EVALUATION AND COMPARING THE LOSSES OF DIFFERENT JUICE PACKAGING RATES AND SYSTEMS IN THREE JUICE PLANTS

This research was conducted to evaluate and compare the juice damaged packages, bottels and quantities of juice losses under different rates of packging processes. Six rates were studied in plant A and five rates in plant B and C for two different products of juices using tetra brick aseptic packaging machine (TP), vole pack packaging machine (VP) and Automatic vacuum filer/capper machine (AUV) in addition to quantities of juice losses. The damage juice packages , bottels and the quantity of juices losses accompanied with each rates in the plants were compared and the results cleared that the suitable machine rateses for different packaging system in plants.(A), (B) and (C). Experiments cleared that the suitable machine rates were 6300 and 5460 pack/hr for TP. mango juice 200 ml and 1000 ml in plant A respectively,while they were 5460 and 5520 pack/hr for VP.240 mango and apple juice 130 gm , 4860 and 4800 pack/hr for VP.240 mango and apple juice 200 gm , they were 3540 and 3420 bottle/hr for AUV mango and apple juice 200 ml in plant B respectively, in addation to 3240 and 3540 pack/hr for VP. apple juice 130 ml and 200 ml in plant C respectively.
