Juice drink production involves two main methods: using fresh fruit or fruit powder.
**1. Using Fresh Fruit:**
- **Selection Criteria:** Choose fruits with high juice yield, good sensory qualities, nutritional value, freshness, and commercial value. Ideal fruits include apples (77–86% juice yield), pears (78–82%), grapes (76–85%), strawberries (70–80%), and citrus fruits (40–50%).
- **Process Steps:**
1. Fruit selection
2. Washing
3. Crushing
4. Juice extraction and coarse filtration
5. Clarification and fine filtration
6. Homogenization and deaeration
7. Aroma recovery
8. Blending and adjustment
**2. Using Fruit Powder:**
- **Process:** Mix fruit powder with sweeteners, coloring, and flavorings to create a finished fruit-flavored beverage.
**Production Line Components:**
1. **Water Treatment:**
- Includes raw water tank, pumps, filters, reverse osmosis, UV sterilizer, and storage tanks.
- Water is used for bottle rinsing, beverage blending, and equipment cleaning.
2. **Syrup Preparation and Blending:**
- Pure water → Sugar boiler → Mixing tank (sugar, juice, additives) → Homogenizer → Hot/cold tanks → Vacuum degassing → Pasteurizer.
- Hot and cold tanks maintain the beverage at 85°C for quality preservation.
3. **Filling, Packaging, and Sales:**
- Equipment includes blow molding machines, 3-in-1 filling machines (rinsing, filling, capping), sterilization, cooling, labeling, and packaging machines.
- The 3-in-1 hot filling machine ensures beverages are filled at high temperatures (85°C) for sterilization and quality.
This comprehensive process ensures the production of high-quality, appealing, and profitable fruit-flavored beverages.
