Why do you build your own apple juice plant?
Prospect of the apple juice processing industry: The apple is honored as the most nutritious fruit, which contains various kinds of vitamins, minerals, and sugars. Eating apples frequently helps strengthen people’s memory and intelligence, as well as improve the respiratory system and protect us from smoke pollution. Besides eating apples directly, we usually process apples into apple juice and apple jam. Apple juice processing has become a prominent industry in China over the past years. AGICO is an outstanding apple juice processing line supplier in China, providing effective solutions for your apple juice production.
Market analysis of apple juice processing: China’s apple juice industry started in the early 1980s. It has made remarkable headway since reform and opening-up. Up to now, China has become the world’s largest apple juice producer and exporter, taking up half of the world’s apple juice market. Concentrated apple juice is the major processed apple product. Cider, apple vinegar, and fresh apple juice production spring up, which greatly promote China’s apple processing industry. However, China’s apple juice processing industry started late, and the juice processing technology is uncompetitive. The rate of apples used in processing remains low. We lack specialized apple species for processing. Our processed products are limited to concentrated apple juice. The production of canned apples, candied apples, and dried apples is small in scale.

Apple washing and sorting
Clean and fresh apples are important to make delicious and healthy juice, so an apple washing machine is essential equipment to ensure the sanitation of apples. The Apple bubble washing machine is mainly composed of blower, water tank, roller, spray water tube, a hopper, and so on. It is a professional machine that is based on high-pressure fan wind and cargo pump water pressure to produce strong stirring movement and the apples in the water back, which improves the efficiency of cleaning and special-purpose machinery so as to achieve clean apples.
Apple sorting machines play a vital role in fruit juice pretreatment. The working principle of the apple sorting machine is that the stainless steel shafts of the apple sorting machine roll to transport apples, and the apples on the shafts can evenly rotate so that the working staff can easily pick out apples of low or inferior quality. The waste material will finally be conveyed into the receiving tank.

Apple juice clarification, concentration, and sterilization
When producing fruit juice, you should perform procedures like clarification, separation, filtration, homogenization, degassing, and so on. Different applications require different clarifications; there are centrifugal juice disc separators, juice double filters, ultrafiltration, stainless steel tanks, juice homogenizers, and colloid mill machines as your reference. Our company can supply different kinds of machines according to your requirements.
As needed, apple juice can be concentrated. The concentrating system plays a vital role during the apple juice production line; concentrated apple juice is small in size, which can save packing and shipping costs. A vacuum degasser and falling film evaporator can be used in this procedure, but in general, 100% pure apple juice is the best, so you can choose according to your real condition, whether concentration is necessary or not.
Sterilization is an indispensable step in juice beverages before filling and packing. Generally speaking, there are plant UHT sterilizers, tube-in-tube sterilizers, continuous spraying sterilizers, and sterilizing kettles to sterilize apple juice. The tube-in-tube sterilizer is applied to the sterilization of puree, while the plate UHT sterilizer is suitable for the clear apple juice.
Apple juice filling and packing
Filling and packing are important at the end of producing apple juice; there are bottle blow molding machines, PET bottle filling machines, aseptic bag filling machines, metal can filling lines, etc.
