Sea Buckthorn Processing Line
The EasyReal Sea Buckthorn Processing Line handles every stage from fresh fruit intake to finished product packaging. The system processes whole sea buckthorn berries—fresh, frozen, or pre-cleaned—through a series of hygienic, food-grade steps to yield premium products with minimum nutrient loss.
We integrate multiple product flows:
● Clear juice from belt-pressed and enzymatically clarified raw juice.
● Pulp juice with high fiber and natural pectin.
● Cold-pressed or centrifuged seed oil extracted from separated seeds.
● Puree for use in jams, functional foods, and yogurt bases.
● Concentrate via falling-film or multi-effect evaporators.
● Powder with spray drying or freeze drying (optional modules).
Every line is modular. Customers can expand from juice to oil or from puree to powder. Our stainless-steel machines ensure food safety, while gentle heat treatment protects sea buckthorn’s sensitive nutrients. You get consistent output, easy CIP cleaning, and traceable digital control.
Sea buckthorn is known for its immune-boosting nutrients, antioxidant-rich pulp, and high-value seed oil. EasyReal’s line supports manufacturers across multiple industries:
● Juice brands producing bottled clear or pulp juice.
● Health supplement companies extracting seed or pulp oil for capsules.
● Baby food using puree as a functional base.
● Export processors making sea buckthorn concentrate or powder for long-haul shipping.
● Cosmetics producers using pure oil in skin care formulations.
Our systems are working in:
● European organic berry farms (1–2 t/h lines).
● Central Asian juice factories (5 t/h lines).
● Chinese supplement labs (with cold oil extraction).
● Nordic fruit-powder exporters (with freeze drying).
No matter your end product, we build your line for stable flow, hygienic compliance, and minimal waste. Whether you're in food, health, or cosmetic sectors, EasyReal adapts your equipment to your goals.
Choosing the right sea buckthorn processing line depends on your product focus, daily throughput, and packaging style. EasyReal offers multiple configuration paths:
By Output Volume:
● <500 kg/h: Ideal for R&D centers or premium boutique oil extraction.
● 1–2 t/h: Mid-size factories with multi-product output (juice + oil).
● 3–5 t/h: Industrial juice or puree factories with full automation.
By Product Type:
● Juice line: Includes belt press, enzymatic clarifier, UHT, filling.
● Oil line: Adds seed separator, cold press/centrifuge, filtration.
● Puree line: Uses pulper, finisher, deaerator, pasteurizer.
● Concentrate line: Adds vacuum evaporator, aroma recovery.
● Powder line: Adds spray dryer or freeze dryer module.
By Packaging Needs:
● Aseptic bag-in-drum (for concentrate/puree)
● Glass/PET bottles (for juice)
● Small sachets (for oil or powder)

Raw Material → Cleaning → Destoning / Crushing → Juice & Pulp Separation → Oil Extraction → Clarification / Pasteurization → Concentration (optional) → Filling or Drying
Here’s a breakdown:
1.Receiving & Washing: Vibrating screen + bubble washer removes dirt and leaves.
2.Pulping and Refining: Break the seabuckthorn fruits to separate usable components such as pulp and juice, remove impurities, and lay a foundation for subsequent processing. The refined processing step after pulping aims to optimize the texture, taste and stability of seabuckthorn pulp and improve product quality.
3.Oil Separation: Seeds are dried, pressed or centrifuged for cold-pressed oil.
4.Clarification: Juice clarified by decanter/disc separator or enzyme tanks.
5.Pasteurization: Tube-in-tube or plate sterilizer heats juice/puree at 85–95°C.
6.Concentration: Falling-film evaporator removes water (for concentrate).
7.Filling: Aseptic filler, hot filler, or bottle filler depending on product.
8.Drying (optional): Spray dryer or freeze dryer produces powder.
Every step is tightly linked. Our automation ensures fast transitions and clean outputs.
① Sea Buckthorn Bubble Washer
This washer uses air and water turbulence to gently clean the fruit. It lifts dust, leaves, and light soil without damaging delicate berries.
The washer includes:
● Stainless steel tank with air-blowing pipes.
● Overflow and sediment discharge zones.
