In February 2026, Taizy Machinery successfully delivered a turnkey pomegranate juice processing line to a leading fruit processing facility in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The integrated fruit juice production line comprising a pomegranate peeling and seed extraction machine, crushing juicer, and bubble washing system has enabled the client to process up to 500 kg of fresh pomegranates per hour—transforming whole fruit into clean, juice-ready seeds with minimal labor intervention. This pomegranate processing equipment has reduced manual processing time by 85% while improving seed recovery rates to 94%, positioning the client to meet surging demand for premium pomegranate products across the Balkan region.
Bối cảnh khách hàng
Our client operates a mid-sized fruit processing facility located in the scenic outskirts of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The company specializes in producing natural fruit juices, concentrates, and value-added pomegranate products for both domestic consumption and export markets. With Bosnia and Herzegovina’s agricultural sector experiencing steady growth—particularly in fruit cultivation—the client sought to capitalize on increasing regional demand for antioxidant-rich pomegranate juice and derived products.
Prior to implementing Taizy’s pomegranate juice processing line, the facility relied on labor-intensive manual methods for pomegranate preparation. Workers spent countless hours cutting, peeling, and extracting seeds by hand—a process that was not only slow but also resulted in significant product loss and inconsistent quality. The seasonal nature of pomegranate harvests (September through November) created intense pressure to process large volumes quickly while maintaining product integrity. The client recognized that automating their pomegranate processing equipment was essential to scaling operations and competing with imported juice products flooding regional markets.
Thách thức & Vấn đề của khách hàng
1. Labor-Intensive Manual Processing
The client’s manual seed extraction process required 15-20 workers per shift to achieve merely 100 kg of processed seeds per hour. During peak harvest, this created unsustainable labor costs and recruitment challenges in a region with declining agricultural workforce participation.
2. High Product Loss Rates
Traditional hand-peeling methods damaged approximately 25-30% of pomegranate seeds through crushing and tearing. This waste directly impacted profitability, as premium-grade seeds command significantly higher prices in both juice and fresh-packaged markets.
3. Inconsistent Product Quality
Human processing variability resulted in batches containing residual membrane fragments, broken seeds, and inconsistent cleanliness levels. Retail buyers and juice manufacturers demanded more uniform raw materials that manual methods could not reliably deliver.
4. Slow Processing Speed
With only three months of fresh pomegranate availability, the client struggled to process sufficient inventory to meet year-round production schedules. Their existing fruit juice production line capacity forced them to turn away potential contracts from major supermarket chains.
5. Hygiene and Safety Concerns
Open manual processing exposed seeds to environmental contaminants and human contact, raising food safety audit concerns as the client pursued HACCP certification required for EU market access.
Taizy Solution: Integrated Pomegranate Juice Processing Line
Following detailed consultation and analysis of the client’s production goals, Taizy engineers designed and manufactured a complete three-stage pomegranate juice processing line optimized for the specific characteristics of Bosnian-grown pomegranates. This pomegranate processing equipment seamlessly integrates peeling, seed extraction, cleaning, and preliminary juicing capabilities.
Stage 1: Pomegranate Peeling and Seed Extraction Machine
Thông số kỹ thuật:
- Processing capacity: 0.5 ton/hour (500 kg/hour)
- Motor power: 1.5 kW
- Screen aperture: 16mm fish-eye holes
- Beating blades: Metal blades + rubber-coated blades (hybrid design)
- Material: 304 stainless steel (excluding power system)
- Dimensions: 1950 × 660 × 1320 mm
The peeling and seed extraction machine represents the heart of this pomegranate juice processing line. Its innovative dual-blade system—combining durable metal blades for initial skin breaking and gentle rubber-coated blades for seed separation—ensures maximum recovery of intact arils while minimizing damage. The specialized 16mm fish-eye screen design allows seeds to pass through while retaining peel fragments and membrane pieces.
The hybrid blade configuration was specifically selected for Bosnian pomegranate varieties, which feature slightly tougher rinds than Mediterranean cultivars. This customization demonstrates Taizy’s commitment to tailoring pomegranate processing equipment to regional agricultural realities.
Stage 2: Crushing Juicer Machine
Thông số kỹ thuật:
- Model: 0.5-ton crushing juicer
- Screw shaft diameter: 88 mm
- Screen mesh: 0.6 mm
- Điện áp: 380V / 50Hz / Ba pha
- Công suất: 3 kW
- Processing material: Pomegranates
- Chất liệu: thép không gỉ 304
- Dimensions: 1030 × 380 × 1100 mm
- Weight: 110 kg
- Bonus: 2 spare belts included
The crushing juicer provides flexible processing options within the fruit juice production line. While primarily configured for seed washing in this installation, the 0.6 mm fine screen and powerful 3kW screw press can efficiently extract juice from pomegranate seeds when needed. The 88 mm screw shaft diameter ensures consistent feeding and pressing action, while the food-grade 304 stainless steel construction meets European hygiene standards.
The inclusion of two spare drive belts ensures uninterrupted operation during the critical harvest season when downtime would result in significant financial losses.
Stage 3: Máy rửa bong bóng
Thông số kỹ thuật:
- Mẫu: Máy rửa bong bóng 2.5 mét
- Capacity: 500 kg/hour
- Plastic chain plate width: 800 mm
- Dimensions: 2500 × 1100 × 1300 mm
- Điện áp: 380V / 50Hz / Ba pha
- Công suất: 3 kW
- Weight: 205 kg
- Processing material: Pomegranate seed cleaning
- Material: 304 stainless steel, 2 mm plate thickness
The bubble washing machine completes this pomegranate juice processing line by thoroughly cleaning extracted seeds. High-pressure air injection creates turbulent water flows that remove residual membrane fragments, sugars, and surface contaminants while the 800 mm wide plastic chain plate gently transports seeds through the 2.5-meter washing chamber. The generous width accommodates high-volume throughput without product accumulation or damage.
The 2 mm thick stainless steel construction ensures structural integrity and longevity, even when processing the acidic juices characteristic of pomegranates.
Accessories Package
To maximize operational reliability, Taizy included a comprehensive spare parts package:
Bearing and Hardware Kit:
- UCF209 bearings: 10 units
- Nylon guide wheels: 1 set (4 pieces)
- 61804-Z bearings: 2 pieces (complimentary)
- Brass bushings 38×30×45: 1 piece (complimentary)
- Oil seals 30×50×8: 5 pieces (complimentary)
Additional Components:
- Extra spray nozzle set: 1 complete set for the washing machine
These strategically selected spare parts address components subject to normal wear, enabling the client to perform immediate maintenance without waiting for international shipments during critical production periods.
