Stages of projects

A key to successful production is a well-designed dried fruit factory with good space utilization and accurate environment controls.

LTD “Innosystems” carry out the whole complex of works connected with the maintenance of a modern dried fruit factory.

The design of the dried fruit factory took into consideration different design criteria and parameters. Design parameters included environmental conditions of the factory location, drying temperature, amount of moisture to be removed, heat energy requirement and determination of airflow requirement.

To produce good quality dried fruit that are acceptable for both export and local consumption, there are several factors to consider. These include the following:  

• Careful transport and storage;
• Proficient preparation of produce;
• Correct loading and operation of the dryer;
• Drying to the correct final moisture content;
• Proper packaging and storage of the dried product;
• Achieving good product quality..

All steps in the total process must be efficient and process controlled, including hygiene. The factory must have a logical route with less transport in between. Keep dirty products separate from clean products. Once fruit is cleaned and washed it goes into a hygienic controlled area. Here, product is stoning and put on trays. In the same, but preferable a next room, products goes into the dryer. After drying, a next hygienic room is necessary for sorting and packaging. Final products must be stored in a cool and clean area.
