Gas cylinders for mobile juice presses

The abbreviation NFC (Not From Concentrate) means that a given fruit or vegetable juice is produced without the use of concentrated juice, i.e., directly from raw juice derived from the harvest. For example, apple juice extraction begins by transferring the fruit from a crate to a special inspection table, where the fruit is sorted and any debris is removed. The fruit is then placed in a water bath, and once thoroughly washed, it goes to a grinder, where machines turn it into fruit pulp. The ground pulp is fed onto the rollers of a belt press, where the juice is extracted. The finished juice is pasteurized at a temperature of approximately 80 degrees Celsius. The entire pressing procedure is a highly mechanized process carried out in a press house. The use of mobile press houses is a modern solution that allows for juice production not only at the production facility but also in other locations.

A mobile juicing plant is simply a set of juicing equipment mounted on a mobile trailer. This unit contains everything needed to produce NFC juice, i.e., a complete line for washing fruit, followed by crushing, pressing, pasteurization, and finally bottling and packaging. These presses can be used anywhere there is access to clean tap water and a three-phase electrical connection. This is a very advantageous solution for entrepreneurs for whom transporting fruit to a press is problematic, while the cost of pressing in a mobile press is similar to that in a stationary press.

Mobile juice pressing is classified as an activity related to the processing of plant-based products, which is subject to regulations governing the so-called itinerant food trade and the processing of plant-based products for sale. This law is based on European Community Regulations No. 852/2004 and 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the hygiene of foodstuffs, as well as the national Food Safety and Nutrition Act, which is subordinate to these regulations.
To operate a business related to fruit processing, you must enter it in the register of establishments and then wait for approval from the State Sanitary Inspection authority. In the case of mobile pressing stations, however, the business must also be registered as a mobile retail operation, which is defined in Regulation No. 852/2004 as “the marketing of food from mobile and temporary premises such as tents, stalls, mobile sales points, and street vending machines.” It is worth noting that the means of transport from which sales are made must also be approved by the relevant State Sanitary Inspection Authority.

Mobile juice presses are becoming increasingly popular due to the many advantages this solution offers. Fruit growers appreciate the ability to press juice on the go, highlighting benefits such as:

• no additional costs for transporting fruits and vegetables to the press;
• time savings;
• an automated juicing process and efficient juice production.

Mobile juice presses allow for quick and convenient juice production at any location, which for many fruit growers is a deciding factor in choosing which press to use, especially since the production costs of a mobile press and a stationary press are practically the same.

A mobile juice press can operate in any location with access to fresh tap water. However, for the press to function properly, it also requires the right fuel, with gas being the most common choice. Bottled gas for a mobile juice press serves various purposes. Liquid gas can be used to thoroughly wash the fruit. The entire procedure involves placing the fruit evenly in a container so that the gas can be distributed uniformly to reach every piece of fruit.
The gas should act on the fruit for several minutes to remove any contaminants and surface microflora. Next, the gas must be thoroughly removed from the container, and a certain amount of time must be allowed for the gas to completely dissipate. Only then will the fruit be ready for consumption. Removing contaminants from fruit using liquid gas significantly improves its quality and shelf life.
