1. Core Process: The Industrial Evolution of a Glass of Juice 

Most of the bottles of juice you buy in the supermarket rely on a completely standardized production process:

Washing → Sorting → Peeling → Crushing → Juice Extraction → Filtration → Sterilization → Filling

1. Washing & Preprocessing: The First Barrier to Stabilize Product Quality Bubble Washing Machine: Adopts high-pressure bubbles and spray washing to remove sediment and dirt without damaging the fruit flesh. Brush Peeling: Specially designed for root vegetables such as carrots and ginger. Combined with water spraying, it thoroughly removes the outer skin, reducing bitterness, astringency, and impurities in the subsequent juice.	2. Sorter & Peeler :  Core Pre-processing for vegetable and fruit Sorting: Sorting machinery is used to screen raw materials, remove rotten, damaged, immature or off-sized individual products, and ensure uniform quality of raw materials entering the next process. Peeling: Peeling machinery can quickly remove the outer skin of raw materials (such as fruit peels and vegetable rinds), reduce the impact of peels on the taste and color of fruit juice, and lower the impurity content at the same time.	3. Core Juicing Process: Screw Juicing vs Belt Press Juicing Screw Juicer (High Versatility)It adopts screw extrusion with a simple structure, ideal for apples, pears, ginger, vegetables, and more. Belt Press Juicer (High Juice Yield). It squeezes the filter belt through multi-stage pressure rollers, suitable for large-scale continuous production. Its juice yield is usually 10%-15% higher than that of screw juicers. Selection Suggestion: Choose the screw type for cost performance; choose the belt press type for higher returns and large-scale production.
4. Filtration & Sterilization Ultrafiltration / Centrifugation: Removes sediments and makes the juice clear and transparent. UHT Instant Sterilization: Heats the material above 120°C in an extremely short time to kill bacteria, while retaining the natural flavor and nutritional value of fruits and vegetables.	5. Filling & Finished Products: Automation Saves Labor Cost Filling Types: Whether it is glass bottles, PET bottles, or aseptic bags, the automatic filling line ensures consistent net content for every container and greatly reduces the risk of secondary manual pollution.

2. Full Process Breakdown of NFC Juicing Line: 4 End Product Solutions from Raw Fruit to Bottling

Production line configuration varies according to different product positioning, including NFC fruit puree, clear juice, cloudy juice and single-flavor fruit juice. Below is an in-depth process analysis based on industrial standards:

①Common Pre-Process (All Branches)

② NFC Juice Branches Process Flow

1. Branch 1: NFC Fruit Puree / NFC Cloudy Juice (Pulping & Centrifugation Process)

Process:

Raw Material Acceptance → Washing & Sorting → Crushing → Enzyme Inactivation & Softening → Pulping → Centrifugal Separation    ├─ Fruit Puree → Sterilization → Aseptic Filling → NFC Fruit Puree    └─ Cloudy Juice → Sterilization → Aseptic Filling → NFC Cloudy Juice

2. Branch 2: NFC Clear Juice (Enzymatic Clarification Process)

Process:

Raw Material Acceptance → Washing & Sorting → Crushing → Juice Extraction (Pressing) → Enzymatic Clarification → Ultrafiltration → Sterilization    ├─ Hot Filling → Cooling → NFC Clear Juice    └─ Cooling → Aseptic Filling → NFC Clear Juice

3. Branch 3: NFC Cloudy Juice (Centrifugation & Homogenization Process)

Raw Material Acceptance → Washing & Sorting → Crushing → Juice Extraction (Pressing) → Centrifugal Separation → Deaeration & Homogenization → Sterilization    ├─ Hot Filling → Cooling → NFC Cloudy Juice    └─ Cooling → Aseptic Filling → NFC Cloudy Juice

4. Branch 4: NFC Juice (Single-Fruit Pressing Process)

Raw Material Acceptance → Washing & Sorting → Single-Fruit Pressing → Refining (Polishing) → Centrifugal or Non-Centrifugal Treatment → Enzyme Inactivation & Sterilization    ├─ Hot Filling → Cooling → NFC Juice    └─ Cooling → Aseptic Filling → NFC Juice

3. Real Vegetable and Fruit Processing Cases

(Solutions vary according to budget, output, and types of fruits and vegetables. Please contact us for customized plans.) 

Pineapple Juice Process:

Pineapples Acceptance → Double Washing → Peeling → Manual Sorting & Selection → Cutting → Blanching → Juice Extraction (Pressing) → Deaeration & Homogenization → Sterilization → Hot Filling / Aseptic Filling

Ginger Juice Process:

Wheatgrass/Leaf Juice Process:

From equipment selection and production line construction to later operation and maintenance, we offer full-process support, helping you efficiently launch a juice processing solution that perfectly matches your needs.

5.  Common Questions Received from Our Clients

Q1: What is the difference between NFC cloudy juice and clear juice? Where are the production procedures different?

A1: Differences.

Process Differences

• Apple: Juice yield about 70%–85% (high juice content)

• Pineapple: Juice yield about 65%–80% (thick skin, peeling required in traditional processing; double-screw press can directly extract juice without peeling)

• Mango: Juice yield about 50%–65% (rich pulp and high fiber content)

• Ginger: Juice yield about 45%–60% (coarse fiber and difficult to press)
