【Fruit and Vegetable Juice Concentrated】

Case background: As consumers pay attention to the intake of natural foods and nutrients, the demand for fruit and vegetable juice drinks has expanded. Traditional fruit and vegetable juice concentration methods have problems such as large equipment, high energy consumption, long concentration time, and destruction of the active ingredients of raw materials.

Application process: The reverse osmosis membrane technology is used to concentrate the fruit and vegetable juice, and the different components in the feed liquid are separated, purified and concentrated by selective separation of the membrane.

Application effect: It can reduce the browning reaction of fruit and vegetable juice products, uniform color, and effectively preserve the active ingredients of fruit and vegetable juice. Compared with traditional single concentration equipment, it can retain the original biologically active substances, nutrients and the original aroma, taste and color of the juice, and greatly reduce energy consumption.

【The advantages of reverse osmosis membrane in the food and beverage industry】

[ Efficient separation and purification ]

• Thoroughly remove impurities: It can efficiently intercept impurities such as bacteria, viruses, organic matter, heavy metal ions in the water, and the removal rate can usually reach more than 99%, ensuring the high purity and safety of food and beverage water and products.

• Accurate nutrition preservation: The pore size and separation characteristics of the membrane can be accurately controlled according to different needs. While removing impurities, it can retain the nutrients and flavor substances in food and beverages to the greatest extent. For example, in juice concentration, it can retain the aroma, vitamins, etc. of the original juice.

[ Energy saving and consumption reduction ]

• Low temperature operation: Compared with traditional concentration methods such as distillation and evaporation, the reverse osmosis membrane separation process is carried out at room temperature, and no large amount of heat energy is required to achieve phase transition, which greatly reduces energy consumption. For example, in the water purification process of beer brewing, a large amount of heating energy can be saved.

• Low operating pressure: With the continuous development of membrane technology, the new reverse osmosis membrane can achieve efficient separation under low operating pressure, reducing the energy consumption demand for high-pressure pumps and other equipment and reducing the operating cost of equipment.

[ Easy to operate and easy to maintain ]

• High degree of automation: The reverse osmosis membrane system can realize automated operations. Through the PLC control system, the operating parameters can be accurately controlled, such as pressure, flow, temperature, etc., reduce manual intervention, improve production efficiency and stability, and facilitate large-scale industrial production.

• Low maintenance cost: Membrane components have a long service life, generally up to 3-5 years, and daily maintenance mainly involves regular cleaning and inspection, without the need for complicated maintenance processes and a large number of maintenance equipment, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

[ Environmentally friendly ]

• Reduce wastewater discharge: In food and beverage production, reverse osmosis membrane technology is used to recycle water, which can reduce the wastewater emissions by 30%-50%, improve the utilization rate of water resources, and reduce environmental pollution.

• No chemical pollution: The reverse osmosis membrane separation process does not involve the addition of chemical agents, avoiding the pollution of chemical substances on the environment and the potential impact on product quality, and complies with the requirements of green production.
