Process route
Process Flow
Reference route: Fresh mango receiving → washing → sorting → peeling if required → destoning → pulping / refining → deaeration → tubular sterilization → aseptic bag-in-drum filling or retail filling → CIP.
01. Fresh mango receiving
Receive mango by variety, size and ripeness. Record stone ratio, trimming demand and fruit softness because these factors control yield and handling speed.
02. Washing
Wash fruit gently enough to avoid bruising while removing soil, latex, dust and surface contamination before operators or machines handle the fruit.
03. Sorting
Remove rotten, over-soft, underripe or damaged fruit before peeling and destoning so puree color, flavor and microbial quality remain stable.
04. Peeling if required
Peeling can be manual or mechanical depending on fruit size, labor plan and peel tolerance. The route should be chosen before destoner sizing.
05. Destoning
Destoning protects pulpers and product safety by removing stones before fine pulping. Stone fragments and flesh loss are key acceptance points.
06. Pulping / refining
Pulping and refining control fiber, peel residue and particle size. Screen size should match puree, pulp, nectar base or concentrate requirements.
07. Deaeration
Vacuum deaeration reduces trapped air, oxidation, color loss and filling foam in viscous mango puree or pulp products.
08. Tubular sterilization
Mango puree normally needs tubular or tube-in-tube sterilization because viscosity and fiber are higher than clear juice.
09. Aseptic bag-in-drum filling or retail filling
Aseptic bag-in-drum filling suits bulk puree and pulp; retail filling requires a different filler, package handling and shelf-life route.
10. CIP
CIP should be designed for sticky high-viscosity puree, fiber residues and heat exchanger deposits, not only for low-viscosity juice cleaning.
Equipment scope
Key Equipment Configuration
Each equipment module below should be confirmed from product data, layout, sanitary target and utility conditions.
Washing and sorting system
The washing and sorting system removes soil, leaves, stones, damaged fruit and unstable raw material before extraction. It normally combines soaking, bubble washing, brush washing or spray washing with inspection conveying. For mango processing line, this section protects downstream pulpers, pumps and heat exchangers from foreign material. It also gives operators a practical quality-control point before high-value processing begins.
Peeling, destoning and pulping selection
Mango requires a destoning route before fine pulping. A mango peeling and destoning machine reduces manual handling and protects downstream pulpers. The double stage pulping machine controls fiber and particle size. Equipment should be matched to fruit size, ripeness, stone ratio and whether the product is puree, pulp, nectar base or concentrate.
Vacuum deaerator
A vacuum deaerator removes entrained air before sterilization or filling. This helps reduce oxidation, foaming and color loss, especially in juice, puree and nectar-base products. Deaeration must be selected by viscosity, temperature, flow rate and whether the product contains pulp. It is not only a quality device; it also stabilizes downstream filling behavior.
Evaporator for concentrate routes
An evaporator is only required when the buyer wants concentrate, higher solids storage or ingredient density. A falling film evaporator is considered for lower-viscosity juice streams, while a forced circulation evaporator may be discussed for viscous or fouling-prone products. The RFQ should include feed Brix, target Brix, viscosity, heat sensitivity and cleaning interval expectations.
Tubular or plate sterilizer
Heat treatment is selected from product viscosity, pulp content, particle size, pH and packaging route. A plate sterilizer can suit low-viscosity juice, while a tubular sterilizer or tube-in-tube sterilizer is used when pulp, fiber or viscosity increases. Sterilizer sizing should consider holding time, fouling behavior, CIP access and filling temperature.
Aseptic filling machine
An aseptic filling machine is used when the finished product needs shelf-stable bulk packaging in bags, drums or bins. It must be planned together with the sterilizer, sterile transfer line and SIP logic. For higher throughput, a double-head aseptic filling machine can be discussed. Packaging size, cap type, bag specification and filling temperature should be confirmed before quotation.
CIP system
The CIP system cleans product-contact surfaces such as tanks, heat exchangers, pulpers, pipelines and fillers. Fruit products may leave sugar, fiber, seed residue, pectin, pulp or heat deposits, so cleaning circuits should be planned by soil type and sanitary risk. CIP design affects pipe routing, valve groups, water demand, chemical dosing and downtime between products or shifts.
