Pineapple Processing Line
The EasyReal Pineapple Processing Line offers a complete set of modular units that convert fresh pineapples into finished products. Each section is engineered to maximize juice recovery and minimize manual labor. The line can handle washing, crushing, juice extraction, enzymatic clarification, vacuum degassing, and thermal treatment in a fully automatic workflow.
We use stainless steel structures and food-grade contact surfaces throughout the system.
The pineapple juice evaporator adopts falling-film type. It concentrates the juice while retaining aroma and nutrients. Our tubular sterilizer uses superheated water, not direct steam, to prevent product burn. For packaging, the line supports aseptic bag fillers for B2B clients and rotary bottle fillers for retail juice formats.
Each line is controlled via EasyReal’s smart PLC + HMI interface, which tracks temperature, flow rate, and sterilization time in real time. We help you monitor every step—from fruit input to final packaging—ensuring HACCP compliance and energy savings.
The EasyReal Pineapple Processing Line is ideal for tropical fruit processors, beverage manufacturers, and food brands aiming to expand pineapple-based product lines. Its modular design allows you to produce:
● Clear or cloudy pineapple juice for RTD beverage brands
● Pineapple jam for baking, ice cream, and baby food sectors
● Concentrated pineapple juice for reconstitution and export
● Canned pineapple slices or cubes for supermarket chains
● Fermentation-grade juice for wine or vinegar production
Whether you serve the juice market, the snack industry, or foodservice channels, EasyReal delivers the flexibility you need to meet changing market demand.
Choosing the right pineapple processing configuration depends on your product goal, factory size, and packaging format. EasyReal offers full technical support to help you plan efficiently.
Start by selecting your end product type:
● For clear juice: include enzymatic treatment + filtration
● For cloudy juice: skip clarification, retain fiber for body
● For jam: peeling + cooking+ tube-in-tube sterilization
● For canned fruit: include slicer, can washer, syrup system
Next, choose the line capacity:
● 500 kg/h to 1 ton/h: best for pilot or startup lines
● 3 to 5 tons/h: fits medium-sized juice or puree factories
● 10+ tons/h: industrial lines with automation and CIP
Then define your packaging target:
● Aseptic bag-in-drum: good for puree and concentrate
● PET or glass bottle: for consumer juice products
● Tin cans (300–850g): for sliced pineapple or fruit mix
We’ll match each setup with appropriate machines and layout drawings. Our team also provides utilities calculation, installation support, and operator training.
The full pineapple processing workflow includes:
1.Raw Material Reception
Fresh pineapples are unloaded, inspected, and stored under shade.
2.Washing & Brushing
A fruit washing machine removes dust, soil, and surface germs.
3.Peeling & Coring
Automatic peeling machines strip the shell and core for clean pulp access to produce fruit jam.
4.Crushing
A pineapple crushing machine breaks fruit into pulp-friendly size for further processing(juice extraction or pulping)
5.Juice Extraction Collection
Juice is extracted for NFC or goes to enzymatic treatment for clarification.
6.Vacuum Deaeration
Removes oxygen to prevent spoilage and color degradation.
7.Evaporation (if concentrate)
Falling-film evaporator thickens juice to 65° Brix for storage.
8.Sterilization
Tube-in-tube or tube-in-shell sterilizers kill microbes with hot water heating.
9.Aseptic or Non-Aseptic Filling
Juice goes into drums, bottles, or cans depending on your output type.
10.Packing & Storage
Finished products are packed, coded, and ready for warehouse or cold chain.
Each step can be adjusted or skipped based on the end product.
Pineapple Crushing Machine
This crusher uses serrated hammer knife mounted on a horizontal shaft. It slices fibrous pineapple bodies into uniform pieces for juicing. The adjustable gap allows size control and protects juice sacs from damage. A stainless hopper and discharge port ensure sanitary operation. Compared to manual chopping, it reduces labor by 80% and speeds up material preparation.
Pineapple Pulping Machine
The pulper applies centrifugal force and internal screens to separate pulp, skin. For pineapple, the double-stage model with 1.2mm mesh on the first stage and 0.8mm on the second offers best results. It delivers a smooth puree or juice base. EasyReal’s pulper features quick-disassembly design and low vibration during long operation.
Pineapple Evaporator – Falling Film Type
For pineapple juice concentrate, we use a multi-effect falling film evaporator. Juice flows along the inner tube walls, forming a thin film that evaporates under vacuum. This design protects heat-sensitive compounds like vitamin C and aroma esters. Compared to forced circulation models, it consumes less energy and works better for low-viscosity juices.
Tube-in-Tube Pineapple Sterilizer
This sterilizer heats pineapple jam or puree using superheated water circulating in outer tubes. The product flows through inner tubes made of food-grade stainless steel. It ensures uniform heating without direct steam. The system includes pressure balancing, temperature recording, and CIP cleaning ports. It handles both thin juice and thicker jam.
Aseptic Bag Filling Machine for Pineapple Products
This filler works under sterile conditions and fills pineapple juice concentrate or jam into 5L–220L bags. It features steam barrier to ensure the system aseptic. A touch screen helps operators adjust filling speed and temperature. It works with pre-sterilized bags.
Pineapple Can Filling & Seaming Machine
For canned pineapple slices or tidbits, this machine fills cut pieces and syrup into tin cans.
The EasyReal Pineapple Processing Line handles multiple fruit varieties and supports flexible product switching. It processes:
● Smooth Cayenne: ideal for clear juice and canned rings
● MD2 (Del Monte Gold): preferred for sweet puree and baby food
● Queen Victoria: used for tropical blend juices or snacks
● Red Spanish: processed for industrial concentrate or vinegar base
You can easily switch between juice, puree, and canned formats by adjusting the pulper mesh size, sterilization parameters, and packaging module. The line supports seasonal capacity changes and hybrid production—such as combining pineapple with mango, passion fruit, or orange.
The system allows operators to switch production lines within hours, not days. A centralized CIP system cleans all tanks and pipes using hot water and caustic solutions. This reduces downtime and improves food safety.
The EasyReal Pineapple Processing Line uses a fully integrated PLC + HMI control system to manage every processing step. From crushing to aseptic filling, all machines run under one smart control logic that ensures stable product quality and operator safety.
The main control unit uses Siemens PLC, Siemens touch screen. Operators can set temperature, flow rate, tank level, and sterilization parameters directly on the HMI. Each section has safety sensors and alarms. If any valve leaks or temperature deviates, the system will stop and trigger visual alerts.
We log all production data for traceability and quality audits. The system stores cleaning cycles, temperature curves, and filling volumes in memory. You can export data via USB or Ethernet. With optional remote access, EasyReal technicians can monitor the system and help troubleshoot without visiting your site.
The CIP cleaning system is also managed by the PLC. It runs hot water and alkaline or acid solution in preset cycles. This ensures thorough cleaning after each production batch. The entire system is designed to support food safety standards like HACCP and FDA FSMA.
Compared to manual operation or locally wired buttons, our centralized control reduces training time and improves uptime. You get peace of mind and higher yield—batch after batch.