● Conveyor lift to the next stage.
It protects the thin skin of sea buckthorn and ensures safe entry to downstream processes. Compared to brushing washers, it handles fragile berries better and reduces fruit loss.
② Sea Buckthorn Pulping and Refining Machine
Efficient Crushing: Equipped with sharp and wear-resistant crushing components (such as blades and toothed discs), they quickly crush the thin skin and flesh of sea buckthorn berries while preventing excessive seed crushing that could lead to oil spillage and contamination of the pulp.
Precise Separation: A built-in grading screen (with mesh size tailored to the size of the sea buckthorn berries, typically 0.5-2mm) effectively separates the pulp and juice from the stems, impurities, and intact seeds, thereby improving raw material utilization.
Easy-Clean Structure: The machine's smooth interior and removable components (such as the screen and blades) facilitate cleaning, complying with food processing hygiene standards and preventing residual pulp from deteriorating and contaminating the next batch of raw materials.
Adjustable Parameter Settings: Grinding gap, speed, or pressure can be adjusted to meet product requirements (such as juice clarity or puree consistency) for flexible control of pulp particle size.
Hygiene and Safety: Components in contact with the product are made of food-grade stainless steel (such as 304 or 316), which is heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and features a strong seal to prevent external contamination.
③ Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil Centrifuge
The centrifuge separates oil from seeds by spinning at high speed.
It features:
● Stainless steel drum and solid-liquid discharge system.
● Smart balance for stable running.
● Oil collection tank with filtration unit.
It avoids the heat damage common in expeller presses and suits both pulp oil and seed oil recovery.
④ Sea Buckthorn Vacuum Evaporator
This evaporator removes water at low temperatures, protecting flavor and vitamin C.
The falling-film design allows:
● Fast heat exchange with low residence time.
● Energy savings via multi-effect setup.
● Aroma recovery to preserve taste.
Compared to open boiling, it retains more nutrients and cuts operating costs by 30–40%.
⑤ Sea Buckthorn Aseptic Filling Machine
This filler packs juice or puree into sterile bags or bottles without recontamination.
Features include:
● CIP/SIP self-cleaning and sterilization.
● High-accuracy filling with weight sensors.
● Compatible with 5–220L bags or bottle conveyors.
It ensures food safety and long shelf life, suitable for export-grade products.
The EasyReal Sea Buckthorn Processing Line works with:
● Fresh berries
● IQF frozen berries
● Fermented or pre-pulped fruit
You can switch between:
● Clear juice and pulp juice.
● Cold-pressed oil and centrifugal oil.
● Single-strength puree and thick concentrate.
● Liquid products and powders.
Each line allows dual outputs: juice + oil, or puree + concentrate. You can also skip or add modules (e.g., oil extractor, evaporator, dryer) based on changing demand.
We make it easy to expand your capacity or shift product formats. Every module connects by CIP-ready pipelines and is controlled from a central HMI screen. No need for large rework when upgrading.
EasyReal equips every sea buckthorn processing line with a centralized PLC + HMI smart control system. This ensures smooth production, real-time monitoring, and precise control at every stage—from raw berry intake to aseptic filling.
Our system includes:
● Touchscreen HMI: Operators can adjust temperatures, flow rates, and timing on an intuitive interface. They can see alarms, production logs, and equipment status in real time.
● PLC Automation: All core equipment—presses, centrifuges, sterilizers, fillers—communicate through a Siemens or Omron PLC. It coordinates motor speeds, valve operations, and safety interlocks.
● Recipe Management: Operators can switch product types (e.g., juice → concentrate → puree) by loading pre-set parameters. This reduces changeover time and human error.
● Data Logging: The system records temperatures, pressure levels, flow data, and batch counts.
● Remote Support: Our engineers can access your system online to diagnose issues or help optimize performance.
Compared to manual or semi-auto setups, our smart system:
● Cuts startup time and improves shift handover.
● Reduces mistakes in sterilization or filling temperature.
● Prevents wasted product due to timing errors.
● Improves compliance with export and food safety audits.
Whether you're running a single product line or a multi-shift factory, this control system makes your operations more consistent, safer, and easier to manage.
