Garlic Processing Line | Garlic Paste & Powder Production
EasyReal engineers the Garlic Processing Line around controlled thermal and mechanical logic. Raw garlic is lifted through a sorting conveyor into a clove separator that uses gentle roller pressure to split heads without crushing. A dry-type peeler then applies compressed air and abrasive rotation to remove skins without water waste. Peeled cloves move to a grinding section that creates uniform paste.
The tube-in-tube sterilizer sterilize the garlic paste under adjustable temperatures, inactivating enzymes without flavor loss. The system includes automated CIP/SIP functions, stainless-steel contact surfaces (SS316L), and a touch-screen HMI for recipe selection and data logging. Compact skid modules simplify maintenance and utility connections for tight factory layouts.
The Garlic Processing Line serves food processors, condiment factories, ready-meal plants, and frozen ingredient suppliers. Typical end products include sterilized garlic paste for sauces, garlic oil bases, dehydrated granules, and powder for seasoning mixes. Operators can switch between fresh, frozen, or rehydrated inputs within the same recipe. Sanitary design meets HACCP and ISO 22000 audits, while modular layout simplifies SKU changeovers. As a result, plants achieve steady output quality, shorter cleaning time, and fewer flavor-related complaints.
Garlic contains high-sulfur compounds (allicin) that react quickly with oxygen and metal ions. Ordinary mixers or open tanks cause dark paste and odor loss. The EasyReal line uses closed transfer, anti-corrosive components, and temperature control below 70 °C during blending to preserve active flavor molecules. Its sterilization module ensures microbial safety without overcooking. Safety interlocks and sanitary valves prevent cross-contamination during CIP cycles.
When selecting capacity, consider batch size and shift pattern. A 500 kg/h line serves a condiment plant producing 8 tons per shift. Key modules include a separator, dry peeler, grinder/pulper, tube-in-tube sterilizer, and aseptic filler/packaging machine. Optional units such as cold storage bins or powder dryers extend seasonal flexibility. EasyReal also offers pilot lines for R&D proof before full-scale installation.
1. Raw garlic intake and sorting → manual inspection and foreign-matter removal
2. Clove separation → mechanical roller separator splits bulbs gently
3. Peeling → dry-air peeler removes skins without water
4. Grinding / pulping → make garlic paste more smooth
5 Sterilization → tube-in-tube UHT ensures safety and shelf life
6. Aseptic filling / packing → paste or powder sealed in bags, jars, or drums
Paste and powder branches differ: paste lines include UHT sterilization and filling, while powder lines add a dryer and fine grinder. All steps are interlocked under PLC logic to maintain traceability and hygiene.
① Garlic Clove Separator – Gentle Division without Damage
Rubber rollers and adjustable gaps split bulbs into cloves while avoiding crushing. A vibrating sieve removes husks and dust before peeling. Frequency-controlled drives adapt to garlic size and hardness.
② Dry Type Peeling Machine – Water-Saving Air Jet System
Removes skins through friction and high-pressure airflow, eliminating water use and wastewater costs. Anti-static design reduces adhesion. Peeling efficiency exceeds 95 % with minimal surface loss.
③ Pulping / Grinding Machine
A stainless-steel grinder's variable-speed knives ensure uniform particle size.
④ Tube-in-Tube Sterilizer – Precise Thermal Control
It can sterilize garlic paste rapidly with uniform temperature. Steam valves and PLC recipes regulate ΔT setpoints for enzyme inactivation without flavor loss.
⑤ Aseptic Filling Cabinet – Sterile Sealing for Long Shelf Life
Fills paste into sterile bags or drums. Automatic steam sterilization of nozzles and caps ensures microbial safety.
The line handles fresh garlic, cold-stored cloves, or frozen puree. Each recipe automatically adjusts temperature, vacuum, and residence time to compensate for moisture and fiber differences. Operators can switch between paste and powder production under one control framework. Modular skids allow future expansion into garlic-ginger or mixed spice lines. Finished products include sterilized paste (4.5 kg bag-in-box or 200 kg drum), granules (2–5 mm cut), and powder (< 100 mesh).
EasyReal deploys a Siemens PLC with touch-screen HMI, integrating recipe management, trend logging, and automatic CIP cycles. Operators select product type on the HMI, and the system sets temperature, and pump speed accordingly. Batch IDs and alarms are recorded for traceability. Ethernet and VPN modules enable remote support by EasyReal engineers worldwide. Energy and water reports help plants evaluate OPEX and schedule preventive maintenance.
From layout and P&ID design to fabrication, commissioning, and training, Shanghai EasyReal Machinery Co., Ltd. delivers turn-key garlic processing plants. Clients can start with a pilot line to test recipes and scale up after verification. Every system is backed by 25 + years of industry experience and installations across 30 countries.
