The flow diagram illustrates the sequential stages involved in the production of concentrated apple juice.
Overall, it is clear from the diagram that the process comprises 11 main stages, transitioning from natural biological growth to mechanical liquid conversion.
Initially, apples are harvested and the best ones are selected. Once best apples are selected, they are sent to the washing and sorting process by via a receiving belt. Subsequently, the clear apples pass through apple grinder machine where they are ground and sent to the pressing machine.
In this machine apples are compressed to make an apple concentration from which in the next stage a centrifuge separates water. Before apple concentration is purified, aroma is added. Having been filtered, concentration then undergoes the process of pasteurization where the temperature is approximately 80 degrees Celsius. Apple juice concentration is now ready to be poured into bottles, so the next stage involves bottle filling. In the penultimate stage, the finished product is packaged and finally, delivered.