PLC control system
A PLC control system connects process modules into a stable production sequence. It can manage pump interlocks, tank levels, sterilizer temperature, filling readiness, CIP recipes and alarms. Automation level should be defined by operator skill, batch traceability, data recording and whether the buyer needs recipe management. It is a quotation item, not an afterthought.
RFQ data
Technical Parameters for RFQ
Values marked as typical reference only are for preliminary planning and must be confirmed by sample tests, buyer specifications and final engineering review.
| Parameter | Typical Reference | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Raw material | Fresh mango, ripe mango, mixed-size fruit, sorted fruit for puree or pulp | Variety, maturity, defect level and receiving condition affect washing, yield and quality. |
| Finished product | Juice, puree, pulp, concentrate, nectar base or aseptic bulk product as applicable. | The finished product determines extraction, heat treatment, filling and utility scope. |
| Capacity | Typical reference only for preliminary planning: 0.5-10 t/h mango intake; confirm by fruit size, stone ratio and manual trimming plan. | Throughput drives equipment size, buffer tanks, utility demand and floor layout. |
| Initial Brix | Typical reference only for preliminary planning: mango Brix varies strongly by variety and maturity; test representative fruit lots. | Feed Brix affects mass balance, evaporation load and finished product standardization. |
| Target Brix | Puree may follow natural Brix; concentrate or nectar base target must be defined by product spec. | Target Brix determines whether concentration, dilution or blending is required. |
| Viscosity | Medium to high. Viscosity affects pump, deaerator, heat exchanger and aseptic filler selection. | Viscosity changes pump type, heat exchanger choice, deaeration and filling speed. |
| Fiber / seed / particle requirement | Fiber, peel residue and stone fragments must be controlled; screen size and refining route should match the finished product. | Particle limits determine pulper screens, refining stages and sterilizer type. |
| Heat treatment | Pasteurization, UHT, tubular, plate or tube-in-tube route to be confirmed from product and packaging. | Thermal process protects shelf life but can affect color, aroma and fouling. |
| Packaging | Bottle, pouch, can, jar, aseptic bag-in-drum, bag-in-bin or bulk tank. | Packaging affects filling machine, sterilization logic and storage conditions. |
| Steam | Confirm available pressure, capacity and boiler condition. | Steam shortage limits preheating, sterilization, evaporation and CIP. |
| Power | Confirm voltage, phase, frequency and installed power limit. | Electrical design affects motors, controls, pumps and installation cost. |
| Compressed air | Confirm pressure, dryness and air capacity. | Air is needed for pneumatic valves, filling machines and control instruments. |
| Cooling water | Confirm cooling tower, chilled water or process water availability. | Cooling capacity affects pasteurizer balance, filling temperature and product stability. |
| CIP | Define manual cleaning, semi-auto CIP or automatic CIP circuits. | Cleaning design affects hygiene, downtime, labor and long-term operating reliability. |
Route selection
How to Choose the Right Process Route
Start from finished product, not equipment name
Choose a puree route when the product should keep mango body and fiber. Choose nectar base when downstream beverage blending is planned and particle control must support drinkability. Choose concentration only when storage, transport or ingredient density justifies higher viscosity and evaporation load.
Match heat treatment to product risk
Low-viscosity juice, pulpy puree and concentrated product do not use the same heat exchanger or holding logic. Confirm pH, viscosity, particles, packaging and shelf-life target before selecting plate, tubular or tube-in-tube sterilization.
Design cleaning and utilities with the process
Steam, cooling water, compressed air, power and CIP should be sized with the route. A line that is mechanically complete can still fail in operation if cleaning time, utility peak load or buffer capacity is underestimated.
Engineering risk
Common Engineering Problems
- Stone fragments can damage pulpers and create product safety risk.
- Over-ripe fruit raises microbial load and reduces controllability.
- Fiber can block screens, raise viscosity and complicate filling.
- Aroma and color loss occur with long holding or excessive heat exposure.
