Introduction- how to start  A FRUIT JUICE CANNING Company?

Fruit Juice Canning is a method of preserving fruit juice sealed in an airtight container, which prevents microorganisms from entering and proliferating inside. 

The products may include: Canned fruit cocktail consisting of a mixture of fruits, such as; mangoes, tangerine, lemons, apples, and passion fruits. 

There is an increasing demand for canned fruits as they can be sold in both local and foreign markets.

Production Capacity

It is projected that at least 100 Dozens of 300m litres (1,400 ltrs) of canned juice can be produced a day.

Production Technology & Process

The canning process involves placing fruit juice in jars or similar containers and heating them to a temperature that destroys microorganisms that cause food to spoil. 

During this heating process air is eliminated from the jar and as it cools a vacuum seal is formed.

This seal prevents air from getting back into the product bringing with it contaminating micro-organisms.

Capital Investment Requirements and Equipment: 

This project may be operated on both a small and large scale depending on the size and nature of the market. 

The fixed capital investment required to start it is approximately 27,170 USD as shown in the table below:

Raw Material Requirements for 12 Months: It is projected that in a month, at least 42,000 kgs of fruits, 36,000 jar cans & labels are required to meet the projected production capacity. 

The revenue per annum is USD 748,800, with an operating cost of USD 656,473 at a  net profit of 12%. 

The payback period is 4 months.

Market Analysis

The demand for canned juice is very high in supermarkets, hotels, and for export.

The blending tank is made of stainless steel 304, with internal and external polish. It is easy cleaning and corrosion resistance.

2. Mixing Tank/Agitator tank

Choosing the right machine will greatly advance your production efficiency and production quality. The stainless steel mixing tank can engineer heating, cooling or vacuum or another process.

3. Duplex filters

Duplex filters are all made of high-quality stainless steel SUS304, which is composed of two cylinders. Inside and outside polishing 0.4μm, equipped with a pressure gauge at the top row of the table valve, is suitable for the removal of liquid milk, sugar, beverage, oral liquid, such as invisible solid impurities in the liquid purification. Two filters are used interchangeably, in the case of non-stop filter replacement, suitable for long-term continuous production.

4. Homogenizer

The Homogenizer equipment with extensive uses, which can homogenize fine material liquids or make the material liquids to form a high-pressured spray. It is widely used in the production of milk, cold drink, beverage, edible chemicals, and areas such as pharmacy, biologic technology and etc. When the material liquid is homogenized under high pressure, the liquid delamination can be prevented or reduced while the fineness, cleanliness, looseness, and inner quality can be improved.
