Suitable raw materials
Apple, mango, berry, tomato, guava, citrus, carrot and other fruits or vegetables can be discussed after confirming preparation difficulty.
A 1 ton per hour fruit processing line is a small industrial line for pilot commercial production, local fruit processing or seasonal fruit value-added projects.



This capacity is suitable for compact juice, puree, pulp or sauce-base projects where manual sorting and simple packaging may still be practical.
Apple, mango, berry, tomato, guava, citrus, carrot and other fruits or vegetables can be discussed after confirming preparation difficulty.
One or two shifts may be used depending on seasonal fruit supply and packaging speed.
The line may include washing, sorting, crushing or pulping, heat treatment, filling, CIP and basic PLC control.
| Item | Reference Only Planning Question | Engineering Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly intake | Reference only: 1 ton fresh raw material per hour before yield and waste loss. | Defines washer width, crusher or pulper size, tanks and filling speed. |
| Factory area | Compact factory area should still allow washing, processing, filling, utilities, drainage and operator aisles. | Affects equipment layout, operator aisles, drainage and packaging movement. |
| Steam | Confirm pressure, boiler capacity and peak demand. | Sterilization, evaporation, hot water and CIP can all require steam. |
| Power | Confirm voltage, phase, frequency and installed power limit. | Motors, pumps, controls, refrigeration and utilities need electrical planning. |
| Cooling water | Confirm tower water, chilled water or process water availability. | Cooling controls product temperature, filling conditions and heat exchanger balance. |
| Labor | Manual sorting, trimming and packaging can strongly affect actual output at this scale. | Manual sorting, trimming, packaging and cleaning affect practical throughput. |
| Packaging | Bottle, pouch, jar, small aseptic drum or hot-fill formats can be discussed. | Bottle, pouch, can, jar and aseptic drum require different filler and line length. |
Compact washing, sorting and trimming modules protect the downstream extractor.
Choose belt press, pulper, crusher or fruit-specific extractor by finished product.
Select pasteurization, tubular sterilization, hot-fill or aseptic filling according to shelf life.
No. Capacity pages are reference-only planning pages. Final sizing must be confirmed from raw material form, target product, shift hours, packaging and utilities.
Use fresh raw material intake per hour or per day, and also state the expected final product. A 3 TPH fruit juice line and a 3 TPH puree line can require different equipment.
Sometimes, but only if the preparation, pulping, heating and cleaning requirements are compatible. State the priority product first and list future products separately.
Building length, width, floor drain position, ceiling height, raw material receiving direction, packaging area, utilities and operator access all affect the layout.
Share raw material, finished product, hourly capacity, Brix, viscosity, packaging, utilities, factory layout, automation requirement and timeline. Values can be preliminary references for early engineering review.
