NFC Juice Processing Flow for Not From Concentrate Juice
NFC juice processing avoids evaporation and focuses on direct juice character, oxygen control, pasteurization and packaging.
NFC Juice Processing Flow Process Flow
NFC flow is chosen when the market values direct juice quality rather than concentrate storage density.
Receiving -> Washing -> Extraction -> Pulp control -> Deaeration -> Pasteurization -> Filling -> Cooling or storage
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. Receiving and washing
Protect fruit freshness and remove defects.
02. Extraction
Use fruit-specific juicing or pressing equipment.
03. Pulp control
Define cloudy, clear or pulp-containing product.
04. Deaeration
Reduce oxygen before pasteurization.
05. Pasteurization
Set heat treatment by pH, pulp and package.
06. Filling
Use bottle, pouch, carton, chilled or aseptic route.
NFC Juice Processing Flow RFQ Parameters
| Parameter | Reference Only Planning Question | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Raw material | Fresh fruit condition, maturity, Brix and defect level. | Raw material condition controls washing, sorting, yield and hygienic risk. |
| Finished product | NFC clear juice, cloudy juice or pulp-containing juice. | 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 | Natural Brix, acidity, pulp level and foam tendency. | These values drive mass balance, pump, heat exchanger and filling selection. |
| Packaging | Bottle, carton, pouch, chilled pack or aseptic bulk. | 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.
