DRIED APRICOT

As the designer and manufacturer of dried apricot processing lines with over 30 years of experience, bigtem prides in having used the technological advancements to better respond to the customers’ needs, and thus has brought a fresh new perspective to the processing of dried apricots.

Since the apricots are exposed to insects and dust during sun-drying process and also in order to provide unique color and to extend the shelf life, apricots are sulphur-treated. Besides the sulphur balance system, which includes controlled heat, time and chemical concentration, washing system with jet sprays and pumping also attracts attention. By courtesy of special settings designed for brush washing system, the damage caused by the brushes on apricots is reduced to minimum levels.

With computer controlled drying and cooling tunnels, which protect the organoleptic properties of the products, there are also size grading, inspection, cutting and packaging systems far beyond the classic methods.
