Carrot Processing Line

As we continue to improve and develop, EasyReal Tech. always designs different carrot processing production lines for different customers in line with the high standards of the European Union. The following is a brief introduction to the main processes. If you have any questions, you can contact us at any time.

Washing:

It is usually cleaned in two steps. First, the soil on the surface of the carrots is removed, and then a second cleaning is performed to ensure that the carrots entering the subsequent sections meet production needs. If the raw material is pre-washed carrot, it’s enough to adopt once cleaning.

Sorting:

Pick out unqualified carrots and debris (weeds, twigs, etc.) that have not been removed during the cleaning process. Due to not too much dirt to remove here, so this step is normally completed on mesh belt conveyor by manual.

Precooking/Blanching and Peeling:
Mainly used for soften surface of carrot to make peeling and pulping more available. Continuous precooking machine mainly adopts hot water to process carrot and soften its surface. Then peeling it easily. Continuous blanching machine adopts steam to contact with carrot directly and scald carrot’s surface to a death of 1~2mm. This way is high efficiency, high peeling rate and less material loss rate. At the same time, the cost of related blanching machines is much higher than that of pre-cooking equipment. Therefore, considering the overall cost performance, we usually recommend customers to use pre-cooking machines.

Crushing and Preheating;

Peeled carrot has to be crushed before entering to preheater. EasyReal’s hammer crusher adopts Italian technology, adopts high quality SUS304 as main structure, 1470rpm rotating speed can get better cutting effect. The crushed carrots need to be heated in tube-in-tube type preheater to soften the fibers and to get consequently the maximum juice/pulp yield.

Juice Extracting

For making juice, the belt presser is ideal extracting machine for choice. The clients can decide to use one or two units belt presser to squeeze juice once or twice according to their actual needs.

Pulping :

EasyReal’s Pulping and refining machine can be customized according to clients’ requirements. The diameter of pulping machine’s screen aperture can be chosen combined with actual situation. First stage can be φ1.2mm, second stage can be φ0.8mm or φ0.6mm. The rotating speed is 1470rpm, can guarantee the good pulping effect. For making pulping machine work more stable and safety, we also adopt heavy duty design platform. Our pulping and refining machine adopt Italian technology and confirm to Euro-standard. And it can be supplicated to processing many types fruits and vegetables, such as apple, pear, berry, pumpkin, etc.

Evaporation

For concentrated juice, falling film type evaporator will be necessary. Double-effect type, triple-effect, etc, are available for your choice.

For concentrated pulp/puree, forced circulation type evaporator needs to be equipped according to actual production needs.

Both of them will equip with online Online refractometer to monitor if the brix of concentrate has reached to production need, then feedback signal to control system and control it discharge automatically to realize automatic production.

Sterilizing:

Juice products need to adopt tubular type sterilizer for sterilization. Puree products need to adopt Tube-in-tube type sterilizer due to its specific character- high viscosity. EasyReal can also supply plate type sterilizer for low viscosity products.

Filling section:

Natural/concentrated juice or puree can be filled in aseptic bag in drum or bag in box. EasyReal’s patent product-Aseptic bag filler can work well here. If the clients do blending after juice extracting/pulping and then choose to fill products into small packages(Tin can, glass bottle, plastic bottle, pouch, etc.), EasyReal can equip corresponding filling section to meet production requirements.

Control system of the whole line:

EasyReal’s standard configuration of control system is as followed:

IP54 protection grade, Germany Siemens PLC, Germany Siemens Touch Screen, Denmark Danfoss frequency convertor, France Schneider Low-voltage apparatus, France Schneider Intermediate relay, China Taiwan Airtac Pneumatic element, Frequency converter, Switzerland ABB button and switch, etc.

As the brain of the whole line, control system has to be high quality, high stability, safety enough. All brands and related models are selected based on our years of experience. In order to meet the different needs of different customers, we have been making continuous progress and improving process configurations to achieve the purpose of providing customers with the best solutions.
