The equipment for the aloe vera juice beverage production line includes raw material selection, cleaning and sorting, crushing, pressing, filtering, enzymatic hydrolysis, sugar and acid adjustment, degassing, sterilization, filling, sealing, spray sterilization, and drying. The equipment at each stage cooperates with each other to complete the production and processing of aloe vera beverages, ensuring product quality and safety.

Aloe Vera Processing Line Technological Flowchart

Fresh aloe vera after harvesting, using sodium solution and pure water to soaking and spraying washing, then cut the aloe vera top, bottom and side thorns manually, after that, you can use the aloe vera peeling machine to remove the thick rind peel in the outlayer or hand filleting the peel. Then we obtain the aloe vera gel, now just cut the aloe vera gel into pieces and ground into slurry, then stored into insulation tank with 4℃, to slow down the enzymatic and microbial deterioration of the gel, one pasteurizer is used to treat the material(65℃ for 3 min), then flashing cooled to 55℃ for enzymatic treatment to separate the solids in the gel. And then the filter press or decanter centrifuge separator is used to extract the juice from the aloe vera gel. Subsequent processing includes decolorization by activated carbon in decolorization tank, adding of preservatives in blending tanks and pasteurizing, filling aloe vera juice.

Fresh aloe vera needs to be cut top and bottom, then it will be washed and peeled, and we get the aloe vera pulp, then the pulp will be fed into the pulping and refining machine to obtain the aloe vera puree. Then the puree will be filtered and concentrated into 30-32 Brix after sterilization/pasteurization and filled into the aseptic bags in drums.

Aloe beverage production and processing equipment is an important component of aloe beverage production line equipment, which includes aloe peel juicer, aloe diced machine, aloe beverage blending system, aloe beverage automatic filling machine, spray sterilization machine, automatic labeling machine, beverage packaging machine, etc. It aims to achieve a complete processing process from raw material selection to final product. The following is a detailed introduction to the production and processing equipment for aloe vera beverages.

Firstly, the starting point of the aloe vera beverage production line is the selection of raw materials. At this stage, it is necessary to choose fresh, pest free, and moderately mature aloe vera raw materials. Although this step may seem simple, it is the key to ensuring the quality of the final product.

Next, the raw materials are cleaned and sorted to remove surface dirt and impurities, while screening out aloe vera raw materials that meet production requirements. This step requires the use of cleaning and sorting equipment, such as spray cleaning machines and vibrating screens.

After cleaning and sorting, the aloe vera raw materials enter the crushing process. The crushing equipment can crush aloe vera raw materials into small pieces suitable for subsequent processing, improving pressing efficiency and product quality. Common crushing equipment includes hammer crushers and cutting crushers.

Then, the crushed aloe vera raw material enters the pressing process. The pressing equipment can squeeze out the juice from aloe vera raw materials, providing raw materials for subsequent processing. Common pressing equipment includes screw presses and hydraulic presses.

The pressed aloe juice contains a large amount of coarse fibers and other impurities, which need to be filtered through two steps: coarse filtration and fine filtration to remove impurities and improve the purity of the juice. Coarse filtration equipment can use vibrating screens or centrifuges, while fine filtration equipment can use scraper filters or precision filters.

Next, the filtered aloe juice enters the enzymatic hydrolysis ring. Enzymatic hydrolysis equipment can utilize the action of enzymes to break down large molecules in aloe vera juice into small molecules, improving the taste and nutritional value of the product. Common enzymatic hydrolysis equipment includes enzymatic hydrolysis tanks and constant temperature agitators.

The enzymatically hydrolyzed aloe vera juice needs to be adjusted for sugar and acid to meet the taste needs of different consumers. Sugar acid adjustment equipment can use metering pumps and mixers, etc.

Then, the aloe vera juice adjusted by sugar and acid enters the degassing process. Degassing equipment can remove oxygen and other gases from the juice, preventing oxidation reactions that may affect product quality during subsequent processing and storage. Common degassing equipment includes vacuum degassing machines and degassing machines.

The degassed aloe vera juice needs to be sterilized to kill the microorganisms and ensure the hygiene and safety of the product. Sterilization equipment can use UHT ultra-high temperature sterilizers or pasteurizers, etc.

After sterilization treatment, the aloe vera juice enters the filling process. The filling equipment can fill aloe vera juice into different containers such as bottles, cans, bags, etc. according to the set capacity. Common filling equipment includes liquid filling machines and automatic filling machines.

The filled aloe vera beverage needs to be sealed to prevent leakage during subsequent storage and transportation. Sealing equipment can use sealing machines and heat shrink machines, etc.

Finally, the aloe vera beverage that has been sealed needs to undergo spray sterilization and drying treatment to further ensure the hygiene and quality of the product. Spray sterilization equipment can use spray sterilizers and ozone sterilizers, etc.

Quality Control

Raw material control: Conduct strict quality inspections on the purchased aloe vera and lemon to ensure that the quality of the raw materials meets the requirements.

Production process control: Real time monitoring and control of various links in the production process to ensure the stability of the production process and consistency of product quality.

Finished product inspection: Strictly inspect and test the aloe juice beverage produced to ensure that the product meets relevant standards and requirements.

In addition, suitable extraction techniques and equipment can be selected based on the scale and requirements of the production line, such as ultrasonic extraction method, microwave extractor, etc., to improve extraction efficiency and product quality.

The above is a basic aloe vera deep processing juice beverage production line project plan, and the specific implementation plan can be adjusted and optimized according to the actual situation.
