Aseptic Filling Plant for NFC Juice

In 2021, we concluded an important project with a major orange juice company, Citrosuco. It involves a complete line for the aseptic filling of whole orange juice, with a capacity of 10,000 liters per hour. The project envisions a new filling unit using juice stored in farm tanks. The line is equipped with an aseptic tank that feeds a dual-head filler, capable of filling drums or bins.

In addition to the specific equipment for aseptic filling, TFM also provided the interconnecting piping with the farm tanks and the CIP unit for the entire piping and aseptic line. Additionally, we supplied the complete software for controlling all the equipment, integrated into the company's system.

It was a challenging project carried out by TFM's engineering team in collaboration with Citrosuco's engineering team.

Launch: EA-2C-SB Filling Machine – Agro and Dairy Versions

Tropical Food Machinery, from Pouso Alegre (MG), launches new Bag in Box aseptic filling machines in Agro and Dairy versions. The Agro version uses ozone for sterilization, ideal for inoculants and biofertilizers. The Dairy version uses hydrogen peroxide, ensuring safety in the packaging of dairy bases and Low Acid products. Low acidity products meet FDA (USA) standards, ensuring quality and export. TFM also maintains the standard Aseptic version, for pulps and tomatoes. More versatility and the same engineering excellence — Tropical Food Machinery.

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.
