Leveraging our profound understanding of fruit characteristics and continuous innovation, we provide global clients with technical solutions ranging from single machines to complete turnkey projects. In the field of lychee and longan processing, our patented technologies and core equipment have become industry benchmarks, empowering clients to transform nature’s sweet bounty into stable, high-quality, and high-value commercial products.
Lychee (longan) Product Value
Lychee (longan) is not only unique in flavor but also rich in nutrients such as glucose, sucrose, various vitamins (A, B, C), protein, and precious nutrients like folic acid and arginine, offering significant health and commercial value. However, its delicate, perishable nature and short processing window pose substantial challenges to processing technology.
AGICO Litchi Drink Making Machine
The AGICO Deep Processing Complete Plant Solution is engineered precisely for this purpose. We provide not just a series of machines, but a mature, efficient, and customizable production system capable of automatically transforming fresh lychee/longan into:
- Finished Beverages: Clear or pulpy lychee juice.
- Base Ingredients: High-quality flesh and puree for making jam, jelly, yogurt, and bakery fillings.
- Wine Base Material: Fermentation-ready material for lychee wine, sparkling wine, etc.
- Other Products: Pre-processed material for dried fruits, canned products, and more.

The AGICO Complete Process Litchi Equipment Details
AGICO standard complete line covers the following core processes and equipment, each step designed to optimize efficiency and guarantee quality:
| Process Stage | Core Equipment | Function & Features |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Raw Material Pretreatment | Roller Sorting Machine | Allows spherical fruits to rotate evenly for manual rapid removal of debris, leaves, and rotten fruits. |
| Bubble Washing Machine | Generates rolling bubbles for gentle yet effective removal of surface sediment and some pesticide residues. | |
| Brush & Spray Washing Machine | Soft brush rollers and high-pressure water spray work together to thoroughly clean crevices and surface contaminants. | |
| 2. Peeling & Pitting | Scraper Elevator | Uses PP or stainless steel scrapers to convey fruits smoothly and hygienically between workstations. |
| Lychee/Longan Peeling Machine | (Patented Equipment) Achieves precise separation of shell and flesh through the gentle action of specially designed rubber rollers. | |
| Lychee/Longan Pitting Machine | (Patented Equipment) Precisely cuts and squeezes to completely separate the pit, flesh, and residual shell. | |
| 3. Product Forming | Fruit Pulper | Crushes and centrifuges flesh in an enclosed environment to separate fine puree from fibers; solid content is adjustable. |
| (Juice Press) | Can be configured for producing clear juice. | |
| (Fermentation & Filling System) | Provides subsequent complete solutions for fermentation, filtration, and filling for lychee wine production. |
Litchi/longan Peeler Machine
This machine is designed for the pretreatment stage in the production of lychee/longan juice, wine, dried fruit, and canned products. It is typically employed after the fruits have been destemmed, cleaned, and sterilized.
Utilizing rubber-coated rollers, the machine efficiently separates the flesh from the hard outer shell. It achieves a high peeling rate of over 99% while maintaining a pulp loss rate of less than 1%, making it an ideal and efficient solution for fruit processing industries.
This refined version consolidates the information, removes repetition, and presents it in a clear, professional flow: introduction, function, technical principle, and key performance metrics.
Litchi/longan Fruit Pulper Machine
This machine is designed for crushing fruit pulp, extracting juice, and separating solids from the residue. It integrates both pulverizing and centrifugal separation functions within a fully enclosed system, significantly minimizing oxidation to best preserve the natural flavor of the juice.
The solids content in the extracted juice and the moisture level of the residual pulp can be precisely adjusted according to production requirements.
Advantages of the Lychee/Longan Juice Production Line
Core Patents, Industry Authority
AGICO’s independently developed lychee/longan peeling and destoning machines hold two national invention patents. This technology was part of China’s National Spark Program, passed the Scientific and Technological Achievement Appraisal in 2005, and was awarded the Provincial Third Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress as well as the Provincial Third Prize for Agricultural Technology Extension in 2006. This stands as our strongest commitment to reliability and technological advancement.
Outstanding Performance, Backed by Data
- Peeling Rate > 99%
Nearly complete shell removal, significantly reducing manual sorting in later stages. - Pulp Loss Rate < 1%
Maximizes retention of precious pulp, directly improving product yield and economic efficiency. - Fully Automated PLC Control
Integrated automated operation across the line reduces human intervention and ensures stable production rhythm and consistent hygiene standards.
Food-Grade Safety, Customized Design
- All components in contact with materials are made of food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, complying with Chinese and mainstream international food hygiene standards.
- We understand that each client’s site conditions, capacity requirements (e.g., 2–3 tons/hour), and product plans differ. Therefore, AGICO offers tailored solutions—from process layout to equipment specifications—all customizable to perfectly align with your goals.
Successful Case
Lychee/longan products manufactured using the AGICO complete line maximally retain the fruit’s original flavor, translucent color, and rich nutritional content. Product quality is stable and consistent, fully meeting the stringent modern food industry demands for safety, flavor, and standardization.
