Iraq 5T/h Date Syrup Deep Processing Line Project - Turnkey Project | SHJUMP Machinery

Project Overview

Shanghai Jump Machinery Technology Co.,Ltd.(SHJUMP)has successfully delivered a modern,deep-processing line for a client in Iraq,capable of handling 120 tons of dried dates per day.This date syrup deep processing line uses dried dates as raw material,employing a fully automatic,low-temperature,and highly efficient process to produce 70°Brix date syrup/paste that meets international standards.The line supports various packaging formats,including aseptic bags,glass bottles,and tin cans.This comprehensive turnkey solution transforms local,high-quality resources into high-value export commodities,covering everything from raw material to finished product.

Project Challenges&Solutions

Challenge 1:Raw Material Characteristics&Handling Difficulties

Client Pain Point:Iraq is rich in high-quality dates,but they are mostly stored and traded in dried form.Dried dates are hard and have a high pit-to-flesh ratio.Traditional manual or simple mechanical processing is inefficient,yields low pulp extraction,and results in inconsistent product quality.
SHJUMP Solution:We didn't simply apply a fresh fruit processing solution.For dried dates,we designed a proprietary"Gradual Softening&Maceration Process."Using multiple SUS304 stainless steel softening tanks(e.g.,3 x 2500L capacity)equipped with jacketed heating and gentle agitators,the dried dates are fully rehydrated and softened under controlled temperatures.This process restores pectin activity,laying the foundation for efficient subsequent pitting and pulp extraction.

Challenge 2:Core Pitting&High Extraction Rate Requirements

Client Pain Point:Incomplete pit separation affects the product's mouthfeel,and traditional equipment often fails to scrape the pulp cleanly from the pits,leading to significant raw material waste.
SHJUMP Core Technology:We employ an"Italian-technology integrated pitting,pulping,and refining machine."This is not an ordinary pulper.Its two-stage operation and conical screen design(first stage 1.2mm for pitting,second stage 0.8mm for refining)utilize high-speed centrifugal force to complete pitting,crushing,pulping,and refining in a single pass.This effectively increases the pure juice extraction rate by 2-3%.For every 100 tons of raw material processed,this translates to an additional 2-3 tons of high-value date paste,directly enhancing the client's economic returns.

Challenge 3:Flavor Preservation&Efficient Concentration

Client Pain Point:High-temperature concentration destroys the natural honey-like aroma and golden color of dates,resulting in a"cooked"flavor and high energy consumption.
SHJUMP Core Process:We utilize a"Three-Effect Falling Film Vacuum Evaporator."This is our flagship energy-saving equipment.Under vacuum,the boiling point of the material is lowered,with the evaporation temperature in the third effect dropping as low as 48°C.Evaporating water at such low temperatures maximizes the retention of heat-sensitive vitamins,aromatic compounds,and natural pigments.Furthermore,the"three-effect"design allows secondary steam to be reused three times,saving over 30%in steam consumption compared to a single-effect evaporator,significantly reducing operational costs for the client.

Challenge 4:Long-Term Operational Stability&Hygiene Assurance

Client Pain Point:Date syrup deep processing lines often have hard-to-reach spots,making cleaning difficult and leading to microbial growth.High equipment failure rates also disrupt continuous production.
Full-Line SUS304 Stainless Steel:All product contact parts are made of food-grade stainless steel with mirror-polished internal surfaces(e.g.,300 grit),complying with HALAL and international food hygiene standards.
Automated CIP System:The integrated system includes tanks for acid,caustic,and hot water,along with program-controlled pumps and valves,enabling one-button automatic cleaning-in-place for the entire production line.This ensures no hygiene(blind spots)and guarantees product safety.
Imported Core Components:Key control systems use Siemens PLC and HMI touch screens.The inline Brix meter is from the Italian brand Maselli,and sensors are from Germany's IFM,ensuring precise control and reliable operation.

Key Equipment

Three-Effect Falling Film Vacuum Evaporator

For concentrating date syrup/paste,we employ the three-effect falling film vacuum evaporator.It rapidly removes moisture at low temperatures between 48-75°C,perfectly locking in the natural honey aroma and golden color of dates while preventing high-temperature caramelization.Its high concentration ratio of up to 1:5 directly concentrates the syrup to over 70°Brix,meeting long shelf-life requirements.The unique falling film design ensures long-term operation with minimal fouling and low maintenance costs.

Integrated Pitting,Pulping&Refining Machine

Specifically designed for Iraqi dates,this machine completes pitting,crushing,and refining in one operation.It efficiently separates pits from pulp,producing a fine,smooth date paste without any pit fragments and significantly improving extraction yield.The equipment is constructed from food-grade stainless steel with a quick-release design,complies with HALAL certification requirements,and is easy to clean and maintain–making it the ideal core machine for date paste and syrup production.
