Key process of the apple processing line

Now Shanghai Gofun machinery company will introduce the information of apple pulp puree or apple paste concentrate processing line to show it works.

1. Discharge platform

When fresh apples arrive, they are usually unloaded by large trucks. So design a discharge platform and use water gun to discharge the fresh apples from the truck and use water to deliver the fresh apples to the processing line. The discharge platform also has another feature, allowing pre-washing of fresh apples before processing.

2. Elevator

This machine is used to delivery fresh apple from outside the building to inside.

3. Washing

Before removing the skin and seeds from fresh apples, the fresh fruit must be carefully washed. Additional stages of cleaning can be added if cleaning requirements are high. In addition, ultrasonic cleaning and ozone cleaning can be added to enhance the cleaning effect.

4. Sorting

After washing, the surface of apple is clean, we can check the situation of all the fruit by human eye, and sort out the bad apples by human.

5. Crushing

GFM-FC series crushers have the most advanced working principle, higher manufacturing precision and best crushing capability. Mainly used for crushing different kinds of fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, apples, pears, strawberries, celery, etc. Raw materials can be rushed into small particles, which can enhance the working effect of the next processing section. The machine consists of feed hopper, side cover, frame, main shaft, bearing block, motor, motor structure, outlet hopper, etc.

6. Preheating

The pre-heater is used to heat the product after crusher, the temperature is adjustable, normally from 45℃ to 85℃. This processing step, would help to higher the juice rate for next step, and also can protect the color and taste of the final product.

7. Belt type juice extractor

Gofun company mastered foreign advanced technology to manufacture belt press. This is an efficient press and is very important as it can increase the juice capacity during the processing of fruit or vegetable juices.Used for squeezing fruits and vegetables such as apples, pears, etc. The juice rate is over 70%.Energy saving and automatic control.

9. Sterilizing

A tube-in type sterilizer is used to sterilize apple pulp puree and apple paste. Sterilization temperature and holding time are adjustable. The machine holds the product at a very high temperature of about 115°C for 30 seconds and then immediately cools it to ambient temperature. In this way, the taste and nutrients of the apple pulp puree or apple paste concentrate can also be preserved as much as possible. The whole system adopts programmable control. The operation system uses an image man-machine interface that is convenient for intuitively grasping the operation status of each part of the device.

10. Aseptic Filling

The aseptic filling machine works together with the tube in tube type sterilizer. It’s a closed cycle. Before production, the cycle will be fully sterilized to make sure the aseptic environment. And the filling cavity is also protected by steam to make sure the filling environment is also aseptic. Safety - providing several security methods. Using mirror welding tech to ensure tidy and smooth welding line. Separate control panel. CIP and auto SIP available together with sterilizer. Easy to adjust to match the different volumes and sizes of aseptic bags.

11. Storage or go blending

The finished product can be stored or used as the raw material to make the apple sauce or ketchup.
