Product catalog summary
Overview of JBT Apple Processing Lines
JBT's apple processing system is designed to efficiently peel, core, and slice apples at a rate of 400 per minute. This system is particularly beneficial for the Apple Solid Pack industry, providing quality products at controlled costs through the use of the JBT C8-A unit and the Apple Deaerating System.
Key Features and Benefits
  • Peeling, Coring, and Slicing: The JBT C8-A unit maximizes yield by removing only the apple skin using a combination of caustic and steam peeling, which is more efficient than mechanical peeling.
  • Deaerating System: This system removes air from apple slices, inactivates enzymes, and saturates them with brine, preparing them for canning and pasteurization.
  • Rotary Cooker/Cooler System: Utilizes induced convection to increase heat penetration, ensuring even cooking and preserving the product's natural flavor and nutritional value.
Processing Steps
  1. Receiving and Dumping: Apples are unloaded, washed, and prepared for processing.
  2. Inspection and Sizing: Apples are inspected and sized to ensure only suitable fruits are processed.
  3. Peeling, Coring, and Slicing: Apples are chemically treated and steam-peeled, then cored and sliced.
  4. Deaerating: Slices undergo air removal, precooking, and brine saturation.
  5. Product Filling: Slices are filled into cans, followed by syruping and closing.
  6. Pasteurization and Cooling: Cans are pasteurized and cooled in a continuous rotary cooker.
  7. Compote Preparation (Optional): Apple slices are vacuum-cooked with sugar and water, optionally mixed with other fruit pulps.
  8. Jar Filling and Closing: Compote is filled into jars, which are then closed under steam vacuum.
  9. Jar Pasteurization and Cooling: Jars undergo gradual heating and cooling to avoid thermal shock.
  10. Packaging and Warehousing: Finished products are labeled, packed, and stored or shipped.
  11. Aseptic Processing and Filling: The READYGo™ Aseptic Monoblock is used for aseptic filling of various fruit products.

JBT Apple Processing Lines Better processing: increased heat penetration/reduced cooking time By using the induced convection method, the JBT Rotary Cooker/Cooler System increases the rate of heat penetration. This ensures the even cooking of every can thus reducing cooking time. Rapid heat penetration and reduced cooking time preserve the natural flavour, nutritional value and appearance of the product. The product is never still in the can, eliminating burning and caramelization. The JBT's sterilizer uses an operating principle which agitates the can, permitting short time, high temperature...

JBT Apple Processing Lines Upon receipt at the cannery the bins are unloaded by fork trucks and stacked in holding areas. Bin Dumpers empty the bins into a water-filled tank which cushions the fall of the product. An appropriate elevator removes the apples from the water while fresh water sprays wash them before discharge. Apple slices are flumed onto a vibrating screen, where slivers are removed. Then they are elevated to a distribution belt and introduced to the Deaerating Plant. The JBT Deaerating Plant consists of specially shaped kettles, in which the product to be canned undergoes a cycle...

JBT Apple Processing Lines 9. Compote preparation An option of the JBT system is apple compote preparation. Apple slices are taken from the flume conveyor, which feeds them into vacuum cooking kettles. Here the slices are mixed with a water and sugar solution (prepared in a separate plant), and vacuum-cooked until the product reaches the desired parameters. During this process, it is also possible to mix the apple slices with apricot or peach pulp, resulting in a fruitier taste and a more colorful appearance. The final product is introduced into a special jacketed holding tank, then delivered...
