Raw material behavior
Beetroot carries soil and has strong red pigments that require washing and oxidation control.
Beetroot processing line design focuses on soil removal, root trimming, color protection, crushing, juice or puree extraction, heat treatment and filling.

Beetroot carries soil and has strong red pigments that require washing and oxidation control.
Beetroot juice, puree, concentrate, vegetable blend base and aseptic ingredient.
Soil removal, peel, pigment retention, earthy flavor, fiber and cleaning.
| Finished Product | Process Route | Packaging Option | Key Engineering Concern |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beetroot juice | Brush washing, trimming, crushing, pressing, deaeration and pasteurization | Bottle, pouch, aseptic drum or bulk tank | Soil removal, peel, pigment retention, earthy flavor, fiber and cleaning. |
| Beetroot puree | Washing, cooking or blanching if required, pulping and sterilization | Bottle, pouch, aseptic drum or bulk tank | Fiber and color |
| Beetroot concentrate | Juice extraction, evaporation and aseptic filling | Aseptic bulk or chilled/frozen ingredient pack | Brix and pigment stability |
Reference route: Receiving -> Brush washing -> Trimming -> Crushing -> Pressing or pulping -> Deaeration -> Heat treatment -> Filling

Used for pulpy beetroot products.
| Parameter | Typical Reference | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Raw material | Beetroot carries soil and has strong red pigments that require washing and oxidation control. | Defines washing, sorting, trimming and extraction route. |
| Finished product | Beetroot juice, puree, concentrate, vegetable blend base and aseptic ingredient. | Determines pulping, heat treatment, evaporation and filling. |
| Capacity | Hourly intake and operating hours should be stated as preliminary references. | Capacity changes all equipment modules and utilities. |
| Brix, pH and viscosity | Confirm natural Brix, pH, viscosity, pulp or particle content and heat sensitivity. | These decide pump, heat exchanger, evaporator and filler selection. |
| Packaging | Bottle, pouch, aseptic drum or bulk tank | Changes sterilization, filling, cooling and storage logic. |
| Utilities | Steam, power, compressed air, cooling water, drainage and CIP. | Utility limits can change practical plant capacity. |
Choose juice for beverage route and puree or concentrate for ingredient route.
The main design point is strong soil removal and pigment protection.
Yes, but each finished product should be listed separately. Shared washing or preparation may be possible, while pulping, heat treatment, evaporation and filling can change by product.
Send fresh raw material intake per hour or day, shift hours, seasonal supply and expected packaging speed. Treat early values as reference only until engineering review.
Typical options include Bottle, pouch, aseptic drum or bulk tank. The final choice should match shelf life, storage and sales channel.
Steam, power, compressed air, cooling water, drainage, CIP expectation, factory layout and automation level are needed before final quotation.
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.
