Raw material receiving, washing and sorting
Check incoming garlic cleanliness and defect level before washing. Raw material quality affects washing intensity, yield and flavor stability.
Garlic processing line for paste, puree, sauce base and seasoning ingredients, planned around cleaning, peeling, crushing, odor control, cooking or sterilization and hygienic filling.



This garlic line is planned for juice, puree, paste, extract or concentrate projects. The key engineering scope is strong washing, trimming, crushing, fiber/solids control, extraction or pulping, heat treatment and cleaning design.
The garlic route should prioritize strong washing, solids handling, fiber control and the selection between juice, puree, extract or concentrate products.
Check incoming garlic cleanliness and defect level before washing. Raw material quality affects washing intensity, yield and flavor stability.
Trim the raw material to remove unwanted peel, core or damaged parts according to the target product route. Proper trimming reduces off-flavor, excess fiber and unnecessary downstream solids.
Refining or pulping controls particle size, removes coarse solids and stabilizes the downstream product route.
At this stage the product can be adjusted for Brix, solids, acidity, recipe balance or ingredient formulation. This is where the process is matched to the commercial product specification.
Pasteurization or sterilization is selected according to pH, product texture, shelf-life target and packaging format.
The final filling route should match the sales channel and storage plan, such as aseptic bag, drum, bottle, can, jar or pouch. Packaging choice also affects the overall thermal process and quotation scope.
Different finished products lead to different equipment scope, utility demand, heat-treatment method and packaging logic.
Garlic juice routes prioritize extraction yield, filtration and beverage stability.
Garlic puree or paste production should define fiber level, texture and packaging route.
Garlic extract or base production may require stronger solids handling and formulation control.
Garlic concentrate routes add evaporation when higher solids products are required.
| Typical capacity | Industrial planning range depends on garlic supply, working shift and final product route. |
| Finished products | Juice, puree, pulp, concentrate, sauce, beverage base or aseptic bulk product depending on project scope. |
| Key process decisions | Raw material condition, texture target, heat treatment method, packaging format and utility conditions. |
| Packaging options | Aseptic bag, drum, bottle, jar, pouch, can or bulk tank depending on shelf-life target. |
| Automation & cleaning | PLC + HMI operation, sanitary piping and CIP/SIP options can be discussed. |
Garlic processing is different from ginger or onion because clove separation, peeling efficiency, strong odor and pungency control dominate the line design. The target is often paste or seasoning ingredient rather than clear juice.
Garlic bulbs need breaking and clove peeling before crushing. Peeling efficiency, skin removal and clove damage determine yield and downstream paste quality.
Garlic odor is intense and can affect factory layout. Ventilation, enclosed transfer and waste handling should be discussed for industrial plants.
Garlic paste quality depends on crushing intensity and particle size. Some products need coarse paste for culinary use; others need smooth puree for sauces or industrial blending.
Garlic pungency changes with crushing and heating. The RFQ should define whether fresh pungent flavor is desired or whether heat treatment should reduce harshness.
Garlic paste can be filled into jars, pouches, aseptic bulk or ingredient containers. Filling method should match viscosity, shelf-life target and cleaning needs.
Confirm bulb size, peeling method, paste/juice route, particle size, odor-control need, packaging, heat treatment target, capacity and factory ventilation conditions.
For a useful quotation, include the raw material condition, target product route, expected capacity, packaging format, available utilities and any quality requirement that affects equipment selection.
Each module should be selected according to raw material condition, target product route, capacity, cleaning requirement and final packaging plan.
Stronger washing is often required for root or aromatic raw materials carrying soil and surface contamination.
Crushing prepares the raw material for extraction, pulping or downstream solids handling.
A decanter can support separation, fiber control or clarification where the process route requires it.
Tubular heat treatment can be considered when puree, paste or fiber-containing products are involved.
CIP design is important for hygienic operation and cleaning of fiber-rich or strongly aromatic products.
These answers help separate a real process route from a simple equipment list before quotation.
Provide raw material form, finished product, expected hourly capacity, operating season, Brix or solids data, pH if available, viscosity or texture target, fiber, seed or particle limits, package format, shelf-life target and utility conditions. If some values are not final, mark them as preliminary references. The quotation can then show a realistic process route instead of a generic machine list.
Some upstream equipment can be shared, especially washing, sorting and part of the extraction section. The downstream route may change once the product becomes garlic paste, garlic puree, seasoning base, sauce base and aseptic garlic ingredient. Different products can require different pulper screens, heat treatment, evaporation, filling or storage conditions. For multi-product planning, list the main product first and treat other products as optional routes during quotation.
The cost is usually driven by capacity, product viscosity, required particle control, heat-treatment method, evaporation need, aseptic filling, automation level and utility scope. For this line, the sensitive items are peeling yield, pungent aroma control, fiber and particle size, cleaning difficulty, corrosion risk and filling of viscous paste. Those factors change stainless steel contact area, pump type, heat exchanger style, tank volume, cleaning design and installation work.
No. Any capacity, Brix, heat-treatment or utility value shown on the website should be treated as a planning reference only. Final specifications must be confirmed with raw material samples, buyer product standards, local sanitary requirements and factory layout. This is especially important when viscosity, seed content, fiber, acidity or heat sensitivity changes by variety and season.
Share the building size, floor drain position, available height, raw material receiving direction, packaging area, utility room, boiler or steam source, cooling water, compressed air and desired automation level. A practical layout should connect receiving, preparation, processing, filling, CIP and storage with enough operator access and cleaning space. Layout data also helps avoid quoting equipment that cannot be installed efficiently.
This section is written for RFQ preparation. Values are reference only until raw material tests, product specifications and final layout review confirm the process route.
Garlic cloves require root, skin and defect control before crushing. The pungent aroma, sticky solids and sanitation demands make cleaning and ventilation part of the engineering discussion.
The route may include bulb breaking, peeling, sorting, washing, crushing or pulping, blending or cooking, deaeration, heat treatment and filling.
The complete scope may include peeling and sorting section, washing system, hammer crusher, pulper or colloid mill interface, tubular sterilizer, filler and CIP. Confirm steam, power, compressed air, cooling water, drainage, CIP level and automation requirement before judging price.
| RFQ Item | Reference Information to Provide | Engineering Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Finished products | garlic paste, garlic puree, seasoning base, sauce base and aseptic garlic ingredient | Different products may share the same front end but require different pulping, heat treatment, filling and storage logic. |
| Critical concern | peeling yield, pungent aroma control, fiber and particle size, cleaning difficulty, corrosion risk and filling of viscous paste | This is usually where equipment sizing, material selection, cleaning design and quality risk become different from a generic line. |
| Capacity and season | Hourly intake, operating hours per day, harvest season or frozen raw material plan. | Capacity affects buffer tanks, utility peak load, staffing, front-end width and aseptic filler size. |
| Brix, pH, viscosity and particles | Use measured data when available. If not, mark values as preliminary planning references only. | These values decide pump type, heat exchanger style, deaeration, evaporation and filling behavior. |
| Packaging and shelf life | Aseptic drum, bag-in-bin, bottle, pouch, can, jar, frozen pack or chilled distribution. | Packaging changes sterilization, filling machine, SIP/CIP scope, logistics and finished product storage. |
