1. Raw material processing equipment

　　cleaning machineUsed for cleaning oranges, removing surface dirt, pesticide residues, etc. Common cleaning methods include bubble cleaning, brush cleaning, etc.

　　Picking tableManual or automatic sorting equipment used to remove unqualified oranges (such as rotten or damaged fruits)

Juice extraction equipment

　　juicerSqueezing oranges to extract juice. Common types of juicers include:

　　Drum type juicerExtract juice by squeezing oranges.

　　Spiral juicerSqueezing oranges through a screw propeller is suitable for large-scale production.

　　Whole fruit juicerCan squeeze the entire orange (including the skin) to extract more juice and aroma components.

　　peeling machine(Optional): If the peeling and juicing process is used, the peeling machine can remove the orange skin and reduce bitterness.

　　3. Filtering and Separation Equipment

　　filterUsed to remove pulp, pomace, and seeds from fruit juice to ensure its clarity. Common filtration equipment includes vibrating screens, centrifugal filters, etc.

　　Centrifugal separatorBy high-speed rotation, solid particles and liquids in the juice are separated to further improve the purity of the juice.

　　4. Sterilization and sterilization equipment

　　PasteurizerAdopting low-temperature sterilization technology to maintain the nutritional content and flavor of orange juice, while killing harmful microorganisms.

　　Ultra high temperature instantaneous sterilizer (UHT)Kill all microorganisms in a short period of time under high temperature, extending the shelf life of orange juice.

　　5. Concentrating and blending equipment

　　concentration equipment(Optional): Used for producing concentrated orange juice, which reduces volume by evaporating some water, making it easier to store and transport.

　　mixing tankUsed to adjust the taste and composition of orange juice, such as adding sugar, acidity regulators, etc.

　　6. Filling and packaging equipment

　　Filling machineFill orange juice into bottles, cardboard boxes, cans, and other containers. Common filling methods include:

　　aseptic fillingSuitable for long-term storage of orange juice.

　　Room temperature fillingSuitable for products with short shelf life.

　　sealing machineUsed to seal the bottle or box mouth, ensuring the hygiene and freshness of orange juice.

　　Labeling MachineLabel the packaging container with product information.

　　packaging machineBox or pack the filled orange juice for easy transportation and sales.

　　7. Automated control system

　　PLC control systemUsed for automating the operation of the entire production line, ensuring coordinated work of various equipment, and improving production efficiency.

　　Testing equipmentSuch as metal detection machines, weight detection machines, etc., used to ensure product quality and safety.

　　8. auxiliary equipment

　　conveyor beltUsed to transport oranges and orange juice between various production processes.

　　cooling equipmentUsed for quickly cooling orange juice after sterilization to maintain its taste and nutritional content.

　　CIP cleaning systemUsed for automatic cleaning and disinfection of production lines to ensure the hygiene of the production environment.

　　9. Environmental protection equipment

　　Wastewater treatment equipmentTreat the wastewater generated during the production process to ensure compliance with environmental protection requirements.

　　Fruit residue processing equipmentThe juiced fruit residue can be processed and used to make feed or other by-products.

Process flow of orange juice production line

　　Raw material cleaning and sortingOranges are cleaned and sorted to remove any defective fruits.

　　juicingThe cleaned oranges enter the juicer to extract juice.

　　Filtering and SeparationJuice is filtered and centrifuged to remove fruit residue and solid particles.

　　Sterilization and sterilizationJuice undergoes pasteurization or UHT sterilization to ensure hygiene and safety.

　　Concentration and blending(Optional): Concentrate or blend according to demand.

　　Filling and packagingFill the orange juice into a container, seal, label, and package it.

　　Finished product testing and storageConduct quality inspection on finished products, and store or ship them after passing the inspection.
