About TAHOORA FRESH FRUIT PROCESSING

Vision:
•To achieve & sustain market leadership, Fresh fruit processing
factory shall aim for complete customer satisfaction, by combining its
human and technological resources, to provide quality of fruit juices.
•In the process shall Fresh fruit processing factory strive to meet and
exceed customer’s satisfaction and set industry standards

Location:
•It is a modern fruit processing plant situated at Banavasi village of
Uttar Kannada district, Karnataka State.
•. The plant is located in one of the India's finest tropical fruit
growing region that has proper climate and soil for producing finest
quality pineapple, mango, banana, papaya in abundance.
• Depending on the season, the plant is engaged to process, refine products especially aseptic,
frozen purees and concentrates from various tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango, papaya
etc. The plant has the facility to pack fruit pulp and juice in sterilized and hermetically sealed
450/850 gm and 3.1 kg OTS cans.
• At present, the products are marketed prominently in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan,
Maharashtra, Delhi states along with our native Karnataka state.

 DETAILS OF TRAINING PROGRAMME

Fruits washing machine

• The machine was designed to operate in batches of about 50 oranges per batch
which are fed into the washing chamber through the fruit hopper.
• The machine was powered by a 1-hp single phase geared electric motor of 200
rpm with a power transmission efficiency of 90 %.
• The washing systems is aided by the sprinklers which spray water at high pressure
spray across and along the conveying belt over the fruits to be washed.
• In operation, the fruits lie still on the surface of belt conveyor without relative
motion between the product and the conveyor belt.
• In this way, there will generally be no damage to the fruits until the fruits arrive to
the dryer sheet in which the washed fruits are discharged into a collector.
• The debris and unwanted particles are removed through the drain net or dissolved
in the washing water.
• The water discharged into the water chamber after washing is recycled by pumping
and filtering it into the washing chamber in order to maximize water use.
Fruits peeling machine

• Pineapple cutting machine is a machine used to cut and peel the pineapple to form the
cylindrical shape pulp.
• It consists of motor and pneumatic cylinder to operate the pineapple peeling and slicing
equipment. In order to the machine, pineapple is initially located at the machine.
• Air supply to the pneumatic cylinder is fully controlled by a through the solenoid valve
and also controls the lead screw movement.
• Once the machine gets operated, pneumatic cylinder peels the skin of the
pineapple which is placed at the outside of the cutting cylinder where as core
of the pineapple will be placed at the inside of the cutting cylinder.
• The pineapple is pushed by a push plate using motor and lead screw
arrangement. After pushing of the pineapple core, cutting blade cuts the
pineapple with the help of air supply from the pneumatic cylinder.
• Pineapple peeling and slicing machine mainly consists of 6 major parts as
motor, pneumatic cylinder, solenoid valve, lead screw, microcontroller and
proximity sensor.
Fruits Cutting machine

• The setup involves a hopper arrangement and the pressure block is actuated by a
pneumatic cylinder, and has a reciprocating motion along the vertical length of
casing, while the cutting grid remains fixed.
• The air supply to the cylinder is controlled by a solenoid actuated DCV, which is
controlled by a Timing circuit.
• The entry of fruit into the grid apparatus is controlled using a pneumatic cylinder
along with a Double bar mechanism.
• The primary objectives, upon which, the present work is based are providing an
alternative to the existing automated system mainly, targeting the initial
investment factor, and to power a domestic product using pneumatics, thereby
eliminating the associated difficulties of manual vegetable cutting.
• The fruit is fed via inclined tube. A tray is placed at the bottom of the apparatus to
collect the fruit pieces after processing.
• Variable pressure setting for cutting different fruit is carried out by the Timing
circuit.
• The intricacy involved with such a system is the type of Lemon it can process.
• The system is advantageous in the fact that existing automation is high in cost, and
the power consumption is high. The proposed work is benefitted by pneumatic
power, which is abundant.
Juice Extraction Machine

• The raw materials are put into the hopper, then extracted under the screw.
• The squeezed juice goes into the bottom container through the filter, at the
same time, the waste is discharged by an annular gap between the screw and
the tapered portion.
• The diameter of the spiral screw ranges from Φ87.5mm to Φ175mm. And the
power of motor is 1.5kw to 4kw. Each hour the extractor machine can process
raw materials of 500kg to 1500kg.
• Filtering

• To make a clear juice, the extracted juice or pulp is filtered through a muslin
cloth or a stainless steel filter. Some of the larger filter presses have a filter
included.
• Although juice is naturally cloudy, some consumers prefer a clear product. It
may be necessary to use pectic enzymes to break down the pectin and to help
clear the juice.
