FAQ
Questions about the blueberry line
How are blueberries washed and sorted without damage?
Blueberry skin is thin and delicate, so the line uses gentle washing and conveying: a vortex or ultrasonic washer (28–40 kHz, with air bubbles) and an optical sorter with RGB/CCD cameras and pneumatic rejection that removes defective fruit.
How is NFC blueberry juice made?
NFC means not-from-concentrate juice. The fruit is crushed, pressed on a continuous low-pressure belt press, clarified with a plate filter or ultrafiltration, homogenised at 20–40 MPa, then pasteurised at 85–95 °C or UHT-treated at 110–137 °C before hot or aseptic filling.
What other products can the line make?
Besides NFC juice: puree for drinks and desserts, jam, freeze-dried blueberries and blueberry powder, freeze-dried or spray-dried. With jacketed, temperature-controlled fermentation tanks the line also makes blueberry wine and vinegar.
What capacity can I choose?
The blueberry line is configured at 1, 3 or 5 t/h, depending on your raw material and production plan. Because the lines are modular, much of the equipment — washing, pulping, heat treatment and packaging — can also run other fruits, so the plant keeps working all year.
How long is delivery, and what is included?
Delivery takes 30–60 days after order confirmation, priced FOB China or CIF your port, with payment by T/T or L/C. The line ships with an initial spare-parts kit, installation is remote or with an engineer at your plant, and the warranty runs 12 months from commissioning.
