Multifunctional Industrial Apple Juice Processing Machine For Applesauce Production Line
Common machines and processes for apple sauce production lines
Raw material pretreatment
Cleaning and sorting: After the apples are cleaned with high-pressure bubbles, rotten fruits and impurities are removed by a roller sorter.
Peeling and core removal: Mechanical knives remove the cores and stems, and precook and soften the flesh (screw conveying + steam heating).
Crushing and pulping
Hot crushing: The double-shaft crusher cuts the apples into pieces and heats to inactivate enzymes to reduce browning reactions.
Step pulping: The double-channel pulper separates the fiber and pulp, and the screen gap is gradually reduced to 0.6mm.
Concentration and blending
Vacuum concentration: The pulp evaporates water to 68% solids in a double-effect concentration tank, and sugar, citric acid and other auxiliary materials are added simultaneously.
End point control: A refractometer is used to monitor the concentration in real time, and the steam volume and vacuum degree are automatically adjusted.
Sterilization and filling
UHT sterilization: The sauce is quickly heated to 95℃ by a tubular sterilizer, and then enters the sterile buffer tank after cooling. Aseptic filling: The fully automatic filling line completes quantitative filling and sealing, and the filling temperature is adjustable. Packaging and quality inspection
Capping and sealing: The vacuum capping machine ensures sealing, and the torque range is 0.8-1.2N·m. Foreign matter detection: After X-ray detection, the finished product is labeled, packed and put into storage

Final products & Package types for the apple project
Shanghai Gofun machinery company offers all kinds of apple processing line.
The raw materials are fresh apples, apple juice, etc., and the final products are apple paste, apple sauce, apple juice, apple powder, apple slices, etc.
- Apple Juice: The apples undergo washing, crushing, and pressing to extract their juice. After filtration and pasteurization, the juice is packaged in bottles or cartons. It serves as a refreshing beverage or a versatile ingredient in various culinary creations.
- Apple Sauce: Apples are peeled, cored, and cooked to a soft consistency. The cooked apples are then mashed or blended to form a smooth sauce. Flavor-enhancing ingredients like sugar may be added. Apple sauce is commonly used as a condiment, cooking ingredient, or dessert topping.
- Dried Apple Slices: Apples are sliced thinly and dehydrated through methods like air drying or specialized drying equipment. The dehydration process removes moisture, resulting in preserved apple slices with an extended shelf life. These dried slices can be enjoyed as a nutritious snack or utilized in baking, cereals, or trail mixes.
- Apple Pie Fillings: Apples are peeled, cored, and sliced before being cooked with sugar, spices, and occasionally thickening agents to create a sweet and flavorful pie filling. Once prepared, the filling is packaged in containers or cans, ready for use in pie-making or other baked goods.
Final packaging includes aseptic bags, metal boxes, sachets, stand-up sachets, PP containers, glass jars, PET bottles, gable tops, etc.
