Production of Fruit Juices and Purees

The ProFruit 10-head isobaric filler with crown capper is a high-throughput solution for the industrial bottling of carbonated drinks whilst preserving carbonation. The CO₂ counter-pressure filling technology ensures gentle filling of cider, beer or kombucha without loss of carbonation or foaming. Simultaneous filling and capping of ten bottles per cycle delivers a throughput of up to 550 bottles per hour. A universal bottle holder for containers ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 litres and a robust stainless steel construction make the machine an excellent choice for medium-sized craft beverage producers.

The ProFruit semi-automatic jar filling and capping station combines precise volumetric dosing and reliable pneumatic capping with Twist-Off lids in a single compact unit. A flexible dosing range from 50 to 1,500 ml and the ability to connect directly to a boiler or tank make the machine ideal for hot-filling jams, purées, sauces and honey at temperatures up to 90°C. A mobile trolley on wheels with brakes allows the equipment to be moved easily around the workshop and facilitates sanitisation. A reliable solution for small and medium-sized producers of preserves and fruit products.

A 6-metre-long inclined conveyor for sterilising lids ensures the continuous and controlled movement of bottles through the lid treatment zone prior to capping, maintaining a high standard of hygiene on the bottling line. The gentle incline of the conveyor allows the feed rate of the containers to be synchronised with the throughput of the adjacent machines on the line — the filling and capping machines. The stainless steel construction complies with the hygiene requirements for food and beverage production. An essential component of automated bottling lines, enhancing the safety and quality of the finished product.

The ProFruit integrated solution combines the HEAT 500 diesel pasteuriser, the MINIFLOW semi-automatic filler and a buffer tank in a single mobile system — the ideal choice for compact and cost-effective production. With a capacity of 400–600 litres per hour, it ensures consistent pasteurisation of juice, purée, wine, stock or milk, whilst the MINIFLOW filling machine allows the product to be easily filled into Bag-in-Box packs (1–30 litres) or stand-up pouches (0.75–5 litres) — simply insert the pack and pull the lever. The energy-saving spiral design saves 15–20 per cent on fuel, whilst the mobility of the entire system makes it easy to move the equipment around the workshop.

DOUBLEFLOW by ProFruit is a fully automatic twin-head filling machine that doubles the filling output of juice, water or wine into Bag-in-Box and stand-up pouches compared to single-head models. The automatic start function allows the machine to operate continuously without manual intervention by the operator at each cycle, significantly increasing production efficiency. The vacuum and nitrogen injection options provide additional protection for the product against oxidation and extend its shelf life. A three-level safety system with a pressure sensor ensures stable and safe operation even at high production volumes.

MAXIFLOW by ProFruit is the highest-capacity automatic machine in the range for filling juice, water, wine and similar liquids into Bag-in-Box and stand-up pouches at a rate of up to 2,000 litres per hour. Automatic feeding of bags from a roll (bag-in-web) ensures a continuous operating cycle without manual intervention, and the entire process — from opening the lid to sealing — is carried out automatically by the machine. High dosing accuracy of ±0.3 per cent and IP65 protection guarantee consistent product quality even in damp production environments. The ideal solution for large-scale juice and beverage producers requiring maximum filling line throughput.

The ProFruit chamber pasteuriser for bottles, jars and tins, featuring gas heating, is designed for post-filling heat treatment of finished products — juices, jams, marmalades and sauces — in glass and metal containers. Gas heating (propane or natural gas) ensures cost-effective operation where a gas supply is available. Automatic control of temperature and processing time guarantees consistent results without the need for constant operator supervision, whilst the basket design allows dozens of bottles to be processed in a single cycle. A reliable solution for manufacturers of canned products seeking to extend the shelf life of their finished goods.

The ProFruit juice homogeniser ensures a perfectly uniform product consistency without separation or sedimentation of solid particles — which is crucial for high-quality juice and purées with a long shelf life. With a capacity of 1,000–3,000 litres per hour (depending on operating pressure), the equipment is suitable for medium and large-scale production facilities. Hydropneumatic pressure control ensures process stability, whilst a digital pressure sensor with a ceramic diaphragm and a flow alarm guarantee safe and precise operation. The homogeniser is installed prior to pasteurisation and significantly improves the organoleptic properties and marketable appearance of the finished juice or purée.

The ProFruit industrial citrus juicer, featuring an integrated feed conveyor, delivers a throughput of 450–950 litres per hour and processes up to 150 fruits per minute — a reliable solution for processors seeking the highest juice quality and efficiency. The machine adapts to different citrus fruit sizes (55–100 mm in diameter) and can be easily reconfigured for oranges, mandarins, grapefruits, limes, lemons and even pomegranates. The 40 kg hopper ensures a continuous supply of raw materials, whilst the variable-speed elevator optimises the transport of fruit to the pressing unit. The equipment integrates easily into the ProFruit lines for washing, pasteurisation and bottling, forming a complete citrus juice production cycle.
