The diagram illustrates the 11-step process of producing apple juice.
Overall, the linear process begins with harvesting and selecting the best apples and ends with the delivery of the final product. It is also worth noting that the steps involve both human labor and modern machinery.
Beginning with the first half, apples from the tree will be picked and places into baskets, put into the production line and then washed and sorted to move to the next step. In the stage 3, these fresh apples will be ground. Following this initial phase, a centrifuge is used to separate water from apple concentrate after being transferred to the pressing machine. After this can occur, aroma will be added to concentration.
In the later stage of the process, we use filtering method and then then the juice is moderately heated in a temperature-controlled tube until it reaches 80 degrees for pasteurization. Upon passing this zone, when after all processing main steps are completed, the apple juice will be filled into bottles. The process ends when all apple juice is packed into boxes and delivered to end users on trucks.
