Kiwi Processing Value Chain

FRESH KIWI WASH SORT SLICE LOAD SOLAR DRY GRADE PACK MARKET

A Solar Kiwi Dryer can help fruit growers and processors convert fresh kiwi into dried and value-added products with improved storage and handling characteristics.

Drying Conditions

The 5080C figure represents the typical system operating range, not a fixed kiwi-drying setpoint. Actual drying temperature and duration depend on kiwi maturity, initial moisture, slice thickness, tray loading, airflow, ambient humidity, solar radiation and required final moisture. Product-specific trials are recommended to establish the appropriate drying conditions.
