Description

food and Beverages Lines from concentrate to Juice Processing Machinery

Fruit Juices are made from fruit pulp/concentrate. Artificial sugar may or may not be added to the juice extracted.

The sugar syrup is prepared first in jacketed mixing tank and then it is mixed with fruit pulp, water along with other ingredients like flavor, color, preservatives etc. in the other mixing tank.
This mixture is pasteurized to remove any microbial growth from it and later on homogenized to prepare a uniform blend of juice.

Sun Engineers also helps the Agro food industry in the transformation of their agricultural products into other products other than juices. Please see our agro-food section.

The process of making juice varies from factory to factory. Juice can be made out of fresh fruit, vegetables, concentrate, frozen fruit paste or aseptic mix. If produced from fresh fruit, all the equipment for fruit and vegetable storage, selection, cleaning and extraction need to be corresponding. This means that a different processing line for fresh fruit and vegetable extracting is required.

If made out of concentrate or aseptic mix paste the ingredients go straight to the mixing and blending units where they are mixed in either a batch or a continuous system. Nowadays manufacturers tend to produce numerous different juice varieties resulting from an assortment of concentrates or fruits. The same production line can be used to produce different types of juices. CIP systems can guarantee complete hygiene throughout the entire process whilst using the same production line for different products.

When it comes to orange juice, another process is involved as the enzymes have to de deactivated before the liquid can be pasteurized. In certain processes a homogenize might also be required to guarantee the homogenized mixture of the ingredients.

Most juices are packed in aseptic packaging. Those that are intended to be kept and stored in the fridge are packed using ultra clean packing technology, and those that come in glass bottles are usually hot filled.

By products or waste products that result from the production of juices – such as pulp – can also be reproduced to create dehydrated feed for livestock, pectin for use in making jellies, citric acid, essential oils, molasses, and candied peel. Certain fractions of orange oil (known as d-limonene), have excellent solvent properties and are sold for use in industrial cleaners.
