Fruit & Vegetable Processing Line: Washing, Pulping and Jam
A fruit and vegetable processing line for pulp, puree, jam and juice: washing, sorting, peeling, pulping, extraction, cooking and filling, configured to the fruit you run.
By the process engineering team at Supreme Beast Intelligent Machinery (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
Key takeaways
- The fruit sets the front of the line — mango peeling and destoning, apple pressing, citrus extraction — while cooking and filling are shared.
- Washing is not optional: a brush washer ahead of the pulper protects the product and the machines behind it.
- Every capacity figure below is the listed figure from the linked product page; anything not listed there is confirmed against your recipe and site.
How does the line work?
Fruit or vegetables arrive, are washed and sorted, then prepared for the product — peeled, destoned, pulped or pressed. The pulp or juice is cooked or blended, then filled. The steps below follow a pulp and jam line; juice branches off at extraction.
- Washing and sorting: a roller brush washer cleans the fruit, and sorting removes unripe or damaged pieces before processing.
- Peeling and preparation: mango is peeled and destoned, other fruit is trimmed or cut, so only clean flesh reaches the pulper.
- Pulping or extraction: the pulping and juice extractor turns prepared fruit into pulp or juice, and a belt squeezer presses apple, pineapple and similar fruit.
- Cooking and blending: pulp is cooked with sugar and other ingredients for jam and puree, or blended for juice and nectar.
- Filling: hot or cold filling into jars, pouches or drums, matched to the product and pack format.

How is capacity confirmed?
Capacity is confirmed against your recipe and site. The apple puree and jam line is listed at 5–50 T/H, the mango peeling, destoning and pulping machine at 2–20 T/H and the orange juice extractor at 3–10 T/H. Pulp and juice yield depends on the fruit and its ripeness, so we confirm the line against your fruit and the finished tonnage you need per shift.
Frequently asked questions
Can one line run mango in one season and apple in the next?
The washing, cooking and filling stages are shared. Mango needs its peeling and destoning machine and apple needs its press, so a two-fruit plant is quoted with both front ends and one shared back end.
What is the difference between pulping and pressing?
Pulping turns whole soft fruit into pulp for puree, jam and nectar. Pressing squeezes juice out of the fruit and leaves the pomace behind. The fruit and the product decide which one the line uses.
Can the line also make dried fruit?
Dried fruit is a different finishing step. Our freeze-dried food line covers freeze-dried fruit; tell us the product and we quote the line that finishes it.
What is the lead time and warranty?
Lead time is about 3 months from order, FOB Shanghai port, with a 12-month warranty. Our engineers commission the line on site and train your operators.
