Overview of Commonly Used Fruit and Vegetable Processing Line Machinery in African Countries

Fruit and vegetable processing line machinery in African countries must adapt to high temperatures and unstable power supply environments, focusing on high efficiency, energy saving, and localized design. The following are common types and features:

Peelers: Suitable for hard fruits and vegetables like pineapples and pumpkins. Models like the Japanese ASTRA KA720P emphasize low energy consumption (250W) and a compact design, meeting the needs of African beverage chains and processing plants, and can improve efficiency by 20%.

Slicers: For example, banana slicers utilize a multi-hole feed design, but durability and maintenance are key challenges, requiring enhanced local service support.

Juice Beverage Production Lines: These include sterilization and filling modules, supporting the processing of mangoes, plums, and other fruits, with daily processing capacity reaching tens of tons and meeting export standards.

Jam and Dried Fruit Production Lines: Jam lines integrate sterilization and packaging, while dried fruit lines feature heat pump drying technology to ensure a moisture content of ≤8% and extend shelf life, making them suitable for perishable fruits like berries.

Potato Chip Production Lines: These cover the entire process from washing, slicing, and frying, are highly automated, and are experiencing strong growth in the African snack market.
