Juice Filling Production Lines
The beverage bottling machine is a critical component in modern juice production, transforming fresh fruits into delicious bottled drinks through processes like extraction, filtration, blending, sterilization, filling, and packaging. Depending on the fruit type, production lines vary—examples include mango, apple, pomegranate, and grape juice systems.
Juice Bottling Line
1. Raw Material Processing Systems
-
Fruit Extraction & Filtration: Crushers and pulpers separate juice from pulp.
-
Clarification: Enzymatic treatment and plate filtration remove solids.
-
Blending & Homogenization: Ingredients are mixed, and high-pressure homogenizers ensure smooth texture.
2. Sterilization & Deaeration
-
Tube/Plate Sterilizers: Tube systems handle pulpy juices; plate systems work for clear liquids.
-
Vacuum Deaeration: Removes oxygen to prolong shelf life.
3. Beverage Bottling Machine Types
-
Hot Filling (85°C): Prevents contamination but requires heat-resistant PET bottles.
-
Cold Aseptic Filling: Preserves nutrients but demands sterile environments.
Energy-Efficient Heating Solutions
Steam boilers outperform electric heaters in long-term cost savings, especially for processes like:
-
Pasteurization
-
Bottle sterilization (spray tunnels)
-
Syrup preparation (insulated tanks)
Pro Tip: Triple-layered tanks minimize heat loss and operator burns.
Smart Filling Technology
Modern beverage bottling machine integrate sensors to:
-
Halt production if juice temperature drops below 85°C.
-
Auto-return under-processed juice for re-sterilization.
Clear juices require extra filtration, while cloudy juices retain more fiber. Hot filling suits budget operations, whereas cold filling maximizes nutrient retention. Partner with equipment providers to customize your line!
