Passion Fruit and Guava Processing Line Technological Flowchart

Fresh passion fruit or guava after washing and sorting by air bubble washing machine, brush washing machine and roller sorting machine, then the cleaned fruits will be feed into roller half cutting extractor for peeling and crushing, after that, we use the tubular preheater to inactivate the enzyme in fruit mash, then the fruit mash can be pulped and refined into puree. And then the black seed specks in puree need to be removed by a decanter centrifuge. Until this process, we obtain the pure puree. If we want to produce single strength puree, then the puree will be homogenized, pasteurized and then filled into aseptic bags or pouches; If we want to produce concentrated puree or juice, then the puree will be sent to the evaporator to remove the water, then after UHT sterilized and filled into aseptic bags; If we want to produce nectar, then we will blend water and other ingredients with the puree, after homogenized, degassed and pasteurized, finally filled into consumable packages such as bottles, tin cans or cartons.

Introduction to Passion Fruit Beverage Production Line:

1、 Cleaning: Cleaning includes processes such as fruit receiving, washing, scrubbing, and picking.

1. Fruit acceptance: Pour fresh passion fruit into the chute and flow it onto the scraper of the elevator under the action of the self-priming pump circulating water.
2. Fruit cleaning: Fresh passion fruit is automatically lifted by a hoist into a surfing style fruit washing machine for soaking tank cleaning, and then moved towards the hoist at the other end of the tank under the action of surfing water. Finally, the soaked passion fruit is automatically lifted into the 104 brush cleaning machine.
3. Brushing: Fresh passion fruit is rolled in any direction towards the outlet end by the rolling brush in the brush cleaning machine, while being thoroughly cleaned by brushing and spraying.
4. Picking: Fresh passion fruit is thoroughly cleaned by a brush washing machine and then enters the roller picking machine. It rolls forward on the conveyor roller, and the picking operator stands on both sides of the picking machine to pick out moldy, rotten, low maturity, and other impurities. Qualified passion fruit fresh fruits automatically enter the hopper of the plate elevator and are lifted to the pressing section.
   2、 Pressing and separation: including three processes: fruit breaking, pulp separation, and centrifugal separation.
5. Fruit breaking: Fresh passion fruit is automatically lifted into the feeding hopper of the fruit breaking machine by a plate elevator, and enters the middle of two opposing rollers for fruit breaking and pressing under the action of the fruit pressing device. The skin and some seeds are separated and sent out of the workshop through a screw conveyor. The juice with some fruit seeds is pumped into a double channel beater through a speed controlled screw pump.
6. Beating and Separation: Passion fruit juice with some seeds first enters the first beating chamber with larger mesh holes for beating. The seeds and crushed skin are separated and collected before being poured out of the workshop by a screw conveyor. The juice enters the second beating chamber with finer mesh holes for beating and removing the capsule in the juice. The processed cloudy juice is pumped by a centrifugal beverage pump to a cloudy juice tank for temporary storage.
7. Centrifugal separation: passion fruit cloudy juice is pumped into a centrifuge by a centrifugal beverage pump. Under the centrifugal force of a high-speed rotating drum, impurities such as coarse fibers with different densities are separated from the clear juice. The coarse fibers and other impurities are collected and poured into a screw conveyor to be sent out of the workshop. The clear juice is transported to a temporary storage tank under centrifugal force for temporary storage.

3、 Concentration: The concentration process includes single effect evaporation concentration, aroma recovery, and other processes.

1. Single effect evaporation: Juice is pumped from the storage tank into the equilibrium tank of the single effect falling film evaporator through a centrifugal beverage pump. Then it is preheated and transported to the outdoor evaporator for evaporation. After vapor-liquid separation in the separator, the concentrated passion fruit juice is pumped by a rotary pump to a plate cooler for cooling and then temporarily stored in a storage tank. The vapor containing aroma components enters the aroma recovery device under vacuum suction.
2. Aroma recovery: The vapor in the separator first enters the condenser tower, and after being cooled by the cooling tower water, the water vapor with a higher condensation point is condensed and pumped out by the water pump at the bottom of the tower. The aroma and part of the air are extracted from the top of the tower under the effect of vacuum suction and enter the plate condenser where they are cooled twice by tower water and ice water. The aroma is condensed into essence liquid, which is pumped to the essence separation tank together with the air through the vacuum pump. The essence liquid is extracted from the bottom of the tank by the centrifugal pump and sent to the storage tank after being cooled again by the secondary plate condenser. The air mixed gas with partial aroma is automatically discharged from the top of the essence separation tank and enters the flushing tank. A part of the clean condensate from the condensation tower is condensed by the ice water of the plate condenser to form condensate with lower temperature and enters the flushing tank for spraying. The mixed gas of aroma and air is sprayed in the condensate, and the aroma is dissolved in the condensate for recovery, and is transported back to the clear juice before the evaporator through thin pipes. Air is discharged from the top of the tank on its own. In order to ensure the function of the vacuum pump, regulate some essence from the secondary plate condenser to return to the vacuum pump for circulation as the sealing liquid. The vacuum degree is adjusted through a valve on the pipeline connected to the flushing tank, and the opening and closing of the valve is controlled by a thermometer installed in the separator, ultimately achieving the purpose of adjusting the vacuum degree.
   4、 Sterilization and filling: The sterilization process mainly includes high-temperature heating and cooling processes.
   The concentrated juice is pumped from the finished product tank into the balance tank of the sleeve sterilization machine through a rotary pump, and then transported by a centrifugal pump in the system through a pipeline filter before entering the heating tube. It is heated to 98 ℃ in the heating tube and kept in the holding section for 30 seconds before entering the cooling section for tower water and ice water cooling, and then transported to the sterile filling machine for filling.
