Apple Juice Concentrate Processing Line | Multi-Effect Evaporation & Aroma Recovery System

This advanced apple juice concentrate processing line is designed to produce high-Brix apple juice concentrate (AJC, typically 70° Brix) with optimal energy efficiency and superior flavor retention. The line integrates our proprietary multi-effect falling film evaporator, which reduces energy consumption by up to 50% compared to single-effect systems. The most critical component is the integrated aroma recovery unit, which captures the volatile flavor compounds (esters, aldehydes) stripped during evaporation. These captured “top notes” can be added back to the concentrate or sold separately as natural apple flavoring, significantly enhancing the value of the final product. The concentration process is carried out under vacuum and low temperature to prevent caramelization and heat damage. The final concentrate is chilled and can be stored in aseptic tanks or filled into drums/bags. This line is a cornerstone investment for producers targeting the global bulk concentrate market, beverage manufacturers, and food ingredient companies, offering a product that meets the stringent quality standards of international buyers.
