Product Description

Blueberry juice production line industrial blueberry processing machine
 

The blueberry juice production line refers to an industrial setup designed specifically for the efficient and large-scale processing of blueberries into juice. 

This type of machinery typically includes a series of interconnected machines and systems that perform various stages of processing:

1. Receiving and Sorting: The process starts with receiving fresh blueberries and sorting them to remove debris, spoiled or unripe fruit.

2. Cleaning and Washing: Blueberries are thoroughly cleaned using water sprays and brushes to remove dirt, dust, and any pesticide residues.

3. Crushing and Pulping: Once clean, the blueberries are crushed to break open their skins and release the pulp and juice. A pulper or crusher is used for this purpose.

4. Juice Extraction: The crushed berries go through a juice extractor which can be a screw press or membrane press to separate the juice from the skins, seeds, and pulp.

5. Filtration: The extracted juice undergoes filtration to remove solids such as pulp, seeds, and fine particles. Depending on the desired clarity and quality, multiple stages of filtration may be employed, including screens, centrifuges, and/or filter presses.

6. Clarification: Further clarification might involve processes like sedimentation, flotation, or enzymatic treatment to improve color, taste, and shelf life.

7. Pasteurization/sterilization: To ensure food safety and extend shelf life, the juice is heated in a pasteurizer to kill bacteria, yeasts, and molds.

8. UHT Treatment (optional): Ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment can provide even longer shelf life without refrigeration.

9. Blending: The juice may be blended with other ingredients, sugar, or flavors at this stage.

10. Filling and Packaging: The final step involves filling the sterilized juice into bottles, cartons, or cans, then sealing and labeling them.

11. Cooling and Storage: The packaged juice products are cooled down before being stored and distributed.These steps can vary based on the specific requirements of the manufacturer, the scale of production, and the intended market.

 Industrial blueberry processing machines are designed to optimize efficiency while maintaining high standards of hygiene and product quality throughout the entire production process.

Blueberry Juice Processing Key Operational Points
Fresh Blueberry pretreatment
The system is including the cleaning and sorting of fresh blueberryes,crushing them into 3-5mm blueberry pieces,and then preheating them through a tubular preheater.The selection and cleaning process is of great significance to the quality and stability of the final blueberry juice.The preheating and crushing processes are important processes that affect the consistency of blueberry juice and the yield of juice.There are two crushing methods:hot break and cold break.Due to the low temperature of the cold-breaking sauce,the endogenous enzymes(mainly pectin tertiary enzymes)are not completely inactivated.The pectin is enzymatically hydrolyzed into short chains,and the viscosity will be low,but the flavor and color are good.The hot break enzyme is inactivated thoroughly,the pectin is less damaged,the viscosity is good,the flavor and color are poor.

Blueberry squeezing and juicing
Squeeze the crushed fruit pulp after heating,while removing the peel and seeds,it also adjusts the pulp particles.Generally,it can be operated by a screw juicer or a beater.The screw juicer squeezes the crushed pulp between the screw and the sieve to extract the juice,and the beater extracts the juice by impact,and the aperture of the sieve is about 0.4mm.The squeezing rate of good varieties of blueberry juice is 75%-80%.

Blueberry juice blending and seasoning
As a seasoning for blueberry juice,we can add wine vinegar,table salt,white sugar,lemon juice,etc.

Degassing,homogenization and sterilization of Blueberry juice
In the process of blueberry crushing and blending,the air is inevitably mixed in,so after the juice is squeezed and blended,the blueberry juice needs to be deaerated.At the same time,in order to refine the pulp particles and increase the consistency,a homogenizer can be used to make the blueberryes have a smooth feel through homogenization.blueberry juice contains pulp,which makes it a relatively viscous liquid.Therefore,it needs to be sterilized before filling.The HTST sterilization process is usually used(90-95ºC for 40-60S).The sterilized blueberry juice is orange-red,the sugar content is 4.3%,and the PH value is 4.4.

Filling and sealing of Blueberry juice
The containers used for blueberry juice are metal cans,glass bottles or PET bottles.The pre-sterilized blueberry juice is filled into a clean container.In order to prevent oxidation,it is necessary to quickly cool the sterilized blueberry juice to 85-89ºC and fill it into the container immediately.To prevent oxidation of the product,this filling method is called hot filling.It should be sealed immediately after filling.

Secondary pasteurization and packing of the blueberry juice
After the filling is completed,for the sake of safety,the blueberry juice needs to be sterilized twice,and the filled container is transported to the pasteurization tunnel or retort for secondary sterilization.The sterilization process is 90-95ºC for 15-20min.Then use cooling water to quickly cool the temperature of blueberry juice to below 35ºC for subsequent packaging.

We offer turnkey projects for blueberry processing plants,include process concentrated blueberry paste,blueberry puree,blueberry sauce,ketcup,blueberry powder and other blueberry products.
 

The products of the blueberry juice production line mainly include the following aspects:

1. Blueberry concentrated juice: a concentrated juice with a rich blueberry flavor and nutritional components obtained by soaking, squeezing, filtering, and concentrating blueberry fruits. This concentrated juice can be used to make fruit juice beverages, condiments, ice cream and other products.
2. Blueberry jam: Blueberry berries are processed by grinding, boiling, and adding sugar to create a jam with a rich blueberry flavor. Blueberry jam can be consumed directly and can also be used as an ingredient in foods such as bread, cookies, and yogurt.
3. Blueberry beverage: A blueberry flavored beverage made by using concentrated blueberry juice or blueberry berries through processes such as juice extraction, filtration, and blending. Blueberry drinks can be made from pure fruit juice or mixed with other fruits or additives.
4. Blueberry powder: Blueberry berries are processed by freezing, drying, and other processes to produce powdered blueberry products. Blueberry powder can be used to make health products, food additives, seasonings, etc.
5. Blueberry tea: Mix blueberry berries or concentrated blueberry juice with tea to make blueberry tea with blueberry aroma and tea taste. Blueberry tea can be bagged tea or loose tea.
