Drying, Juice and Extraction Plants for Algerian Processors

Dates

Dates are grown in traditional regions such as Souf and Oued Rhir; the fruit is sorted, destoned and extracted, with the liquor concentrated into syrup or paste, so the mapped date product is relevant here.

Orchard fruit

Fruit trees are among the major irrigated crops on Algeria's irrigation schemes; surplus and lower grades can be pressed into juice, then concentrated to cut storage and transport volume, so the mapped juice products are worth discussing.

Figs

Figs thrive in mountainous and semi-arid regions where farmers keep local varieties and traditional processing methods; controlled hot-air or solar-assisted drying is an alternative route to a consistent dried fruit.

Vegetables for dehydration

Vegetables are among the major irrigated crops on Algeria's irrigation schemes; they can be washed, sliced and dried, and solar-assisted dryers may reduce fuel use, so the mapped dehydration product is worth discussing.

Also relevant, shown above: Industrial Hot-Air Drying Systems; Solar-Assisted Drying Systems.

Herbs and aromatic plants

Herbs and aromatic plants, whether gathered or grown, can be dried, steam-distilled for oil, or extracted into concentrated botanical products in multi-herb extraction lines.

Milk

Liquid milk can be pre-concentrated in an evaporator and then spray-dried into a powder that stores and ships more easily than fresh milk, where collection is organised.
