Modern dried fruit production line with SUNSAY freeze dryer

Consumer demand is increasingly moving towards convenient, safe and nutritious food, dried fruit is emerging as an inevitable trend in the food industry. Not only stopping at the domestic market, dried fruit products such as mango, banana, pineapple, jackfruit, strawberry… are being strongly exported to demanding markets such as Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States. To meet those strict quality standards, investing properly in a professional dried fruit production line is a prerequisite.

In the modern dried fruit production line, the freeze dryer plays the most important role – the “heart” of the entire line, directly determining the quality, color, flavor and nutritional value of the finished product. And among the leading brands in Vietnam today, SUNSAY freeze dryer is the first choice of hundreds of businesses, cooperatives and production households nationwide.

The price of dryers for agricultural cooperatives depends on capacity, drying technology and usage needs.

Why is the freeze dryer the center of the fruit drying line?

In a modern dried fruit production line, the processing includes many stages: selecting raw materials, washing, peeling, slicing, drying, packaging and labeling. In particular, the drying stage is the key point, deciding whether the product retains its natural flavor, bright color and nutritional value or not.

Conventional heat drying technology (from 60–80°C) often causes the product to shrink, turn black, lose vitamins or have a burnt taste, not meeting the high requirements of aesthetics and nutrition. In contrast, SUNSAY cold dryer operates at low temperatures (25–50°C), using a closed-loop moisture-separating heat pump system, helping the fruit to dry evenly, with beautiful color, without deformation and retaining nutrients.

This is especially important for sensitive fruits such as strawberries, oranges, kiwis, dragon fruits, or products that need to maintain a soft texture such as dried mango, dried banana, dried jackfruit, etc. Applying modern freeze dryers to the production line helps to increase product value, increase preservation time and create a clear competitive advantage in the market.
