Over 10,000+ customers' choice, Focus on screening industry 40+ years
In fruit and vegetable beverage production, filtration and screening are the critical steps that determine product clarity, mouthfeel and quality. Whether it is apple juice, orange juice, pomegranate juice, or blended fruit and vegetable juices such as tomato juice and carrot juice, the raw juice straight from the press contains a large amount of solid impurities – pulp fibres, peel fragments, seed pieces, coarse fibre, and small amounts of trace foreign matter that may be introduced during processing. If these impurities are not removed, the direct consequences are turbidity, rough mouthfeel and shortened shelf life.
Juice filtration is typically divided into two stages: coarse filtration and fine filtration. Coarse filtration uses a relatively coarse screen (e.g., 20-40 mesh) to remove large particles such as peel fragments, membrane, coarse pulp and seeds. Fine filtration uses finer screens (e.g., 80 mesh, 120 mesh or even 200 mesh) to further remove fine suspended solids and fibre residues. For pulp‑containing beverages such as orange juice with pulp, the pulp particles themselves must also undergo strict screening to ensure consistent juice content within the pulp.
However, in actual production, fruit and vegetable juice filtration faces three core challenges:
First, screen blinding reduces production efficiency. Fruit puree contains large amounts of fibre and pectin, which easily blind the screen, causing frequent stoppages for cleaning and seriously affecting continuous production line operation.
Second, filtration accuracy is difficult to control. It is necessary to effectively remove pulp fibres and impurities while retaining the nutritional components of the juice, avoiding over‑filtration that would cause flavour loss and raw material waste.
Third, stringent hygiene standards. As juice is a beverage consumed directly, the equipment must have no hygiene dead corners, be easy to clean, comply with food production GMP standards, and eliminate the risk of microbial contamination.
Facing these three challenges, Gaofu Machinery – with over 40 years of深耕 in the screening field – has developed a dedicated juice filtration and screening solution that provides a systematic approach for fruit and vegetable beverage producers.
Food‑Grade Materials – Upholding Safety Standards
As fruit and vegetable juice is a beverage consumed directly, the safety of equipment materials is the first line of defence. The Gaofu juice filtration sieve is constructed primarily from 304/316L food‑grade stainless steel , with both internal and external surfaces finely polished, no hygiene dead corners, and easy to clean and sanitise. 304 stainless steel is corrosion‑resistant and non‑rusting – even after prolonged contact with juice, syrup and other materials with certain acidity or alkalinity, it maintains stable chemical inertness and does not leach harmful substances. The fully enclosed screening design effectively prevents secondary contamination of the material, fully complying with food GMP standards and HACCP system requirements.
Anti‑Blinding Design – Solving the High‑Fibre Blinding Problem
Fruit and vegetable juice purees contain large amounts of fibre and pectin, and the high‑viscosity material easily blinds the mesh openings. The Gaofu juice filtration sieve incorporates a proprietary anti‑blinding design – equipped with a food‑grade silicone bouncing ball cleaning system that continuously taps the underside of the screen during operation, dislodging fibre and pectin particles blocking the mesh openings. For ultra‑fine filtration or high‑viscosity materials, an optional ultrasonic high‑frequency mesh vibration technology can be added, providing online continuous screen cleaning to effectively prevent adhesion and blinding. The anti‑blinding design ensures the screen remains clear for extended periods, allowing the equipment to run continuously and stably.
High Throughput – Matching Large‑Scale Production Rhythms
Fruit and vegetable juice processing is typically continuous flow production, placing rigid demands on the processing capacity of filtration equipment. The Gaofu juice filtration sieve features large‑capacity inlet and outlet ports, with processing capacity of 5‑20 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 equipment has a compact footprint, taking up little floor space, and is suitable for fruit and vegetable juice processing workshops of all scales.
Quick Screen Changes – Adapting to Flexible Multi‑Product Changeovers
Different fruit and vegetable juice products require different filtration accuracy – apple juice needs higher clarity, orange juice needs to retain some pulp, and orange juice with pulp requires precise control of pulp particle size. The Gaofu filtration sieve uses a mother‑child screen frame structure , allowing screen changes in just 3 to 5 minutes . Switching between different mesh sizes is convenient and efficient, greatly reducing downtime for product changeovers.
Protecting Downstream Equipment – Extending Production Line Life
By effectively removing fruit stalks, seed fragments, fibre and other impurities through filtration, not only is finished product quality improved, but downstream equipment such as filling machines and sterilisation units are also protected from wear caused by impurities – extending the service life of the entire production line and reducing overall operating and maintenance costs.
The Gaofu juice filtration and screening equipment is suitable not only for various fruit juices and purees but also for a wide range of liquid food applications:
Clear fruit and vegetable juices: apple juice, grape juice, pomegranate juice, etc. – removing pulp fibres, pectin and fine suspended solids to ensure clarity and brightness
Cloudy fruit and vegetable juices: orange juice, mango juice, tomato juice, carrot juice, etc. – precisely controlling pulp particle size and proportion
Fruit purees and jams: strawberry puree, mango puree, peach puree, etc. – fibre separation, removing peel fragments and hard particles
Beverage industry: tea beverages, plant‑based protein beverages, functional beverages – filtration and impurity removal
Wine and brewing: grape juice filtration before wine and fruit wine fermentation
From the perspective of actual production conditions in fruit and vegetable juice processing, the Gaofu juice filtration sieve delivers practical value in four dimensions:
Quality value – Pulp fibres, peel fragments, seed pieces and other impurities are effectively intercepted, resulting in juice with high purity and fine mouthfeel. Clear juices are bright and transparent, cloudy juices have uniform pulp distribution, and product quality is stable and consistent.
Efficiency value – The anti‑blinding design allows the equipment to run continuously for extended periods without frequent stoppages for cleaning. Processing capacity reaches 5‑20 tonnes per hour, and the overall capacity of the production line is fully utilised.
Hygiene value – Food‑grade 304/316L stainless steel and the dead‑corner‑free design make the equipment easy to clean with no material residue; the fully enclosed structure effectively prevents secondary contamination.
Protection value – By effectively removing fruit stalks, seed fragments, fibre and other impurities through filtration, downstream equipment such as filling machines and sterilisation units are protected from wear caused by impurities, extending the service life of the entire production line.
