Pomegranate Processing Line
The EasyReal Pomegranate Processing Line offers a fully automated solution that minimizes labor and maximizes extraction efficiency. From fruit reception to final packaging, each step uses specialized machinery that preserves nutrients, removes bitterness, and guarantees a smooth production flow.
The line starts with a pomegranate de-crowning and washing system to eliminate debris and crown residues. An enzymatic treatment tank breaks down pectin, which improves filtration and juice clarity. The juice can be further clarified or remain cloudy based on the desired product.
EasyReal integrates vacuum deaerators and evaporation systems to create shelf-stable concentrates without losing flavor. We offer falling film evaporators for juice concentration. All product-contact parts are made of SUS 304/316L stainless steel, and the line meets FDA, CE, and HACCP certifications.
Our PLC + HMI smart system records all batch parameters, alerts for deviations, and supports remote troubleshooting. You can track production performance, cleaning cycles, and energy usage with just a few taps.
The EasyReal Pomegranate Processing Line serves multiple industry applications across fruit juice, functional beverage, and food ingredient sectors.
• Juice Manufacturers use this line to produce NFC pomegranate juice, pomegranate nectar, and blended drinks (e.g., pomegranate + apple or pomegranate + grape).
• Concentrate Exporters rely on our multi-effect evaporation systems to make 65–70 °Brix pomegranate concentrate for global trade.
• Contract Packagers use the aseptic filling unit to serve seasonal brands and juice startups with safe, shelf-stable packaging.
With growing consumer demand for immune-boosting, heart-healthy, and natural color-rich foods, the EasyReal Pomegranate Line helps clients create high-value, clean-label products quickly and safely.
Pomegranate has a complex structure with peel, arils (juice sacs), seeds, and bitter rind membranes. Efficient extraction requires special care to avoid seed breakage, which releases unwanted tannins that make the juice taste astringent.
Pomegranate juice is sensitive to oxygen and heat. Without proper deaeration and sterilization, the color turns brown and the flavor degrades. EasyReal solves this with low-temperature vacuum deaeration, tube-in-tube pasteurization, and short-time sterilization to retain natural color and nutrients like vitamin C, polyphenols, and anthocyanins.
These unique challenges demand a processing line that combines mechanical delicacy with thermal precision. EasyReal engineers every module around pomegranate’s biological traits to protect yield, taste, and shelf life.
Choosing the right configuration depends on your production goals, raw material type, and packaging format.
Start by defining your output product:
● For clear juice, you need clarification and filtration modules.
● For cloudy juice or nectar, use enzymatic tanks and coarse filters.
● For concentrates, add evaporation units.
Next, match your daily processing capacity:
● Small scale: 500–2,000 kg/h (ideal for startups and seasonal farms)
● Medium scale: 3,000–6,000 kg/h (for regional juice processors)
● Large scale: 10,000–20,000 kg/h (for export and industrial-grade production)
Finally, select your packaging:
● For B2B sale: use aseptic bag-in-drum fillers
● For direct-to-consumer: add bottle, can, or pouch filling units
EasyReal provides layout drawings, utility specifications, and cost breakdowns for every setup. Our team helps you check local factory conditions, compare processing options, and adjust the line to fit your business stage.
Here’s how the EasyReal Pomegranate Processing Line transforms fruit into finished products:
1.Fruit Reception & Sorting
– Manual or roller-type sorting system removes spoiled fruits and debris.
2.De-Crowning & Washing
– Crown removal machine + bubble washer cleans dust and field contaminants.
3.Juice Extraction
– belt juice extractor can press pomegranate to get more juice.
4.Enzymatic Treatment (optional)
– Heated tank breaks pectin for better filtration and juice clarity.
5.Filtration & Clarification
– Ultrafiltration unit or centrifugal separator produces clear or cloudy juice.
6.Vacuum Deaeration
– Removes air bubbles and protects flavor, especially before heating.
7.Evaporation (for concentrate juice)
– Falling film or forced circulation system removes water gently.
8.Sterilization
– Tubular pasteurizer kills germs with short-time heating.
9.Aseptic Filling
– Final juice or concentrate enters sterile bags or drums ready for storage or sale.
1. Pomegranate Washing Machine
2. Pomegranate juice extractor
3. Enzymatic Treatment Tank
This tank improves juice clarity and filtration efficiency by breaking down pectin.
It uses stainless steel jacketed walls for controlled heating (45–55°C).
The tank is equipped with a low-speed agitator, temperature controller, and CIP spray balls.
It helps remove haze-forming compounds, especially when producing clear juice.
4. Falling Film Evaporator
This evaporator concentrates juice or extract by removing water under vacuum.
It uses vertical stainless-steel tubes with product flowing as a thin film inside.
Steam heats the tube wall, while vacuum lowers boiling temperature (65–75°C).
It preserves flavor, color, and nutrients better than traditional open boiling.
EasyReal offers single, double, or triple-effect models, with energy-saving configurations.
It reduces energy cost per liter and supports automatic Brix monitoring and steam control.
5. Tubular Sterilizer
This heat exchanger sterilizes juice at 95–105°C (customized)in a short time.
It has four concentric stainless-steel tubes: product flows inside, overheated water outside.
The short holding time avoids flavor loss while killing germs effectively.
It connects with the aseptic filler for a closed, sterile system.
It includes automatic temperature recording, fault alarms, and CIP integration.
This sterilizer is ideal for juice, concentrated pomegranate juice.
6. Aseptic Bag-in-Drum Filling Machine
This filling machine places sterile product into pre-sterilized aluminum foil bags inside drums.
It uses a steam sterilization head, load cell/flowmeter, and PLC-controlled filling valve.
The filling machine can realize CIP and SIP with sterilizer together.
It supports 1L to 220L bag sizes, or bigger size(1000L).
You can fill juice, concentrate, or paste with full aseptic sealing.
Compared to regular bag fillers, this system extends shelf life up to 12 months without refrigeration.
The EasyReal Pomegranate Processing Line handles a wide range of raw pomegranate types and final product formats. This flexibility helps producers adapt to seasonal supply, different customer needs, and evolving market demands.
You can process:
● Fresh pomegranates from the field
These go through the full crushing, aril separation, and juice extraction path.
This is the most common input for factories near farms or orchards.
● Cold-stored or pre-chilled pomegranates
Stored fruits go through washing and softening before crushing.
The system can adjust feed speed and crushing pressure to prevent seed breakage from hardened tissue.
● Frozen arils or pre-separated sacs
These skip the whole-fruit crushing step and enter directly at the pulper.
Ideal for regions importing arils or using IQF (individually quick frozen) raw material.
● Pressed juice or semi-finished product from upstream farms
You can bypass the initial steps and feed straight into enzymatic treatment or filtration.
This helps processors who serve as B2B refiners or secondary concentrators.
Final output products include:
1. Cloudy pomegranate juice (NFC)
Fresh-like juice with full body and aroma. Uses mild filtration.
Ideal for refrigerated distribution in bottles or pouches.
2. Clear pomegranate juice
Refined juice with high clarity and low turbidity. Requires enzyme + clarification steps.
Used for export or mixed juice applications.
3. Pomegranate juice concentrate (60–65°Brix)
Shelf-stable base for reconstitution, blending, or export.
Evaporated under vacuum to protect flavor and reduce volume.
5. Fermentation base
You can use filtered juice as a base for wine, vinegar, or kombucha.
The system prepares stable inputs for fermentation tanks.
With modular design and adjustable machine parameters, switching between these products is easy. You can change filters, adjust Brix settings, and select product paths using the touch screen. This gives you the power to serve multiple markets with one line.
