A client from USA purchased our orange processing plant to build his orange juice processing plant, realizing value enhancement from farm to juice. This USA client owns a large-scale orange plantation, but every harvest season, a large number of oranges rot and decline in quality due to limitations in harvesting, transportation, and short-term storage conditions. Although the total annual orange production is considerable, approximately 200 tons of oranges are lost due to the inability to process them in a timely manner, resulting in economic losses for the plantation.
The client realized that instead of letting oranges sit unsold during harvest season, it would be better to process them into orange juice to increase their added value. In particular, oranges with poor shape or surface blemishes, while unsuitable for fresh sale, were perfectly fine for juicing. Therefore, the client decided to invest in building an orange juice processing plant, enabling the full-chain utilization of oranges from planting and harvesting to processing.
After multiple rounds of communication, we recommended orange processing equipment suitable for the client’s production needs, including: orange washing machines, orange sorting machines, crushing and juicing machines, sterilization equipment, and orange juice filling machines.
These equipment enables a fully automated processing flow from raw material intake to finished orange juice, not only improving production efficiency but also ensuring the hygiene, safety, and consistent quality of the orange juice.
These highly automated machines are suitable for processing large quantities of raw materials, meeting the demands of concentrated processing during peak seasons, and effectively utilizing defective and substandard fruit to improve raw material utilization.This collaboration not only helped our American client upgrade their production but also demonstrated the significant role of deep processing of agricultural products in reducing waste and increasing value.
