1. General description
Le dried fruit rehydrator is industrial equipment designed for controlled, reproducible rehydration dried fruit (prunes, apricots, grapes, figs, etc.). It restores the texture, volume and organoleptic qualities of the fruit, while making it easier to process further.
2. Technical specifications
2.1. Operating principle
- Automated soaking tanks A system of stainless steel or food-grade containers with precise control of temperature, immersion time and agitation.
- Controlling rehydration Automatic regulation of water time and temperature for consistent, reproducible rehydration.
- Conveyage and draining Possible integration of a conveyor to transfer the fruit to the next stages (cutting, packaging, etc.).
2.2 Key components
- Soaking tanks In food-grade stainless steel, corrosion-resistant, with automated emptying and cleaning system.
- Heating/cooling system Maintaining the optimum temperature for effective rehydration.
- Automation Programming of soaking cycles, flow management and integration into existing production lines.
- Health and safety Compliance with food standards (HACCP, CE, etc.), easy-to-clean and disinfect materials.
2.3. Performance
- Capacity Adaptable to suit requirements (from 50 kg to several tonnes per hour).
- Rehydration time Adjustable according to the type of fruit and the desired level of rehydration.
- Energy consumption Optimised for maximum efficiency.
3. Commercial advantages
3.1. For the food industry
- Restoring texture and volume Rehydrated fruit has a texture similar to fresh, softer and easier to work with.
- Improved organoleptic qualities Reducing acidity and astringency, reactivating aromas for a tastier end product.
- Facilitating transformation Easier cutting, mixing and incorporation into preparations (pasta, fillings, compotes, etc.).
- Reduced cooking time Save time and energy in the kitchen or in industrial production.
- Stabilisation of weight and yield Precise control of final weight, essential for packaging and recipe standardisation.
3.2. For Foodservice Professionals
- Time saving Quick, even preparation of fruit for dishes or desserts.
- Consistent quality Reproducible results, whatever the volume treated.
- Versatility Suitable for all types of dried fruit (prunes, apricots, raisins, etc.).
4. Applications
- Food industry Production line integration for the manufacture of desserts, cereal bars, fillings, etc.
- Collective catering Preparing ready meals, desserts or side dishes.
- Craftsmen and processors Pastries, confectionery, catering.
5. Options and Customisation
- Integration into an existing production line Adapting to spatial and technical constraints.
- Advanced automation PLC control, touchscreen interface, real-time parameter monitoring.
- Materials Choice of stainless steel, food-grade plastic or other suitable materials.
6. Standards and certifications
- Compliance with standards EC, HACCP, ISO 9001.
- Materials food-safe and corrosion-resistant.
- Easy to clean and maintain.
