Apple Pomace Dryers

Apple Pomace Processing Systems

Apple pomace is the solid remains of apples after they have been milled and pressed for apple puree, apple juice, or cider. Apple pomace contains the peel, flesh, stem, core, seeds, and some juice residues. Apple pomace has a wide variety of uses. Some of these include fuel, direct burning, gasification, anaerobic digestion, pectin production, citric acid production, fiber extraction, and livestock feed. Some of the food that it can make includes pomace jam, sauce, and confectionary products.

Traditionally, apple pomace was used, and is still used, to feed livestock as a way to get rid of the co-product after gathering the juice for its original purpose. There is an abundance of apple pomace after processing and is at risk for spoiling. Thus, it is often dehydrated for preservation purposes. The ONIX Corporation’s Rotary Drum Dryers have the ability to help with this process.

Apples are the second most harvested fruit in the world. There is a great deal of uses for apples other than harvesting the fruit straight from the tree to eat. Out of all the apples used nearly 25% of apples are processed for its juice or cider with apple pomace being the co-product of that process. In 2011 alone, it was estimated that 16 million tons of fresh apple pomace was produced. It’s usually a seasonal product that is primarily available during apple harvest season.
