RFQ parameters
Tamarind Processing Line RFQ Data
| Parameter | Typical Reference | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Raw material | Tamarind pulp may require shell removal, soaking and seed separation before paste or extract production. | Defines washing, sorting, trimming and extraction route. |
| Finished product | Tamarind paste, extract, concentrate, sauce 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, pouch, jar, 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 Tamarind Processing Line Route
Choose paste for sauce and culinary use; choose extract or concentrate when filtration and Brix are required.

FAQ
Tamarind Processing Line FAQ
What is the main design point for Tamarind Processing Line?
The main design point is soaking and seed or fiber separation before paste or extract production.
Can the Tamarind 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, pouch, jar, 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.
