Pineapple jam is a fruit jam product made from fresh, ripe pineapples as the main ingredient, processed through a series of steps including peeling, coring, crushing, grinding, and cooking. Pineapple jam is widely used in baked goods, confectionery, and as a condiment in the food service industry. A pineapple jam production line, through scientifically and rationally designed processes, can improve production efficiency and stabilize product quality, helping processing companies enhance their market competitiveness.
Main Processing Steps for Pineapple Jam Production:
1. Pineapple raw material selection
The quality of pineapple jam depends primarily on the quality of the raw materials, which must be carefully selected to avoid using pineapples that are mechanically damaged, rotten, moldy, or diseased.
2. Peeling and coring
Using a pineapple peeling and coring machine allows for the quick removal of the outer skin and hard core of the pineapple, resulting in higher peeling and coring efficiency and reduced labor costs. This is an important step in the pineapple jam production line.
3. Washing
After peeling and coring the pineapple, it needs to be washed to remove any remaining pieces of peel.
4. Crushing and grinding
The pineapples are crushed into small particles using a crusher, and then the fruit pulp is further refined using a grinder to make the pineapple jam smoother and more uniform in texture.
5. Boiling and mixing
Boiling is one of the key steps in the pineapple jam production line. The ground pineapple is transferred to a jacketed kettle for heating and boiling. During this process, appropriate amounts of sugar, pectin, citric acid, or other food-grade additives are usually added according to the recipe to adjust the sweetness, acidity, and consistency of the jam. With continuous stirring and heating, the pineapple jam gradually thickens.
Pineapple Jam Making Equipment:
A complete pineapple jam production line typically consists of the following core equipment, which work together to achieve efficient and continuous production:
This equipment is specifically designed for pineapples and automatically performs peeling and coring operations. It features fast processing speed, high yield, and low waste.
2. Washing machine
The pineapple is thoroughly cleaned using a bubbling method, ensuring the raw materials are clean and providing a good foundation for subsequent processing.
3. Crusher
The crusher is used to break down the cleaned pineapple pulp into small particles. It features a robust structure and stable operation, and the crushing size can be adjusted according to production requirements.
4. Grinding machine
A grinder can further refine the pineapple pulp, resulting in a smoother pineapple jam. However, if you are making jam that contains chunks of pineapple, then a grinder is not an essential piece of equipment for making pineapple jam.
5. Jacketed kettle
The jacketed kettle is the core making equipment in the pineapple jam production line, combining heating, stirring, and cooking functions. Made of high-quality stainless steel, it ensures even heating and easy operation.
