Production line components
**
Raw material processing equipment
Washing machine: Used for cleaning dirt, soil, and pesticide residues on the surface of oranges. Common types include spray washing machines and bubble washing machines. Oranges are cleaned by means of high-pressure water spraying or bubble rolling. Food processing equipment - orange washing machine.
Sorting machine: Can classify and screen oranges according to size, shape, color, and flaws, and remove rotten, deteriorated, or substandard oranges. There are mechanical sorting and photoelectric sorting methods. Food processing equipment - orange sorting machine.
Juicing machine: Mainly there are press juicers and centrifugal juicers. Press juicers extrude orange juice by mechanical pressure; centrifugal juicers separate orange juice by high-speed rotation. Food processing equipment - orange juicing machine.
Juice processing equipment
Filtering equipment: Includes vibrating screens, plate and frame filter presses, bag filters, etc., used to remove solid impurities such as pomace, peel, and seeds from orange juice and improve the clarity of orange juice. Food processing equipment - orange juice filtering equipment.
Clarifying equipment: Adopts methods such as enzymatic clarification, centrifugal clarification, and diatomite filtration to further remove fine particles and colloidal substances in orange juice and make it more clear and transparent.
Homogenizing equipment: Through a high-pressure homogenizer, the pulp particles in orange juice are broken down and refined and evenly dispersed to prevent pulp from settling and make the taste of orange juice more delicate and uniform. Food processing equipment - orange juice homogenizer.
Degassing equipment: Such as vacuum degassing tanks, which remove oxygen and other gases from orange juice under vacuum conditions to prevent oxidation and deterioration of orange juice, extend the shelf life, and improve the flavor and color of orange juice. Food processing equipment - orange juice degassing equipment.
Sterilization and packaging equipment
Sterilization equipment: Common ones include ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilizers (UHT), tubular sterilizers, plate sterilizers, etc., which can heat orange juice to a high temperature in a short time to kill bacteria, molds, yeasts and other microorganisms and meet the requirements of commercial sterility. Food processing equipment - orange juice sterilization equipment.
Packaging equipment: Includes filling machines, sealing machines, labeling machines, and inkjet printers. According to packaging forms, filling machines can be divided into glass bottle filling machines, PET bottle filling machines, can filling machines, etc.; sealing machines are used to seal packaging containers; labeling machines and inkjet printers complete label pasting and printing of production date, batch and other information respectively. Food processing equipment - orange juice packaging equipment.

Production process
**
Raw material selection and cleaning: Select fresh oranges with appropriate maturity and no pests and diseases as raw materials, and clean them with clean water or water with an appropriate amount of disinfectant to remove surface impurities.
Juicing: Cleaned oranges can be juiced directly or juiced after peeling and deseeding first to obtain orange juice. Common juicing methods include pressing and centrifugation.
Filtering and clarifying: Remove large particles of impurities through filtering equipment, and then use the clarifying process to remove fine particles and colloids to obtain clarified orange juice.
Blending: According to the product formula, add an appropriate amount of sugar, acid, water, essence, pigment, stabilizer and other additives to adjust the taste, flavor and color of orange juice.
Homogenizing and degassing: Homogenize the blended orange juice to make the components uniform, and then perform degassing operations to remove gases.
Sterilization: Use ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization or other appropriate sterilization methods to sterilize orange juice, kill microorganisms, and ensure the safety and shelf life of products.
Packaging: Fill the sterilized orange juice into sterilized packaging containers such as glass bottles, PET bottles, and cans while it is still hot, and then perform packaging processes such as sealing, labeling, and inkjet printing to make finished products.

Equipment selection points
**
Production capacity: According to the production scale and market demand of the enterprise, select equipment with appropriate production capacity, such as production lines that can produce several thousand to tens of thousands of bottles per hour.
Equipment material: Stainless steel materials that meet food hygiene standards should be selected, such as 304 or 316L stainless steel, to ensure that the equipment is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and will not affect the quality of orange juice.
Degree of automation: High-degree-of-automation production lines can improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure the stability of product quality. For example, PLC control systems can be used to realize the automated operation and monitoring of equipment.
Brand and after-sales service: Select well-known brands and equipment suppliers with good after-sales service so that timely maintenance can be obtained when equipment fails to ensure the normal operation of the production line.
