How to install and operate the fruit juice processing line & aseptic filling machine: step-by-step procedure
The operating sequence MCF Technology follows to install, commission and start up the fruit juice processing line & aseptic filling machine, through to daily operation and planned maintenance. Delivery, erection and on-site service are included worldwide.
1. Site survey and utilities check· ~2 working days (indicative)
Technical survey on the layout of the fruit juice processing line & aseptic filling machine: passage heights, flooring and drains, maintenance clearances and availability of steam, cooling water, filtered compressed air and treated water for dilutions. The final list of customer-side preparations is handed over.
2. Shipment, receiving and positioning of the modules· ~3 working days (indicative)
Worldwide delivery with sea-freight or road packing, unloading and positioning of the modules (Preparazione frutta: lavaggio, denocciolatura, raffinazione, Serbatoi di miscelazione e correzione Brix, Deaeratore, omogeneizzatore e sterilizzatore) on the areas foreseen by the layout, checking the packing list and the condition of the components.
3. Mechanical assembly and piping· ~14 working days (indicative)
Assembly of the units, conveyor alignment, hygienic welding of the stainless-steel piping and installation of valves and instruments according to the P&ID, supervised on site by MCF Technology technicians.
4. Utility hook-ups and electrical connections· ~4 working days (indicative)

5. Sanitation, CIP and dry runs· ~3 working days (indicative)
Washing and passivation of the product-contact surfaces, CIP circuit verification with flow, temperature and detergent-concentration control, tightness tests and dry-run cycles on all modules.
6. Functional commissioning and process trials· ~4 working days (indicative)
hot run of the pasteuriser, deaeration and homogenisation checks, hot-fill or aseptic filling test. Trials are run with the customer's real product and recorded in the commissioning report.
7. Production start-up and staff training· ~5 working days (indicative)
Assisted start-up with continuous production, training of operators and maintenance staff on HMI, format changeover, safety and sanitation, handover of manuals and drawings in the agreed language.
8. Daily operation and planned maintenance
Daily operation with Brix, pH and filling temperature, fill level and closure integrity. Planned maintenance: plate and homogeniser cleaning, piston and valve checks, in-line instrument calibration. On-site and remote service with critical spare parts agreed in the quotation.
Durations and activities are indicative: the erection, commissioning and training plan is defined in the quotation after the site survey and line sizing. No figure is a contractual performance.
