Grape Beverage Production Line

What are the main pieces of equipment needed for a grape beverage production line?

The main steps in making grape beverages are

1. Choosing the Raw Materials

Strict selection is the key to making good grape juice. Pick grapes that are fresh, juicy, and brightly coloured, and that don't have any rot or pesticide residue on them. Before processing, get rid of the stems by hand or with a machine. This will keep the stems from giving the food a bad taste. Then, use a bubble washer to wash the food well to get rid of dirt and other impurities.

2. Getting ready and processing  

You should wash the grapes well, then crush them to get the juice and separate the seeds. After crushing, separate the skins and pulp. Then, use a colloid mill to grind the pulp twice to make sure it is fine and smooth. This is important for keeping the grape juice high quality.  To make the drink, mix equal amounts of pure water and flavouring agents. Then, slowly add them to the grape juice while stirring constantly for about 15 minutes. This will make sure the drink is even and has a balanced, refreshing taste.

3.Homogenization and sterilization

Homogenize the prepared grape pulp to ensure a delicate and uniform consistency. Then, based on the shelf life requirements of the fresh grape juice, sterilize using Pasteurization or UHT sterilization. Pasteurization heats the juice to 85-95 degrees Celsius, holding for 20 minutes to kill microorganisms.UHT sterilization heats to 120-130 degrees Celsius for 2-5 seconds..Intop can change the time and temperature to meet the customer's production needs.

4. Cooling and Filling

Use a cooling heat exchanger or system to quickly cool the sterilised product to room temperature or the temperature it should be stored at. A fully automatic aseptic filling line is used to fill grape juice after it has cooled. Aseptic bags, glass bottles, and PET bottles are all common ways to package grape juice. Automatic bottle blowing, filling, labelling or sleeving, coding, and film coating can also be done while the grape juice is being filled.
