Fruit handling
Stage 1: bubble flotation washing
Connect fruit cleanliness, water management and controlled feeding.
APPLE JUICE / PROCESS EQUIPMENT
Apple juice.
The right
processing line.
From whole apples to NFC juice or concentrate. Connect extraction, finishing and packing around the product you want to make.
Clear & cloudy juiceNFC & concentrate
01 / EXTRACTIONWash. Crush. Press.
Prepare the fruit and separate juice from pomace.
02 / FINISHINGClear, cloudy or concentrated.
Select the duties your final juice actually needs.
03 / HANDOVERTreatment. Packing. Cleaning.
Connect the product, package and operating conditions.
START WITH YOUR PRODUCT
Four routes.
One clear starting point.
Clarity and concentration are separate choices. Compare the common extraction section and the equipment that changes with each route.
CHOOSE TWO AXES
NFC No concentration
Concentrate Defined evaporation duty
ClearClarity target
01 / AClear / NFC
Add clarification and filtration to the shared crushing and pressing front end, then coordinate the required treatment and packaging.
View process ↗01 / BClear / Concentrate
Combine the clear-juice finishing branch with a concentration system sized from the measured feed, target soluble solids and operating conditions.
View process ↗CloudyCloud target
02 / ACloudy / NFC
Start with the same extraction front end, then develop cloudy-juice finishing around the intended suspended phase and stability target.
View process ↗02 / BCloudy / Concentrate
Assess the combined concentration and cloud-stability task through product trials before finalizing the equipment configuration.
View process ↗THE EQUIPMENT BEHIND THE PROCESS
Every machine
has a defined job.
Explore the inlet, outlet and selection conditions for each duty, then connect it to the rest of your line.
Extraction
Apple crushing & mash transfer equipment
Prepare the fruit for pressing without treating all particle sizes as equivalent.
Apple juice pressing equipmentConfiguration defined by your product trial
Extraction
Apple juice pressing equipment
Recover juice on a measurable whole-fruit basis. For a proposed vitamin C (ascorbic acid) colour-protection step, compare controlled addition during mash transfer or immediately after pressing in product trials; record timing, mixing, formulation and dose, without treating the addition as a substitute for the required preservation process.
FROM APPLES TO JUICE
A connected flow.
A measurable result.
Fruit reception, bubble flotation washing, brush washing, inspection, crushing and pressing form the shared front end. Keep juice, pomace and finishing losses visible when deciding what comes next.

A MORE USEFUL EQUIPMENT DISCUSSION
Tell us the product.
Let’s discuss the scope.
Start with your juice route, fruit supply and packaging. Add existing equipment and site conditions so the conversation covers the right interfaces.
- 01
Which juice?
Clear or cloudy. NFC or concentrate.
- 02
How much, on what basis?
Whole apples, finished juice or concentrate.
- 03
What happens after processing?
Consumer or bulk packaging and storage.
CAPACITY THAT MEANS SOMETHING
Fruit input is not
finished juice output.
Use your own measured extraction and finishing assumptions to compare fruit, juice, concentrate and removed water.

Every customer has a different product brief. We adapt washing, extraction, clarity and packaging around the actual fruit and operating window. Enzyme treatment is placed before deaeration in the selected clear-juice process; cloudy juice follows its own finishing route.

Independent washing stages
Control soil carryover with water screening, brush contact, a separate final rinse and clear access for cleaning.
Decanter duty before final clarity
Specify solids load and separation tests for the horizontal decanter, then confirm the required polishing or filtration duty.
Define the actual equipment duty.
Share your incoming material, required product, operating hours and packaging so that the selection can be checked against real conditions.
