China — August 2024 — Shanghai EasyReal Machinery Co., Ltd. (EasyReal, easireal.com) supplied a complete processing system for Beijing Beibingyang Food Co., Ltd. The project includes an 8000L/h 3-effect 5-stage falling film evaporation system, an automatic tubular sterilizer, and a double-head aseptic bag filling system.
This project processes freshly squeezed NFC citrus juice and produces citrus juice concentrate. The final product is packed in 220L aseptic aluminum foil bags for bulk storage and transport.
• Customer: Beijing Beibingyang Food Co., Ltd.
• Country: China
• Project: 3-effect 5-stage falling film evaporation system, automatic tubular sterilizer, and double-head aseptic bag filling system
• Evaporation capacity: 8000 liters/hour
• Raw material: freshly squeezed NFC citrus juice
• Final product: citrus juice concentrate
• Packaging: 220L aseptic aluminum foil bags
• Project date: August 2024
Raw Material
The system handles freshly squeezed NFC citrus juice. NFC juice contains a high water content, so concentration is an important step when the customer needs more efficient storage and transport.
Final Product
The project produces citrus juice concentrate. After concentration and sterilization, the product is filled into 220L aseptic aluminum foil bags for bulk handling.
This packaging format is suitable for industrial storage, long-distance transport, and later downstream use.
1) 3-Effect 5-Stage Falling Film Evaporation System
The line includes an 8000L/h 3-effect 5-stage falling film evaporation system. This section removes water from NFC citrus juice and raises the solids content to produce citrus juice concentrate.
A falling film evaporator is a practical choice for juice concentration because it supports:
• continuous operation
• stable heat transfer
• high water removal efficiency
• concentration of liquid food products in a compact process layout
The multi-effect design also helps improve steam use and reduces overall energy consumption compared with a single-effect system.
2) Automatic Tubular Sterilizer
After concentration, the product enters the automatic tubular sterilizer. This section applies controlled heat treatment before aseptic filling.
The tubular design supports hygienic processing and helps protect product stability during bulk packaging. It is widely used for liquid food products that need safe aseptic handling.
3) Double-Head Aseptic Bag Filling System
The project also includes a double-head aseptic bag filling system. This section fills the concentrate into 220L aseptic aluminum foil bags.
A double-head design helps improve filling efficiency and supports steady bulk output in industrial production.
This project follows a clear process path:
1. Receive NFC citrus juice
2. Concentrate the juice through the 3-effect 5-stage falling film evaporation system
3. Apply heat treatment with the automatic tubular sterilizer
4. Fill the final product through the double-head aseptic bag filling system
5. Pack citrus juice concentrate into 220L aseptic aluminum foil bags
This route creates a stable process from liquid juice input to bulk concentrate output.
Fresh NFC citrus juice is bulky and costly to move in large volumes. A concentration system solves that problem by removing water and creating a higher-value concentrate.
This project gives the customer several practical advantages:
Lower Storage Cost
Concentrated juice needs less storage space than low-Brix NFC juice.
Lower Transport Cost
The customer ships less water and more product solids. This improves logistics efficiency.
Better Bulk Handling
Aseptic bags support safe bulk storage and bulk transport. They also fit later reprocessing or beverage production.
Stable Industrial Output
The evaporation, sterilization, and filling sections work together as one matched system. This helps the customer run a more stable production process.
The falling film evaporation system is one of the core sections in this project. For citrus juice concentration, this design offers several benefits:
• fast heat transfer
• efficient evaporation
• continuous concentration
• suitable operation for large-capacity liquid processing
• practical integration with sterilization and aseptic filling systems
The 3-effect 5-stage configuration also supports better steam economy and a more efficient production layout.
The final product is packed in 220L aseptic aluminum foil bags. This packaging format is commonly used for industrial juice concentrate handling.
It supports:
• bulk storage
• bulk transport
• later blending or beverage production
• safer handling in large-volume processing environments
This makes the project suitable not only for concentration, but also for industrial supply chain planning.
This project gives Beijing Beibingyang Food Co., Ltd. a complete concentration and aseptic bulk filling solution for citrus juice.
The system helps the customer:
• process freshly squeezed NFC citrus juice
• concentrate it with an 8000L/h evaporation system
• stabilize the product through tubular sterilization
• fill it efficiently with a double-head aseptic bag filling system
• store and transport the final product in 220L aseptic bags
For citrus juice concentrate production, this is a practical route that connects processing efficiency with bulk logistics efficiency.
