Aseptic storage system - Les Jus de Marmande

The Tropicalfood Machinery aseptic storage system is designed for long-term storage of liquids submitted to sterilization treatment. The system was implemented at the company Les Jus de Marmande in France and went into operation at the end of 2017.

The main advantages offered by the aseptic storage system are:

Maintain the quality of the stored product without the need to add preservatives;
Maintain sterility of the product, protected from any type of external contamination;
Reduced energy costs, because storage at room temperature does not require refrigeration;
Elimination of packaging costs;
Possibility to supply aseptic tank trucks at ambient temperature, or non-aseptic at low temperature, for delivery at the destination plant.

If the product is consumed in the same unit, it is possible to feed the packaging lines from the storage tank itself. Otherwise, if the product is moved to another location, the product can be aseptically transferred to a tank truck with a capacity of up to 25tons.

Apis Flora - Concentrated Propolis Line

In 2019, we completed the delivery of a concentrated propolis production line through alcoholic extraction and subsequent vacuum evaporation. The process involves the propolis, initially in the form of wax from the apiary, being added to grain alcohol within a process tank specifically designed for this purpose. In the mixing tank, the product is kept constantly stirred, undergoing successive heating and cooling operations over many hours. After this period, the propolis will be diluted. The settled sediment is discarded, and the product is sent to the concentrator for alcohol evaporation and propolis concentration. The concentration pot facilitates vacuum evaporation, and the evaporated alcohol is recovered in an indirect condenser and sent back to the alcohol accumulation tank. The final product is pure and concentrated propolis. All equipment was constructed following safety standards for explosive atmospheres and ATEX certification. Currently, the line is in perfect operation, adding value to our customer.
