After the orange pieces are put into the double-layered pot, hot water at 90-95°C is injected, and the mass ratio of the orange pieces to water is 1:1. When the water temperature in the double-layered pot reaches 48-50°C, stirring and heating are started, and when the temperature reaches 70-75°C, the heating is stopped. The stirring time for each batch of materials is 7-10 minutes. When it is found that the materials in the double-layered pot rotate slowly or not, hot water is added. When it is observed that the cysts are orange or the cysts of the orange pieces are completely separated, the stirring is stopped, and the materials are discharged into a buffer pool for later use;

[0006] (5) screening: conveying the materials in the buffer pool to a vibrating screening machine through a flow channel for screening;

[0007] (6) impurity removal: the fruit granules obtained by screening in step (5) are first passed through a dissolved air flotation fruit impurity separation machine to remove fruit impurities, then passed through a grating and hanging wire mechanism to remove wires, and finally passed through a flow channel water method to remove the fruit core;
