Processing fresh apples into apple juice can not only extend the shelf life, but also increase its added value and reduce the waste caused by the concentrated listing of apples during the picking season. Apple juice processing not only meets the diversified needs of the market, but also creates a new profit growth point for fruit farmers and processing companies. The apple juice production line is the core system for realizing deep processing and large-scale production of apples.
Apple Juice Production Process:
The production process of apple juice mainly includes the following steps: cleaning, crushing, enzyme inactivation, juicing and sterilization.
- Cleaning: Remove the surface sand, impurities and residual pesticides from the apples.
- Crushing: Crush the whole apples into particles, which is conducive to subsequent enzyme treatment and juicing.
- Enzyme inactivation: Inactivate polyphenol oxidase by heating to prevent browning of apple juice and maintain the color of apple juice.
- Juicing: Extract as much juice as possible from the pulp to increase the juice yield.
- Sterilization: Eliminate possible bacteria in apple juice to ensure product safety and extend shelf life.
Apple Juice Making Machines:
1. Apple washing machine
Made of food-grade 304 stainless steel, it has a solid structure, strong corrosion resistance, long service life, and meets food safety standards. The washing machine adopts a two-stage design, with the front section for rough washing and the back section for fine washing. The spiral conveying mechanism is used to achieve continuous conveying and tumbling washing of apples. The built-in soft brush system effectively removes dirt and residual impurities on the surface of the apple.
2. Crushing machine
The hammer-type structure is adopted and made of high-quality SUS304 stainless steel. The parts in contact with apples are safe and hygienic, and do not affect the quality of apple juice. The crushing particle size can be adjusted according to the process needs to adapt to apples of different varieties and maturity.
3. Apple juicing machine
This machine is the important machine in the apple juice concentrate production line can automatically remove apple pomace and ensure the quality of juice. It can be equipped with pectinase treatment system or secondary pressing device to further improve the juice yield.
4. Sterilizer
The sterilization system adopts a tubular structure design, which is specially designed for sterilizing juice and pulp. The equipment is equipped with a heat recovery device, which can save energy and water by about 30% compared with traditional sterilization equipment, and has significant economic benefits. In addition, the sterilization time is short, the flow rate is fast, and there is no dead corner for hygiene.
Apple Juice Production Line Features:
- High degree of automation: All equipment in the apple juice concentrate production line are linked and operated through a PLC centralized control system, greatly reducing the intensity of manual operation.
- Modular design: Each device can be flexibly configured and expanded according to actual production needs.
- High juice yield and stable quality: By optimizing the equipment structure and process flow, the quality of apple juice is ensured to be consistent, and the production capacity can reach 4ton/h.
