Can fruit processing production lines be customized?

With the explosive growth in consumer demand for processed fruit and vegetable beverages, jams, enzymes, and other deep-processed products, non-standardized and flexible fruit processing production lines are becoming an industry necessity. Data shows that the market size of fruit and vegetable processing equipment in my country is expected to exceed 20 billion yuan by 2025, with customized production lines accounting for over 60%. As a leading domestic enterprise in the fruit and vegetable processing equipment field, Shanghai Gofun Machinery Co., Ltd., leveraging its modular design concept and full-industry chain service capabilities, has provided companies such as Mengniu and Bright Dairy with customized solutions ranging from 3 tons/day to 1500 tons/day.

Traditional standardized production lines suffer from three major pain points: high capacity redundancy, poor process adaptability, and low equipment utilization. For example, a juice company once suffered from insufficient capacity during peak seasons and idle equipment during off-seasons due to purchasing fixed-capacity production lines, resulting in annual losses exceeding 3 million yuan. Shanghai Gofun utilizes a dual-track customization model of "capacity module + process module," breaking down production lines into individual units such as cleaning, crushing, sterilization, and filling, allowing customers to freely combine them according to their needs. Taking blueberry processing as an example, its customized production line can simultaneously produce three types of products: blueberry enzyme, fruit wine, and dried fruit, increasing equipment reuse rate by 40%.

Shanghai Gofun's key competitive advantage lies in its dual technological barriers of "materials + intelligence." All parts in contact with food are made of food-grade 304 stainless steel, with corrosion resistance 1.5 times that of international standards. In the field of intelligent control, its independently developed PLC system can achieve millisecond-level response to temperature, pressure, and flow rate. In a mango processing production line customized for a multinational company, this system automatically adjusts the crusher blade spacing by monitoring the pulp particle size in real time, increasing the juice yield from 65% to 82%.

Unlike traditional equipment vendors, Shanghai Gofun provides a full-chain service encompassing "process R&D - equipment customization - installation and commissioning - after-sales maintenance." Its team includes food engineering professionals, mechanical designers, and automation engineers, enabling them to develop customized processes for different fruits and vegetables. For example, in a pineapple processing project, the team introduced a belt juicer and low-temperature vacuum concentration technology to reduce energy consumption while preserving vitamin C; in a tomato sauce production line, a dual-filter and diatomaceous earth filtration system reduced product turbidity to below 0.5 NTU.

Currently, Shanghai Gofun serves over 300 companies worldwide, with its customized production lines covering more than 20 kinds of seasonal fruits such as blueberries, mangoes, and pineapples. As consumption upgrades drive fruit and vegetable processing towards refinement and functionality, customized production lines are evolving from "optional configurations" to "industry standard."
