Olive pomace is a solid byproduct generated during the pressing of fresh olives to extract olive oil. It mainly consists of olive peel, pits, remaining pulp residue, and a small amount of unextracted oil. Direct disposal would result in resource waste and environmental pollution; therefore, it needs to be processed and transformed into a resource-efficient product through a specialized production line.

The core processes of the olive pomace processing production line include pretreatment, drying, and finished product processing. The pomace dryer is the key equipment: it first pre-treats the pomace by crushing and removing impurities, such as large pits; then, the pomace is fed into the dryer, where drum drying or hot air circulation technology reduces the moisture content to below 10%, lowering storage and transportation costs and creating conditions for subsequent utilization.

Dried olive pomace has multiple high-value applications:

1. Biomass Energy: It can be compressed into biomass pellet fuel, which has a stable calorific value and is clean and environmentally friendly, replacing traditional fossil fuels for industrial heating or residential heating;

2. Livestock Feed: After detoxification and crushing, it can be used as a supplementary raw material for ruminant animal feed, providing livestock with dietary fiber and other nutrients;

3. Organic Fertilizer: After composting, it can be made into organic fertilizer, which can be reused in orchards or farmland to improve soil fertility and achieve an ecological cycle in olive cultivation;
