Orange Juice Processing Line Fruit Processing Machines
The orange juice processing production line is an automated or semi automated system that converts fresh oranges into drinkable orange juice. This process typically includes the following key steps:
1.
Reception and cleaning: Firstly, the harvested oranges are transported to the processing plant, where they are classified and damaged or non-standard fruits are removed. Next, the oranges are thoroughly cleaned with water flow or a brushing device to remove surface dirt and pesticide residues.
2.
Peeling and Juicing: • Peeling: Clean oranges enter the peeling machine, which separates the orange peel from the pulp through mechanical or steam heat treatment. This process is particularly crucial for producing clear orange juice without pulp particles Juicing: The peeled pulp is fed into a juicer and the juice is extracted by pressing or centrifugation. During this process, an appropriate amount of water may also be added to improve the juice extraction efficiency Filtering and clarification: The initial orange juice extracted contains pulp fibers, seeds, and other solid impurities, which need to be removed through a filter screen or centrifugal separator. To further enhance the transparency and taste of orange juice, enzyme treatment or physical clarification methods may be used, such as using adsorbents to remove pigments and bitter substances Sterilization and cooling: In order to ensure the safety of orange juice and extend its shelf life, clarified orange juice is quickly heated to high temperature for short-term sterilization (usually referred to as pasteurization), and then immediately cooled to prevent affecting taste and nutritional content.
3.
Filling and capping: After sterilization and cooling, the orange juice is filled into pre disinfected bottles, boxes or cans through sterile filling lines, and then quickly sealed to ensure that the product is packaged in a sterile environment.
Inspection and packaging: The finished orange juice also needs to undergo quality inspection, including taste, color, microbiological indicators, etc. After passing the inspection, it will be finally packaged, labeled, and stored in batches for distribution.
The entire orange juice processing process is highly automated, ensuring production efficiency and product quality stability. In addition, modern production lines also focus on energy conservation and environmental protection, reducing water and energy consumption, and striving to maintain the natural flavor and nutritional content of orange juice.
