how to make apple juices

Step 1 — Drop the bags of apples in a large hollow container of a first machine in which the apples will be washed and crushed.

Step 2 — The flesh from the apples is extracted and dropped on flat pieces of framed wood which two people cover with pieces of jute fabric before placing another frame on top. They are compressed to extract the juice.

Step 3 — The apple juice is sucked into large labeled white containers through thin pipes.

Step 4 — It goes in a juice extractor so as to remove the impurities.

Step 5 — The juice is sucked again into a set of other white containers where it will be heated to 150 F (70 C), to provide un flash de pasteurisation (quick, light pasteurization).

Step 6 — At the other end of the chain, people place the empty bottles used for the fruit juice on a moving belt. They are kept warm by thin but strong streams of water projected on them, to avoid a large temperature difference between the glass and the warm juice. Without this step, the bottles might explode.

Step 7 — One person is in charge of placing the bottles one next to the other for them to be filled.
Once this is done, they are closed with a metallic cap similar to the ones used on bottles of beer.

Step 8 — The bottles are placed in the crates and the whole process is completed.
