Application:
The belt press juice beverage production line has a wide range of applications. It can be used for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables such as pears, apples, lemons, oranges, citrus fruits, papayas, radishes, and ginger. It is also suitable for dehydration processing of pickled vegetables and preserved vegetable products.
Product Specifications:
Capacity range: 3–20 T/H
Customized solutions are available according to different production capacities.
Working Principle:
After crushing, the fruit pulp, juice, peel, and desalted pickled vegetables are evenly distributed onto the filter belt through the feeding device. The materials are then pressed by the belt system to extract juice or remove moisture.
During operation, the refined raw materials (solid-liquid mixture) are continuously pumped into the feeding hopper by a screw pump. The material distribution width can be adjusted according to production requirements. The distribution rollers spread the materials evenly onto the filter belt.
In the downward wedge-shaped zone, a large amount of liquid is gradually removed, forming a filter cake suitable for pressing. In the pressing zone, the pressure rollers equipped with L-shaped pressing bars squeeze out moisture while ensuring rapid drainage from both sides.
The diameter of subsequent pressure rollers gradually decreases, creating an S-shaped filter belt path and generating progressive surface pressure and shear force to improve dehydration performance. Additional pressure rollers provide both linear and circumferential pressure for further moisture removal.
After dehydration, the filter cake is removed by a wear-resistant scraper. Both filter belts are continuously cleaned by high-pressure spray nozzles to maintain excellent juice extraction performance. The cleaning water is automatically filtered through a curved filter screen, with residue discharge and recycling performed by a return pump, reducing water consumption and improving energy efficiency.
The filter belt is made of nylon woven mesh, featuring acid and alkali resistance, food-grade safety, excellent juice permeability, low water absorption, and high strength.

In recent years, fruit coffee beverages have gained increasing popularity in the market. From creative drinks combining coffee and fruit juice to bottled and canned fruit coffee products, more and more brands are entering this emerging market. However, many companies discover a common challenge when moving into actual production: laboratory formulas are easy to develop, but large-scale production is much more difficult.
Fruit juice and coffee have completely different characteristics, requiring higher standards for production equipment, mixing processes, and sterilization technologies. If the production line is not properly designed, problems such as separation, flavor changes, sedimentation, and unstable shelf life may occur.
This is why more and more beverage manufacturers are choosing professional fruit coffee beverage production lines for large-scale commercial production.
These production lines are usually designed around multiple processes, including fruit juice processing, coffee extraction, ingredient blending, homogenization, sterilization, filling, and packaging, ensuring that every step from raw materials to finished products remains stable and controllable.
What Equipment Does a Fruit Coffee Beverage Production Line Include?
From an actual production perspective, a complete fruit coffee beverage production line usually consists of the following core systems:
1. Raw Material Processing System
The main raw materials of fruit coffee beverages include fresh fruit juice, fruit pulp, coffee extract, syrup, and functional ingredients.
This section usually requires the following equipment:
For the coffee component, professional coffee extraction equipment is usually used. Through precise temperature and pressure control, it ensures consistent coffee flavor and quality.
Fruit raw materials require filtration, pulp removal, and standardization treatment, allowing the flavor to remain consistent during the following blending process.
2. Ingredient Blending and Mixing System
The key characteristic of fruit coffee beverages is flavor balance.
If the coffee flavor is too strong, it may overpower the fruit taste, while excessive fruit juice content can weaken the coffee aroma. Therefore, industrial production requires a highly accurate ingredient control system.
The blending system generally includes:
Advanced production lines can achieve automatic ingredient proportioning, reducing human errors and maintaining consistent flavor in every production batch.
3. Homogenization System
Fruit juice and coffee belong to different liquid systems. If directly mixed, separation and sedimentation may easily occur.
Therefore, production lines usually include a high-pressure homogenization system.
The main functions of homogenization include:
Reducing particle size
Improving product stability
Enhancing taste and texture
Reducing separation over time
After homogenization treatment, the overall texture of the beverage becomes smoother and more refined.
What Equipment Does a Fruit Coffee Beverage Production Line Include?
From an actual production perspective, a complete fruit coffee beverage production line usually consists of several core systems:
1. Raw Material Processing System
The main raw materials for fruit coffee beverages include fruit juice, fruit pulp, coffee extract, syrup, and functional ingredients.
This section usually requires the following equipment:
For the coffee component, professional coffee extraction equipment is usually used. Through stable temperature and pressure control, it ensures consistent coffee flavor.
Fruit ingredients need to undergo filtration, pulp removal, and standardization treatment to maintain consistent taste during the subsequent blending process.
2. Ingredient Blending and Mixing System
The key characteristic of fruit coffee beverages is flavor balance.
If the coffee flavor is too strong, it may overpower the fruit taste, while excessive fruit juice content can weaken the coffee aroma. Therefore, industrial production requires precise control of the blending system.
The blending system generally includes:
A mature production line can achieve automatic ingredient proportioning, reduce human errors, and maintain consistent flavor in every production batch.
3. Homogenization System
Fruit juice and coffee belong to different liquid systems. If they are directly mixed together, separation and sedimentation may easily occur.
Therefore, production lines usually include a high-pressure homogenizer.
The main functions of homogenization include:
After homogenization, the beverage achieves a smoother texture and more uniform quality.
4. Sterilization System
Sterilization is one of the most important steps in beverage production.
Common sterilization methods include:
Different products have different shelf-life requirements, so the appropriate sterilization method will vary.
For example:
A reasonable sterilization process not only ensures food safety but also helps preserve the original coffee and fruit flavors.
5. Filling and Packaging System
After sterilization, beverages enter aseptic or hot filling systems for packaging.
Common packaging formats include:
PET bottles
Glass bottles
Cans
Tetra Pak cartons
Different packaging formats require different filling equipment.
For example:
PET bottles usually use hot filling production lines
Canned products require can sealing equipment
Aseptic cartons require aseptic filling systems
A mature fruit coffee beverage production line should have several key features that are worth paying attention to during equipment selection.
Stable Ingredient Control
Flavor consistency is very important for fruit coffee beverages.
A reliable production line must ensure:
Flexible Product Switching
Beverage manufacturers usually produce multiple types of products, such as:
Fruit coffee beverages
Fruit juice beverages
Tea beverages
Therefore, the production line needs to support multiple product types and reduce the cost and time required for product changeovers.
High Level of Automation
Automation systems can not only improve production efficiency but also reduce errors caused by manual operation.
Modern beverage production lines are usually equipped with:
PLC automatic control systems
Online monitoring systems
Automatic cleaning systems (CIP)
Compliance with Food Safety Standards
Food processing equipment must meet relevant hygiene requirements, including:
These details may seem minor, but they are very important for long-term production operations.
