Pickled cucumber processing line

Are you thinking about launching pickled cucumber processing line and operating in the fieid of food industry?

Are you interested in getting more information about pickled cucumber processing line?

In this article, we will discuss the different stages and machinery used in this processing line.

Brief description of pickled cucumber:

Pickled cucumber is popular kind of pickle. To prepare pickled cucumbers, they put cucumbers in a vinegar and salted water or other solutions at a specified time. In some other way, cucumbers are placed in acidic environments, such as lactic acid.

Like other pickles, the pickled cucumber also has a low calorie content. The cucumber has enough vitamin K. A pickled cucumber contains 12 to 16 micrograms and approximately 15% to 20% of the vitamin C needed per day. Also, the pickled cucumber contains three kilocalories of energy derived from carbohydrates found in cucumbers. However, pickled cucumber contains a lot of sodium. Each pickled cucumber contains between 350 and 500 milligrams of sodium, while the maximum daily sodium requirement of one person is 2,400 milligrams.

Pickled cucumber consumption terms:

• Can be used with variety of foods
• For preparing a variety of fast and ready foods
• In the preparation of various salads and salad dressings and sauces

Pickled cucumber various types:

Salty cucumber is produced and consumed in both pasteurized and fermented form. Pasteurized pickles are produced industrially and in food factories, and then pasteurized. Fermented brine cucumbers are usually made in traditional workshops or at home.

In the following, we will give a brief explanation of the steps that must be taken to make cucumbers in a manufacturing plant to be converted to cucumber:

Different steps in the processing line:

In general, it can be said that the cucumber is placed in a suitable solution prepared from brine and vinegar, prepared cherries.

Now, let’s briefly explain the industrial process of cherry production:

Step 1) Primary washing:

At this point, the cucumbers are cleaned from any external contamination, which can be easily done by the method of immersion cucumber in the water.

Step 2) Grading:

One of the most important steps in this processing line is grading that can be based on criteria such as:

 Shape and size, texture, appearance imperfections, tastes, gritty, and color.

Step 3) Separation:

After the washing and grading step, separation step must be done. (separation of waste parts and cucumbers that are not qualitatively suitable for this production line).

Step 4) Separating the ends of cucumber (tail):

After completing separation step, the prepared cucumbers enter the machine to remove the tail of cucumbers. Keep in mind that this step can be easily done manually.

Step 5) Secondary washing:

At this stage, a second wash should be done again, this time it is done by high-pressure water spray.

Step 6) Putting cucumbers in the jar:

This stage of the processing line is also done manually or by a fully automatic machinery.

Step 7) Preparing the solution:

Salt solution contains 10-7% vinegar and 4-3% salt. After preparing the solution, they are placed in a double-cooking pot and warm up to 95 ° C.

Step 8) Filling the salt water inside the final product:

At this step jars are filled with salt water, and this action is done with liquid filing machines.

Step 9) Pasteurization:

Pasteurization is done to increase the shelf life of pickled cucumbers.

Step 10) Capping Machine:

This device has a reservoir in which the doors are poured into the beginning and are gradually used for capping. It has a rotary head that performs capping with its own rotation.

Step 11) Labeling Machine:

In this section, the jars are inserted from one side to the device and after the labeling, the jars are rotated (according to the settings made) and labels stick to it, and then from the other side of the labeled glass outside be.

Step 12) Shrink Packaging:

In this step, the pickled cucumber jars, which was previously capped and labeled, are shrined. This action is done both automatically and with the use of human resources.
