Fruit Concentrate Processing Flow for Juice and Puree Concentrates
Fruit concentrate processing adds evaporation and Brix control to reduce storage and transport volume or create ingredient products.
Fruit Concentrate Processing Flow Process Flow
Concentrate flow should be selected only when target Brix, storage density or ingredient route justifies evaporation.
Receiving -> Washing -> Extraction or pulping -> Clarification if needed -> Evaporation -> Cooling -> Sterilization -> Aseptic filling
This process flow is for preliminary RFQ planning only. Final equipment selection depends on raw material, finished product, Brix, viscosity, particles, packaging and utilities.
Step-by-Step Engineering Logic
01. Preparation
Prepare fruit as juice or puree feed.
02. Extraction or pulping
Create stable feed for evaporation.
03. Clarification if required
Clear juice concentrate may need clarification and filtration.
04. Evaporation
Remove water to target Brix with quality control.
05. Cooling and sterilization
Protect color, aroma and microbial stability.
06. Aseptic filling
Fill concentrate into aseptic drums or bulk packaging.
Fruit Concentrate Processing Flow RFQ Parameters
| Parameter | Reference Only Planning Question | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Raw material | Fruit type, feed Brix, clarity, pulp level and heat sensitivity. | Raw material condition controls washing, sorting, yield and hygienic risk. |
| Finished product | Juice concentrate, puree concentrate, paste or high-solids ingredient. | The finished product decides extraction, heat treatment, evaporation and filling. |
| Capacity | Fresh raw material intake per hour or day, shift hours and seasonal campaign. | Capacity controls equipment size, tanks, utilities and staffing. |
| Brix and viscosity | Feed Brix, target Brix, viscosity and concentration ratio. | These values drive mass balance, pump, heat exchanger and filling selection. |
| Packaging | Aseptic drum, bag-in-bin or bulk tank. | Package selection changes sterilization, filling and storage logic. |

Process Flow FAQ
Can this flow be used as a final design?
No. It is a reference flow chart for RFQ preparation. Final design must be confirmed from raw material tests, product specification, utilities and factory layout.
Where does most equipment selection happen?
Most selection happens at extraction or pulping, heat treatment, evaporation if needed and filling. These stages change with viscosity, particles, shelf life and packaging.
What data is needed to refine the flow?
Send raw material form, finished product, capacity, Brix, viscosity, particle limits, heat treatment, packaging and utility data.
Can the flow support future products?
Future products can be considered, but the priority product should drive the first design. Optional routes can add cost and complexity.
