Large Scale Dried Apple Chips Making Processing Plant

Apple chips are becoming more and more popular as a healthy food that is easy to carry and has a crispy taste. Processing fresh apples into apple chips can not only extend the shelf life of apples and reduce post-harvest losses, but also greatly increase the added value of apples. Therefore, we designed this efficient and intelligent apple chips processing plant.

Apple Chips Making Process:

Apple cleaning: Fresh apples without diseases and insect pests are selected as raw materials. They are first passed through a apple washingmachine to remove mud, residual pesticides and other impurities on the peel to ensure that the raw materials are clean and hygienic.
Slicing: The apple slices are evenly sliced using a slicer. The thickness of the apple slices is generally controlled at 3-5 mm. The uniform thickness is conducive to the subsequent drying process, ensuring that the finished apple chipshave a consistent color and taste.
Drying: This is a key step in apple chipsprocessing and determines the final quality of the product. The sliced apples are evenly placed on a drying tray and placed in a apple chips dehydrator for low-temperature dehydration. The temperature and humidity are properly controlled to gradually reduce the moisture content and retain the original flavor and nutrition of the apples.

Core Equipment – Apple Chips Dehydrator

The apple chips dehydrator is the core equipment in the entire apple chips processing plant. Compared with the traditional drying method, this machine has many advantages:

Intelligent temperature and humidity control: The equipment is equipped with an intelligent control system, which can automatically adjust the temperature and humidity according to the set program to ensure the same drying effect for each batch of apple chips.
Low-temperature drying, retaining nutrients: The heat pump drying temperature is generally controlled between 40℃-65℃, effectively retaining the vitamins, dietary fiber and natural fruit aroma in apples.
Easy operation and high degree of automation: Just set the parameters to achieve automatic continuous operation, greatly saving labor costs.

Auxiliary Equipment of Apple Chips Making Machine:

In addition to the apple chips dehydrator, the apple chips processing plant is also equipped with a variety of equipment to improve the overall production efficiency and product quality:

Apple washing machine: thoroughly remove impurities on the surface of the apple to improve the cleanliness of the raw materials.
Lifting conveying equipment: realize the automatic transfer of apples between different processes, reduce manual handling, and improve production continuity.
Slicer: equipped with adjustable blades, controllable slice thickness, neat cut surface, not easy to break, high efficiency.
Picking platform: manual or automatic identification system removes defective apple chips to ensure the quality of the finished product.
