Complete Fruit Juice Processing Line Flow
Our turnkey fruit juice production line covers every critical step from raw fruit to finished bottled product:
- Receiving & Feeding: Intake conveyors and hoppers with surge capacity for smooth operation during peak harvest seasons.
- Washing & Cleaning: High-efficiency multi-stage washing systems (1–5 m³/h water) that thoroughly remove dirt, pesticides, and contaminants while preserving fruit quality.
- Crushing & Juice Extraction: Efficient crushers and presses designed for maximum yield while avoiding bitterness and preserving natural flavor and nutrients.
- Filtration & Clarification: Multi-stage filtration systems to remove pulp and solids for clear, premium juice or controlled pulp retention for cloudy varieties.
- Pasteurization: Continuous flash pasteurizers (85–95°C for 15–30 seconds) or hot-fill systems for food safety and extended shelf life.
- Cooling: Rapid cooling units to lock in freshness, color, and taste before filling.
- Bottling & Filling: Precision fillers and cappers for glass bottles, PET bottles, cartons, or pouches at 20–80 bottles per minute.
- Labeling & Final Packaging: Automated labeling, case packing, and palletizing systems for retail or foodservice distribution.
