Commercial-Grade Orange Peel Dehydrator & Multi-Fruit Dryer with Heat Pump Technology
In the competitive landscape of food processing, the MeiYa Heat Pump Dehydrator revolutionizes the drying of citrus byproducts like orange peels and multi-fruit blends, combining energy efficiency with industrial-scale precision. Designed for commercial facilities, nutraceutical manufacturers, and organic food exporters, this system addresses the unique challenges of preserving bioactive compounds while meeting global sustainability standards.
Core Technology & Innovations
- Heat Pump-Driven Efficiency
Leveraging low-grade energy recovery and variable-frequency humidity control, the dehydrator reduces energy consumption by 60–70% compared to conventional dryers. For orange peels (high in fiber and essential oils), the system operates at 35–65°C—preventing thermal degradation of limonene and vitamin C while maintaining vibrant color and antioxidant properties. - Multi-Fruit Compatibility
• Orange Peel Processing: Adjustable airflow (up to 23,500 m³/h) ensures uniform drying of thick peels, critical for producing zest, dietary fiber additives, or natural flavorings.
• Hybrid Drying: Simultaneously process apples, grapes, and tropical fruits with programmable profiles to retain texture and nutrients (e.g., polyphenols in apple slices). - Nutrient Preservation
• Bioactive Retention: Low-temperature cycles preserve 85–90% of vitamin C and flavonoids in orange peels, aligning with nutraceutical standards for functional food ingredients.
• Thermal Degradation Mitigation: Advanced heat distribution models prevent caramelization of sugars in fruits like mangoes and pineapples.
Industrial Applications & Advantages
- Orange Peel Valorization
• Waste-to-Wealth: Convert citrus processing byproducts into high-value products:
◦ Essential Oils: Dehydrated peels retain limonene for cosmetics and aromatherapy.
◦ Dietary Fiber: Grind dried peels into soluble fiber for baked goods and supplements.
• Case Study: A European juice manufacturer reduced waste disposal costs by 40% by integrating MeiYa’s system to process 2 tons of peels daily. - Multi-Fruit Processing Flexibility
• Snack Production: Dry apple rings, banana chips, and pineapple chunks in hybrid batches, with moisture content reduced to 8–12% for shelf-stable packaging.
• Nutraceutical Ingredients: Produce antioxidant-rich powders from berries and citrus blends for health supplements. - Sustainability & Compliance
• Energy Savings: Heat recovery technology cuts CO₂ emissions by 50%, qualifying for EU Green Deal subsidies.
• Certifications: Compliant with HACCP, ISO22000, and organic standards, ensuring export readiness to North America and Europe.
Technical Specifications
• Capacity: 300 kg to 5 tons/day (modular configurations)
• Temperature Range: 35–100°C (adaptable to heat-sensitive biomaterials)
• Power: 380V/50Hz, 18 kW heating capacity
