Abstract
Five pilot-plant dewatering units were designed and tested. Two devices were based on surface contact with adsorption surfaces: either PVC rollers or a sponge roller-brush combination. Other units utilized aerodynamic forces to remove surface water from fruit conveyed on rod-type belting. Parameters used to evaluate whole fruit dewatering were water removal effectiveness (H2O removed/H2O input) and unit energy consumption (kJ/kg H2O removed).
