Background
In early 2025, a medium-sized food company in Southeast Asia, specializing in tropical juice processing, faced production capacity bottlenecks. The company primarily produces pineapple juice, mango juice, and passion fruit concentrate for export to the Middle East and European markets. With growing order volumes, the existing filtration equipment—plagued by low efficiency and frequent screen cleaning—caused repeated production line shutdowns. Moreover, inconsistent juice clarity had begun to compromise the shelf-life quality of finished products.
Customer Requirements
The customer required a small-flow filtration unit capable of stable operation, easy cleaning, and full compliance with food-grade hygiene standards. Specific demands included:
-
Filtration flow rate of no less than 1,000 L/H
-
Equipment material resistant to acidic juice corrosion
-
Easy-to-clean surfaces with no dead corners
-
Quick and convenient filter bag replacement
-
A complete system including feed pump and connecting piping, ready for plug-and-play installation upon delivery
Proposed Solution
Based on the customer’s provided data on juice viscosity, solids content, and target clarity, we recommended the JYSF-4#-304SS single-bag filter system. The equipment configuration includes:
-
Material: 304SS stainless steel, with mirror-polished internal and external surfaces
-
Top cover: Quick-open eye bolt design with clamp-type inlet/outlet connections
-
Sealing: Silicone O-ring gasket
-
Filter bag: 304SS support basket with PP filter bag (10-micron rating)
-
Pump: Sanitary-grade centrifugal pump
-
Piping: 304SS connecting pipes
-
Mobility: Integrated on a mobile stand for flexible use across different workstations
Implementation & Delivery
After order confirmation, we completed manufacturing and factory testing within 15 working days. The system was shipped by sea to the customer’s facility on the outskirts of Bangkok. A bilingual operation manual (English/Chinese) and installation video were provided with the shipment. The customer’s local maintenance team completed piping connection and commissioning in just half a day. The system started successfully on the first attempt, with stable pressure gauge readings and zero leakage.
Operational Performance
After three months of operation, the customer reported the following results:
-
Juice clarity improved significantly: turbidity dropped from an average of 18 NTU to below 3 NTU, meeting export standards
-
Filter bag replacement cycle: approximately once per shift; each replacement takes only 3 minutes and can be completed by a single operator, greatly reducing labor costs
-
Mirror-polished surfaces reduced daily cleaning time by half, with no material residue, effectively preventing cross-contamination between batches
-
Stable flow rate of 1,000 L/H perfectly matched the upstream juicing line, boosting overall filling line efficiency by approximately 20%
Customer Feedback
In an email, the customer’s production supervisor stated that although this small filtration system is compact in size, its operational reliability exceeded expectations. The quick-open structure and vent valve design, in particular, greatly simplified daily routine operations. They have already planned to purchase an identical unit for their new coconut water production line.
Conclusion
This case demonstrates that the JYSF-4#-304SS single-bag filter offers a cost-effective solution for demanding clarity filtration in small-to-medium-scale food and beverage processing applications. Its modular integrated design and user-friendly operation make it especially suitable for overseas food processors who place high priority on hygiene standards and production line efficiency.
