Introduction to dried apricot：

  Dried apricots are sweet and soft. Almonds are crispy and delicious. They have the function of invigorating the blood and replenishing qi and increasing calories. They are rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin C, vitamin E and other ingredients. Dried apricots are made by processes such as washing, core removal, dehydration, pressure soaking in sugar, low-temperature processing, and packaging.

Dried apricot processing steps：

1. Cleaning
Wash the fresh apricots that meet the requirements with water and drain the water.
2. De-core
After the fresh apricots are drained, cut with a stainless steel knife along the suture of the pulp, dig out the apricot core, rinse the pulp with clean water, and put it into the basket.
3. Sulphur fumigation
Put the basket or bamboo curtain with the apricot slices into the heavy room, put it on the wooden frame, pour the burning charcoal into the iron pan in the center of the house, and sprinkle the sulfur (1000kg apricot slices with 4kg sulfur) quickly On the charcoal, leave the smokehouse immediately, then seal the doors and windows tightly, smoke for about 2 hours, when the fruit slices are yellow and translucent, then open the doors and windows for ventilation. When the air is fully exchanged, move the apricot slices outside to dry for 1-2 hours, and then dry.

Dried apricot drying process：

  The apricot slices are sent to the drying room, laid out layer by layer on the wooden frame, and then the doors and windows are closed for drying. During the first 4-6 hours, the temperature is maintained at 40°C-50°C, and then gradually increased to 70°C-80°C. As the moisture in the apricot slices evaporates and the indoor humidity increases, the ventilation should be opened in time to remove water vapor, and the closing time should be controlled according to the dry humidity in the drying room and the degree of drying of the apricot slices. During the drying process, the apricot slices on the upper and lower layers of the grill should be replaced to make them evenly heated, and strive to dry the same batch of raw materials at the same time. The drying time is generally 24-36 hours. If the temperature and humidity are not properly controlled, the drying time will be extended. Such products have poor color and low quality.

Recommendation of dried apricot dryer/drying machine

Commercial 100-3000kg/h large amount of dehydration wide application and easy operation

  Heat pump drying machine use the principle of inverse Carnot cycle. It absorbs low-temperature heat energy in the air, which becomes high-temperature heat energy after efficient heat collection and integration by the heat pump system, and is transported to the drying room for cyclic heating and drying of materials.It refers to exhausting the hot and humid air in the drying room directly to the outside of the drying room through dehumidification device, and then replenishing natural fresh air.

  Hot air circle drying machine belongs to high temperature heat pump unit. Its working principle is: the working fluid of the heat pump is compressed by the compressor, becomes high temperature and high pressure gas, enters the condenser, condenses and liquefies the heat, and is used for air heating in the drying room. The moisture in the material is vaporized and evaporated by the form of hot air, and the evaporated water vapor is discharged by the moisture discharge system, thereby achieving the purpose of drying the drying material.
