Lychee (Litchi) Processing Line
The EasyReal lychee processing system preserves the natural aroma and nutritional value of this delicate tropical fruit. Our engineers design the line to handle high volumes while protecting fruit integrity during dehulling and deseeding.
We start with bubble washing systems to remove surface impurities, followed by roller sorting and gentle conveyor feeding. The peeling and pitting station uses blade or mechanical cutters to separate seed and shell. The next steps differ depending on your product goal.
For juice, our extraction system includes a lychee pulping machine ，enzyme treatment, seperation, etc. It removes fibrous residue while retaining flavor. For puree/pulp, we adjust screen mesh sizes and use vacuum deaerators to protect color and reduce oxidation.
Canned fruit lines include sugar syrup preparation, vacuum deaeration, and automatic tin filling. For all products, we provide tube-in-tube or tubular sterilizers, aseptic or hot filling systems, and automatic CIP for easy cleaning.
The entire line is managed via PLC and touch-screen interface. You can monitor flow rates, temperature, sterilization curves, and yield in real time. Whether you produce 500kg/h or 10 tons per hour, we offer modular designs to scale as needed.
Lychee’s sweet floral aroma and juicy texture make it popular in many product categories. EasyReal’s processing solutions help you serve high-demand global markets:
• Canned lychees in syrup: A classic product for retail and catering. We automate the shelling, deseeding, and vacuum syrup filling process to ensure consistency and shelf stability.
• Lychee juice concentrate: Ideal for bottling plants or ingredient supply chains. Our multi-effect evaporator condenses juice with high aroma retention and low energy use.
• NFC lychee beverage: For cold-chain markets or high-end drinks, we offer enzymatic-free systems to keep the fruit’s natural flavor.
• Lychee puree: Used in smoothies, ice cream, yogurt, and baby food. Our processing line controls pulp viscosity and reduces browning.
Target users include juice brands, canned fruit exporters, tropical fruit processors, and R&D labs. Whether you operate in Southeast Asia, Latin America, or Africa, we adjust designs to meet your raw fruit specs, water quality, and packaging needs.
Choosing the best line depends on your final product, daily capacity, and budget. We guide you through key decision points:
1. End product type:
• Juice needs separation, deaeration & sterilizing.
• Puree needs controlled texture
• Canned fruit needs peeling, syrup cooking, and vacuum canning.
2. Packaging form:
• Hot filling for PET/PP bottles (juice).
• Aseptic filling for bag-in-drum puree or industrial juice.
• Can or tin filling for whole lychee.
3. Line capacity options:
• Entry scale: 500–1,000 kg/h (for pilot or local markets)
• Mid-scale: 2–5 tons/h (for regional distribution)
• Industrial scale: 8–15 tons/h (export-level production)
We offer modular equipment for phased expansion. All systems comply with CE, FDA, or GMP standards.
For Juice/Puree:
Fresh lychee → Bubble washer → Roller sorting → Peeling & pitting → Pulping → Juice refining →evaporation(if need) → Deaeration → Sterilization → Filling → Packing
For Canned Lychee in Syrup:
Fresh lychee → Bubble washer → Roller sorting → Peeling & pitting → Shape grading → Vacuum syrup filling → Exhausting → Seaming → Pasteurization → Cooling → Labeling
Each path uses different machine groups and flow speeds. We help you design the exact flow that fits your raw lychee quality and product goals.
1. Lychee Bubble Washer
This washer removes surface dust, pesticides, and insects using water agitation and air bubble flow.
It lifts fruit gently with a mesh conveyor and includes a spray rinsing system at the outlet. Operators can add chlorine or ozone to disinfect the water. The unit is made of food-grade stainless steel and allows speed adjustment via inverter.
Compared to traditional washing tanks, the bubble washer reduces bruising and improves sanitation.
2. Lychee Peeling and Pitting Machine
This station separates the hard shell and seeds without crushing the fruit pulp.
We offer mechanical or pneumatic models depending on capacity and lychee size. Compared with manual peeling, this improves yield and saves labor.
3. Lychee Pulping & Refining Machine
This machine extracts pulp and filters fibers using dual screens.
The lychee enters the rotating drum where beaters push it through screens. Mesh sizes range from 0.5mm to 2.0mm depending on juice vs puree use.
It ensures smooth texture, stable yield, and flavor retention. This system is adjustable for other fruits like longan or rambutan.
4. Tubular Sterilizer for Lychee Juice
Sterilizer uses superheated water in the outer tubes to heat lychee juice in the inner tubes.
It kills enzymes and bacteria while protecting taste. The unit has temperature control, auto-backpressure valves, and CIP cleaning.
For puree or concentrated puree, we adopt tube-in-tube sterilizer for sterilization
The EasyReal lychee line adapts to fresh, frozen, or partially peeled raw fruit.
You can feed whole lychees, pre-pitted fruit, or vacuum-packed semi-processed fruit. Our dehulling and sorting systems adjust for lychee size, firmness, and skin texture.
Output can switch between formats:
• From puree to juice by changing mesh size and process step.
• From canned fruit to fresh-packed NFC drinks by adopting different filling methods.
• From local 500ml PET bottles to 220L aseptic drums by changing the different fillers.
Each machine is built for quick changeovers. With smart flow controls and modular piping, you reduce downtime and increase SKU range.
EasyReal equips the lychee processing line with a fully integrated smart control system based on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and HMI (Human-Machine Interface).
Operators manage the entire production via a touch screen interface. You can set temperature points, control flow rates, monitor sterilization time, and track filling speed in real time. The system logs historical data for traceable records and helps you fine-tune batch quality.
We use brand-name Siemens PLC and industrial-grade sensors for pressure, temperature, and level detection. The interface displays key alarms and allows one-click CIP cycle initiation.
In large-capacity lines, we offer remote connectivity via Ethernet or wireless modules. You can check production performance from your office, download reports, or integrate the system with your MES or ERP.
Compared to manual lines, our smart control reduces operator error, shortens training time, and gives you a clear dashboard view of your fruit-to-product conversion.
In R&D-scale or pilot plants, we offer each batch can store setpoints for temperature curves, valve timings, and product outputs.
