Screw Press for Orange Juice Processing
Screw Press for Orange Juice Processing
Introduction
Orange juice remains one of the most popular beverages worldwide, valued for its refreshing taste and high vitamin C content. Producing high-quality orange juice demands efficient, reliable, and hygienic equipment to extract juice while preserving its natural flavor and nutritional benefits. At Lyure, we specialize in manufacturing state-of-the-art screw presses designed specifically for orange juice processing. Our screw presses offer an optimal solution for producers seeking to maximize yield, maintain quality, and streamline operations.
Why Choose a Screw Press for Orange Juice?
Oranges, with their juicy pulp and thick peels, require careful processing to achieve high juice yields without compromising quality. Screw presses are ideal for orange juice production due to their ability to gently extract juice while separating peel and pulp effectively. The key advantages of using Lyure’s screw presses include:
High Juice Yield: Our screw presses extract up to 80-90% of the juice from oranges, minimizing waste and boosting profitability.
Superior Juice Quality: The low-speed pressing process reduces oxidation and heat generation, preserving the fresh taste, vibrant color, and nutritional value of orange juice.
Efficient Peel Separation: The press effectively separates the peel and pulp, producing clear juice with minimal bitterness.
Hygienic and Durable Design: Made from food-grade stainless steel, our machines are easy to clean and resistant to corrosion, ensuring compliance with food safety regulations.
How Lyure’s Screw Press Works
Lyure’s screw presses are engineered for efficiency, durability, and ease of use, making orange juice processing seamless and productive. The process involves the following steps:
Preparation and Feeding: Whole or halved oranges are fed into the hopper. Optional pre-crushing breaks the peel to facilitate juice extraction.
Juice Extraction: The screw mechanism applies controlled pressure to the oranges, squeezing the juice through a fine mesh screen while separating the peel, pulp, and seeds. Adjustable pressure settings allow operators to optimize extraction for different orange varieties or juice clarity levels.
Collection and Processing: The extracted juice is collected in a stainless steel tank, ready for filtration, pasteurization, or bottling. The dry pomace is discharged separately for disposal or repurposing.
Our screw presses feature intuitive controls, enabling operators to adjust settings based on fruit size, ripeness, or production goals.
