What is the work of the ceramic membrane on the orange juice production line?

Orange juice is one of the most popular beverages among consumers and even a common drink in some households. The taste of orange juice has a lot to do with the choice of raw materials and the production process. Fresh, pest-free oranges are the finest raw material, high in vitamins, rich in juice and high in sugar. Fresh oranges are washed off the surface by a high-pressure water gun, and then concentrated into fresh orange juice by peeling, removing leaves, cutting and juicing.

It is necessary to remove rotten and moldy raw materials during the orange juice production process, and at the same time, it is necessary to separate and remove the residual pulp, fiber, bacteria, etc. from the orange juice, leaving only vitamins and other nutrients. This is where ceramic membrane technology comes into play. Ceramic membrane technology is based on the physical action of selectively permeable membranes to achieve separation between different substances, and its basic principle is osmosis. During the permeation process, substances on the raw material side enter the product side through the membrane, and impurities are trapped by the membrane.

The material, structure, and pore size of the membrane are the key factors that determine the permeation effect. The ceramic membrane has a narrow pore size distribution, and nano-scale separation materials are used, and the material liquid can be "cross-flow filtration" in the membrane. Driven by pressure, the pressed orange juice flows through the membrane tube, and the fibers, pulp debris, bacteria and other components are trapped, leaving only the pure orange juice and nutrients through the membrane. This process does not require heating, retains the activity of heat-sensitive nutrients, and does not require the addition of chemicals, making it very safe.

The ceramic membrane can be well adapted to pasteurization and **CIP cleaning, fully comply with food and health standards when clarifying orange juice, low energy consumption, low failure rate, high mechanical strength, long service life, and small footprint, which can greatly reduce the production cost input of orange juice processing plant, improve production efficiency, and then improve economic benefits. As a new technology for physical separation that is widely used, ceramic membrane has played a huge advantage in the production of various beverages, broadening the profit margin for various enterprises.
