Raw material behavior
Dates may be dry, semi-dry or fresh, and moisture level changes soaking, pulping and paste viscosity.
Specialty fruit processing line
Date Processing Line for Date Paste, Syrup and Puree
Date processing line design focuses on washing, soaking, destoning, pulping, syrup extraction, high-solids handling and hygienic filling.
Line overview
Date Processing Line Overview
Date processing line design focuses on washing, soaking, destoning, pulping, syrup extraction, high-solids handling and hygienic filling.
Finished product focus
Date paste, syrup, puree, beverage base and aseptic ingredient.
Main engineering concern
Soaking, pit removal, high sugar solids, viscosity, stickiness and heat fouling.
Typical products
Date Processing Line Finished Products
| Finished Product | Process Route | Packaging Option | Key Engineering Concern |
|---|---|---|---|
| Date paste | Washing, soaking, destoning, pulping, refining and heat treatment | Aseptic drum, jar, pouch, bottle or bulk tank | Soaking, pit removal, high sugar solids, viscosity, stickiness and heat fouling. |
| Date syrup | Soaking, extraction, filtration, concentration and filling | Aseptic drum, jar, pouch, bottle or bulk tank | Filtration and concentration |
| Date puree base | Pulping, blending and aseptic or hot filling | Aseptic bulk or chilled/frozen ingredient pack | Viscosity and cleaning |
Process flow
Date Processing Line Process Flow
Reference route: Receiving -> Washing -> Soaking -> Destoning -> Pulping or extraction -> Heat treatment -> Filling
01. Washing

RFQ parameters
Date Processing Line RFQ Data
| Parameter | Typical Reference | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Raw material | Dates may be dry, semi-dry or fresh, and moisture level changes soaking, pulping and paste viscosity. | Defines washing, sorting, trimming and extraction route. |
| Finished product | Date paste, syrup, puree, beverage 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 | Aseptic drum, jar, pouch, bottle 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. |
Route selection
How to Choose the Date Processing Line Route
Choose paste when body is needed and syrup when filtration and concentration are the main route.

FAQ
Date Processing Line FAQ
What is the main design point for Date Processing Line?
The main design point is moisture adjustment and pit removal before high-viscosity pulping.
Can the Date Processing Line make several products?
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.
What capacity data should be sent?
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.
Which packaging formats can be discussed?
Typical options include Aseptic drum, jar, pouch, bottle or bulk tank. The final choice should match shelf life, storage and sales channel.
What utility information is needed?
Steam, power, compressed air, cooling water, drainage, CIP expectation, factory layout and automation level are needed before final quotation.
