Over 10,000+ customers' choice, Focus on screening industry 40+ years
In the production of fruit juices, purees and jams, filtration and screening are the critical steps that determine product clarity, mouthfeel and quality. If pulp fibres, peel fragments and fine impurities are not effectively removed, they will not only affect the appearance and taste of the finished product but may also cause sedimentation, turbidity and other quality issues.
However, with the wide variety of screening equipment available on the market, selecting the right fruit juice rotary vibrating sieve for your production line is a practical challenge faced by many beverage manufacturers. Incorrect selection can lead to insufficient filtration accuracy affecting product quality, overcapacity wasting investment, or non‑compliant materials failing food safety audits.
Selection is not about "picking a machine" – it is about "matching the most suitable solution to your material and production line."
Dimension 1: Define Material Characteristics
There are many types of fruit juice with significantly different material characteristics, which directly affect the choice of screen mesh size and equipment configuration.
Clear juices (apple, grape, pomegranate): require the removal of pulp fibres, pectin and fine suspended solids, demanding high filtration accuracy – typically requiring 100 mesh or finer screening.
Cloudy juices (orange, mango, tomato): retain some pulp and require precise control of pulp particle size and proportion – removing coarse fibres and hard particles while maintaining the right mouthfeel.
Fruit purees and jams (strawberry, mango, peach): high fibre content and high viscosity, placing greater demands on the equipment's anti‑blinding capability.
Blended fruit and vegetable juices: different raw materials mixed together may require multi‑deck screens to complete staged filtration in a single pass.
Before selection, it is recommended to conduct a preliminary assessment of the material's fibre content, viscosity and impurity type to determine the approximate range of screen mesh size.
Dimension 2: Confirm Filtration Accuracy and Screen Mesh Size
Screen mesh size is the most critical parameter in juice filtration selection. The higher the mesh number, the finer the apertures and the higher the filtration accuracy – but throughput decreases accordingly.
Coarse filtration ( 20‑60 mesh ): used to remove large particles such as peel fragments, seeds and coarse fibre. Suitable for the preliminary filtration stage of juice processing.
Medium filtration ( 60‑100 mesh ): used for fine filtration of conventional juices to remove fine fibres and suspended solids. Suitable for most juice products.
Fine filtration ( 100‑200 mesh ): used for fine filtration of premium or clear juices to achieve higher clarity and stability.
The Gaofu S49 series rotary vibrating sieve can achieve screening fineness up to 600 mesh (0.02 mm) and filtration precision down to 5 microns. From 20‑mesh coarse filtration to fine filtration above 200 mesh, a single machine with multiple screens covers the full range of requirements.
Selection recommendation: Conventional juice filtration can use 80‑120 mesh screens; premium clear juices can use 150 mesh or finer; fruit purees can be pre‑filtered with 40‑60 mesh to remove large particles, then fine‑filtered with 80‑120 mesh to improve quality.
Dimension 3: Determine Throughput and Equipment Model
Juice processing is typically continuous flow production, and throughput is an important reference indicator for selection.
The Gaofu fruit juice rotary vibrating sieve features large‑capacity inlet and outlet ports, with single‑unit capacity of 5 to 20 tonnes per hour. Multiple units can be connected in series or in parallel according to capacity requirements, directly integrated into the production line for continuous operation.
The S49 series rotary vibrating sieve is available in models from φ400 mm to φ2000 mm , with effective screen areas ranging from 0.09 m² to 2.79 m². Throughput capacity covers 400‑1200 kg/hour up to 120 m³/hour.
Selection recommendation: Small to medium‑sized lines can use φ800‑1000 mm models; large‑scale lines are recommended to use φ1200 mm or larger to ensure the filtration step does not become a capacity bottleneck.
Dimension 4: Materials and Hygiene Standards
Juice is consumed directly, so the material selection of the equipment is directly related to food safety.
All parts that come into contact with juice must be made of food‑grade materials (304 or 316L stainless steel), with polished surfaces and no hygiene dead corners.
All material‑contact parts of the Gaofu fruit juice rotary vibrating sieve are made of 304/316L food‑grade stainless steel , with finely polished internal and external surfaces, no hygiene dead corners, and easy to clean and sanitise. The equipment features a fully enclosed screening design , effectively preventing secondary contamination of the material and fully complying with food GMP standards and HACCP system requirements.
Selection recommendation: 304 stainless steel is sufficient for conventional juice filtration. For highly acidic juices (such as lemon juice, tomato juice) or lines requiring high‑temperature cleaning, 316L stainless steel with better corrosion resistance is recommended.
Dimension 5: Anti‑Blinding and Screen Cleaning Design
Fruit juice and pulp contain large amounts of fibre and pectin, which can easily blind the screen. Anti‑blinding capability is an essential dimension in fruit juice rotary vibrating sieve selection.
The Gaofu fruit juice rotary vibrating sieve incorporates anti‑blinding design with efficient cleaning devices to address the high‑viscosity and high‑fibre characteristics, ensuring the screen remains clear for extended periods. Food‑grade silicone balls placed under the screen deck continuously tap the underside of the screen, dislodging fibre and pectin particles blocking the mesh openings – continuous, automatic, and requiring no manual intervention.
For ultra‑fine filtration or high‑viscosity materials, an optional ultrasonic cleaning system can be added, using high‑frequency vibration to further break the adhesion between the material and the screen.
Selection recommendation: Standard bouncing ball cleaning is sufficient for conventional juice filtration; for high‑fibre, high‑viscosity purees or ultra‑fine filtration, an ultrasonic system is recommended.
Step 1: Define material and process requirements. Confirm the type of juice (clear/cloudy/puree), target filtration accuracy (mesh size), and single‑shift throughput (tonnes/hour).
Step 2: Match screen mesh size and number of decks. Determine the combination of coarse and fine mesh sizes based on material characteristics. A single deck is suitable for simple filtration and impurity removal; dual or multi‑deck configurations achieve coarse and fine filtration in a single pass, meeting the differentiated filtration needs of various juice products.
Step 3: Select equipment model and material. Choose the appropriate specification (φ600‑φ2000 mm) based on throughput, and select 304 or 316L stainless steel based on hygiene requirements.
Step 4: Confirm anti‑blinding and supporting solutions. Determine whether an ultrasonic cleaning system is needed based on material viscosity, and confirm the discharge port orientation (adjustable 360°) according to production line layout.
