Fruit Juices

Processing fruit juices presents some special problems because the acids contained in fruits are corrosive to many metals. There also can be corrosive action from some of the preservatives used.

Viscosity: Varies from thin to thick, depending on the stage in the process

Remarks: Processing of fruit juices may involve sanitary requirements, possible flushing cycles and handling of many additives and preservatives, as well as the fruit juices. Some viscosity may be involved, depending on the extent to which the juices have been concentrated.

 Pump Notes: Pumps designed for sanitary service and constructed of stainless steel are normally required for this application.
