JUICE INDUSTRY PROCESS: Blending and keeping homogeneous during storage and transport TYPE OF PRODUCT: Juices from concentrate FCJ - regular fruit juices NFC APPLICATION: Keeping homogeneous in aseptic storage tanks Dilution of the base product FCJ by adding water We offer maximum reliability, high durability and stirring efficiency Process description Fruit juices consist for a large part of water which can be evaporated. The resulting thick concentrate is transported all over the world and is finally diluted at juice production facilities. It’s easy to see that this method saves huge amounts of money: transporting mere water is costly. On the downside components such as etheric oils must be added when the concentrate is diluted by mixing in water. If the juice, NFC, is transported as is, all components are still present in the product and it can be packed/bottled right away. Fruit juice concentrate is diluted with water to create regular fruit juice, FCJ. The process is, from a mixing technique point of view, comparable to that of paint production. The concentrate must be “cut open” in order to mix it with water. The diluted/fresh juice has a low viscosity and is therefore in the turbulent phase during mixing which allows for fast mixing because the liquid flow is mixed quickly and chaotically. A side or top entry mixer is used which completes the process of homogenizing the juices fast, ready for filling/packaging. Mayor players in the industry such as Döhler/Citrosuco/Zuvamesa/Continental Juice/Hiwa/ Wild/Cargill/ FrieslandCampina to name a few, use JONGIA equipment in their production facilities. Installations are up and running world-wide from as far back as the earl

JUICE INDUSTRY Product information Requirements for the mixing equipment to be used depend on specific characteristics such as viscosity and density which vary considerably from one fruit juice to the other. Think for example of the differences between orange and pineapple or banana juice. To keep the product homogeneous our Magitator, a magnet driven mixer, is the right choice. During the process it is very important to avoid oxygen intake because it breaks down vitamin C, clearly this must be prevented at all times. The Magitator ensures that the storage tank remains hermetically closed...