- Viscous puree needs correct pump and tube-in-tube or tubular heat exchanger selection.
- CIP must remove sticky puree from pulpers, tanks and heat exchangers.

Mango Processing Line Engineering Notes for Equipment Buyers
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.
Raw material behavior
Mango variety, size, maturity and stone ratio strongly affect yield, trimming labor, destoner selection and puree texture. Over-soft fruit also raises microbial and handling risk.
Process route logic
The route usually includes washing, sorting, peeling if required, destoning, pulping, refining, deaeration, tubular or tube-in-tube sterilization and aseptic filling.
Factory planning boundary
The complete scope may include washing system, mango peeling and destoning machine, double-stage pulper, vacuum deaerator, tube-in-tube sterilizer and aseptic filler. Confirm steam, power, compressed air, cooling water, drainage, CIP level and automation requirement before judging price.
Process Design Basis
This crop-specific review separates the main process decisions before capacity and equipment are finalized.
| Design Checkpoint | Reference Data or Decision | Effect on the Line |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit and stone profile | Record variety, size distribution, maturity and stone-to-flesh ratio for the receiving season. | These values influence destoner geometry, trimming labor, pulp recovery and the realistic intake-to-puree balance. |
| Pulp texture | Define the refining screen sequence and whether fiber is acceptable in puree, nectar base or concentrate. | Refining changes yield, mouthfeel, waste moisture, pump selection and fouling in the thermal section. |
| Thermal feed condition | Provide viscosity at sterilization temperature together with Brix and particle data. | Viscosity at sterilization controls pressure drop, tube passage, holding behavior and aseptic filler feed stability. |
- Do not size destoning from nominal intake without checking fruit size and stone variation.
- Separate puree yield from total fruit intake when calculating sterile filling capacity.
- Review concentrate as an optional downstream branch because it changes evaporation and fouling risk substantially.
| RFQ Item | Reference Information to Provide | Engineering Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Finished products | mango pulp, mango puree, nectar base, concentrate and aseptic mango ingredient | Different products may share the same front end but require different pulping, heat treatment, filling and storage logic. |
| Critical concern | stone removal, fiber control, viscosity, tropical aroma, color retention, heat exchanger fouling and aseptic transfer | 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. |

Buyer engineering questions
Mango Processing Line Questions Buyers Ask Before RFQ
Direct answers below explain the decisions that change process scope, equipment selection and quotation quality.
What mango data is needed to select a destoning machine?
Provide mango variety, average size, size distribution, maturity, stone shape and expected intake. A sample or clear section photographs are useful when varieties differ from common references. Destoner settings affect stone breakage, pulp left on the stone, downstream fiber load and the realistic mass balance from fresh mango to puree.
Does mango puree require single-stage or double-stage pulping?
A single stage may be sufficient when destoning is clean and the required puree texture allows more fiber. Double-stage pulping is considered when coarse separation and finer refining should be controlled separately. Screen opening, rotor speed, maturity and target mouthfeel must be balanced because over-refining can reduce useful yield and increase waste moisture.
How is oxidation reduced during mango pulp production?
Reduce oxidation by limiting open holding, avoiding unnecessary splashing, using closed transfer after pulping and matching tank residence time to line flow. Vacuum deaeration and timely heat treatment may support color and aroma retention. The exact sequence depends on recipe, pH, viscosity and whether the product is puree, nectar base or concentrate.
Why may mango puree need a tube-in-tube sterilizer?
Tube-in-tube sterilization is considered when mango puree has viscosity, fiber or particles that make narrow passages and plate channels unsuitable. The decision depends on viscosity at processing temperature, particle dimensions, pressure drop, holding time and cleaning behavior. Low-viscosity mango juice may use a different heat exchanger after engineering review.
Which packaging formats are common for industrial mango pulp?
Industrial mango pulp is often discussed for aseptic bags in drums or bins when ambient bulk storage and ingredient distribution are required. Retail bottles, pouches or cans use a different filling and post-treatment route. Package size, storage condition, shelf-life target and customer handling system should be confirmed before sterilizer and filler selection.
