For NFC (Not From Concentrate) apple juice, "freshness" and "safety" are the core cornerstones of market competitiveness. Without added preservatives or concentration/reduction processes, microbial control throughout the production cycle has become the industry's key pain point. With 20 years of technical accumulation in fluid processing equipment, Shanghai Chase has created an end-to-end solution covering "raw material processing - high-temperature sterilization - aseptic filling", blocking contamination from the source, accurately meeting NFC industry standards, and preserving the complete nutrition and flavor of fresh fruit.
End-to-End Equipment Closed-Loop: Building a Comprehensive Aseptic Shield
Aseptic control cannot be achieved through a single link - it requires a complete protective system from raw material processing to filling and sealing. Shanghai Chase constructs a seamless aseptic system through coordinated complete sets of equipment:
Front-end Pretreatment Equipment: The pitting and crushing machine achieves high crushing rate and complete separation of flesh and core; the refined beater precisely separates pomace from juice, making the juice smoother while reducing contamination risks caused by impurities carried in raw materials, laying the foundation for aseptic production from the source.
Core Filling Equipment: The automatic aseptic BIB (Bag-in-Box) filling machine realizes full automation of cutting, bag feeding, filling, sealing, and output, with no manual contact throughout the process to eliminate human-induced contamination. The aseptic bulk bag filling machine combines the advantages of energy-saving normal-temperature storage and convenient transportation, adapting to production needs of different scales. The aseptic chamber of the equipment complies with GB 50073-2013 "Code for Design of Clean Rooms and Controlled Environments", featuring a fully enclosed cavity and seamlessly connected 304 stainless steel material, with no hygienic dead ends and easy cleaning and disinfection. Coupled with a precise servo filling system and automatic sealing technology, it avoids secondary contamination from juice overflow and completely cuts off microbial invasion paths.
Precise Process Control: Balancing Sterilization and Freshness Retention
The key to microbial control lies in the precise regulation of process parameters, achieving the dual goals of sterilization and freshness retention:
After 20 years of technical refinement, Shanghai Chase's high-temperature sterilization equipment includes: tubular sterilizers for ultra-high temperature instant sterilization, double-pipe sterilizers for stable and precise temperature control, and tunnel sterilizers for multi-scenario adaptation. All three types of equipment can completely kill microorganisms while increasing the retention rate of nutrients such as vitamin C to over 95%, avoiding the "cooked taste" caused by overheating.
The filling link adopts aseptic cold filling technology: after sterilization, the juice is rapidly cooled to normal temperature before filling. Combined with a fully automatic process, it achieves 8-10 months of normal-temperature storage without adding preservatives, perfectly matching the core demand of NFC for "no additives, fresh preservation".
Compliance and Adaptability Upgrade: Empowering Industrial Standardized Production
With 20 years of technical accumulation, Shanghai Chase's equipment boasts both stability and energy efficiency. It can meet the customized needs of small and medium-sized enterprises and adapt to the efficient operation of large-scale production lines, comprehensively addressing the production pain points of enterprises of different sizes.
