk pomace clusters in advance, disperses tangled and stacked materials, and realizes quantitative and uniform feeding. It effectively solves feeding bridging, intermittent blanking and uneven hot air contact, laying a foundation for anti-caking and uniform drying of high-sugar pomace.
3. Low-Temp Anti-Caramelization Gradient Drying System
Exclusive three-stage mild drying process for sugar-containing fruit pomace: low-temperature pre-dehumidification to remove surface water and stabilize sugar components; medium-temperature uniform deep dehydration to evaporate internal bound water; constant-temperature cooling shaping to lock natural color and flavor. The whole process avoids high-temperature sugar decomposition and caramelization, maximizing retention of pomace nutrition and taste.
4. Waste Heat Recovery & Fine Dust Purification System
The whole machine adopts fully sealed micro-negative pressure operation to prevent fine pomace powder overflow. Equipped with high-efficiency pulse dust removal equipment, the material recovery rate is up to 99.5% without waste loss. The waste heat circulating recovery device recycles exhaust hot air for secondary heating, reducing comprehensive energy consumption by more than 40%, realizing energy-saving, clean and environmentally friendly drying production.
5. Intelligent Pomace Adaptive PLC Control System
Presets professional parameter models for apple, grape, citrus and other different pomace types. The system can automatically adjust drying temperature, drum speed and air volume according to material moisture and viscosity. It supports 24-hour unmanned continuous operation, with over-temperature anti-scorch protection and fault self-alarm functions, ensuring stable and high-quality finished pomace in every batch.
Core Product Advantages of Pomace Dryer Machine
1. Special Anti-Stick & Anti-Caking Design for Pomace
Aiming at the high viscosity and easy-caking characteristics of fruit pomace, the combination of pre-dispersion system and dynamic scraping structure fundamentally solves wall sticking and material accumulation problems. No frequent shutdown cleaning is required, and the continuous operation efficiency is 35% higher than that of ordinary dryers, fully adapting to long-term industrial batch pomace drying.
2. Low-Temp Anti-Caramelization & Nutrition Retention
Abandons traditional high-temperature rapid baking mode. The gradient mild drying process strictly controls the safe temperature range for sugar-containing materials, effectively preventing sugar caramelization, pomace scorching and dark discoloration. The finished pomace retains natural fruit flavor, rich vitamins and dietary fiber, with higher feed palatability and market competitiveness.
3. Universal Adaptation for All Kinds of Fruit Pomace
This dryer is not limited to a single material, and can stably dry apple pomace, grape pomace, citrus pomace, pear pomace, hawthorn pomace and various mixed fruit residues. One machine for multiple purposes, strong material adaptability, greatly improving equipment utilization rate and reducing enterprise investment cost.
4. Ultra Energy-Saving & Low Operating Cost
The 3-pass heat preservation structure reduces heat dissipation loss, and the waste heat recovery system significantly improves thermal efficiency. The comprehensive energy saving rate is more than 40% higher than traditional single-cylinder dryers. Optional multiple clean heat sources such as biomass and natural gas, with low failure rate and simple maintenance, effectively reducing long-term production costs.
5. Stable Moisture & Long Storage Period
Precise intelligent constant temperature control ensures uniform internal and external dehydration of pomace. The finished moisture is stably controlled at 10%-12% commercial standard, which can effectively prevent secondary fermentation, mildew and sugar crystallization during storage and transportation, greatly extending the shelf life of dried pomace products.
6. Full-Auto & Easy Operation
Integrated automatic feeding, drying, dust removal and discharging process. The intelligent PLC system realizes unmanned continuous operation, with simple operation and few wearing parts. It is very suitable for large-scale, long-term and standardized pomace resource recycling projects of fruit processing enterprises.
Working Principle & Production Process of Pomace Dryer Machine
Working Principle
The Pomace Dryer Machine adopts low-temperature gradient anti-caramelization drying principle for high-sugar viscous fruit pomace. Fresh wet pomace is sent to the pre-breaking system to crush bulk agglomerates and disperse tangled materials to ensure stable and uniform feeding.
The loose pomace enters the special anti-stick drying drum stably. With the rotation of the drum, the flexible lifting and scraping devices continuously flip and scatter the pomace to avoid wall sticking and local accumulation. Through three-stage gradient low-temperature hot air circulation, the pomace completes surface dehumidification, deep dehydration and cooling shaping in turn. Finally, the dry, bright and high-nutrient feed-grade pomace is discharged, realizing efficient and loss-free drying and recycling of fruit residues.
Standard Production Flow
Fresh Fruit Pomace Feeding → Pre-Breaking & Anti-Caking Dispersion → Uniform Quantitative Feeding → Anti-Stick Continuous Drying → Low-Temp Anti-Caramelization Dehydration → Waste Heat Recovery & Dust Purification → Constant-Temp Shaping → Dry Pomace Discharging → Animal Feed Processing & Sales
