Description of Raisin

Raisin
The word Raisin comes from Latina which means cluster of grapes or
berries, the raisins is dark brown and wrinkled with a sweet mellow flavor.
it is produced from un-seeded or seeded, white or black grapes, A grape
becomes raisins when it moisture content has been reduced through sun
drying ,to around 16 percent.
Drying the grapes on clean paper trays between the vines, or placing the
grapes on special concrete drying area. The clusters are spread evenly and
turned
so that each grape gets the necessary amount of sunshine required ,

Different of types of Raisins

 Functionality of each equipment with
capacity (Wet Line Process)
1) Automatic Feeder with Breaker
The Automatic Feeder with Breaker feeds with raisins the
whole processing line keeps constant and adjustable the flow
of the raisins. It is consisted of a big hull, The Capacity of
Hull:1000kg of raisins. It is completely constructed by
stainless steel AISI 304 .
Capacity of Hull :- 200 2000kg of raisin maximum 8 ton

2) Conveyor Belt
The purpose of the conveyor belt is to transfer the raisins to
next machine, automatic feeder to the next machine is 4m.

. Pre- Washing
The purpose of this machine is to wash the raisins and to break the lumps of the raisins,
in order to separate them. This increases the efficiency of the machines that follows
the Pre-Washer Machine. It is consisted of a big hull full with water. The washing takes
place inside the hull and simultaneously, a rotating shaft breaks the lumps without
hurting the raisins. The water are coming out of the machine from the pipe, which is
underneath the machine. It is completely constructed by stainless steel AISI 304. The
major part of the required water is recalculated and the other is fresh water. The
dimensions of the machine is 1m diameter and 2m height.
Maximum Capacity : Up to 5 tone per hour
 4.Riffle Washer
The purpose of this machine is to remove all the heavier material than raisins ( i.e. stone etc.,) on
the processing line. These traps can be raised up with a pair of handles in order to remove away all
the trapped materials. The used water is collected into a stainless steel tank and one part of which
remains in tank and used again and other part is replaced by the fresh water.
Maximum capacity : up to 3 tone per hour

5.De- Watering Shaker

The de-watering shaker separates the water and the raisins as they come the washer machine it is
consisted of a shaker with 2 screens of dimensions 1X1m which are fixed with clips for
replacement. The screens the water from the raisins where the water goes to the water tank.
While the raisins proceed the the next machine.
 6.Conveyor Belt
The purpose of the conveyor belt is to transfer the raisins to next
sulphuring machine, the size of the conveyor belt is 4m. Same picture no
.2
7.Sulphuring Machine
The purpose of sulphur dioxide (SO2) helps the raisins to be more light
colored and further it kills the insects that live within the raisins.
The dimensions of sulphurik machine is 6m long, 2m width of the belt &
3.5m high it requires liquid SO2 for better results.
 De-watering Shaker
As similar construction of machine no4 with several nozzle on shaker
which sprays fresh water on the raisins to clean them from the sulphur
dioxide (SO2). As picture no 5
SPIN DRYER
The Spin dryer is used to remove the water that remains on the skin of the
raisins after the washing machine. It contributes a lot the efficiency of the
drying Machine.
Maximum Capacity : up to 4 ton per hour
 Conveyor Belt
The purpose of the conveyor belt is to transfer the raisins to next
drying machine, 6m. As picture no .2
Drying Machine
The Dryer reduces the level of moisture of the raisins. This operates
with a continues flow of product and it consists of three parts the
part of heating, the part of cooling, and the part of boiler. the
dimensions of each part are adjusted to the needs of the customer.
The fuel of the boiler is also chosen by the customer.
 Screw Band
The purpose of this machine is to collect all the raisins along the width of
the Drying Machine and simultaneously to break the dry lambs of raisins
that were created inside the Drying Machine. It is horizontally and it is
placed underneath of Drying Machine.

1) Automatic Feeder with Breaker
The Automatic Feeder with Breaker feeds with raisins the whole processing
line keeps constant and adjustable the flow of the raisins. It is consisted of
a big hull, The Capacity of Hull:1000kg of raisins. It is completely

Cleaning And Grading Machine

The purpose of this machine is to remove all sticks, hallow raisins and
everything that is lighter than raisins, Further more, it separates the
separates the raisins to different sizes (small, medium, large, jumbo etc.).
The sieves are fixed on the shaker with clips for easier replacement.
 Oiling System
The purpose of oiling is to shine the color of raisins in golden color.

Screw Band
The purpose of this machine is to collect all the raisins along the width of
the Drying Machine and simultaneously to break the dry lambs of raisins
that were created inside the Cleaning and Drying Machine.
 Stem Remover
The main purpose of this machine is to remove the stems from the raisins, it is consists of two cone
shaped screens in horizontal position where inside there is a shaft with knives which are rotated
and rub the raisins at the space between knives and screens. In this way we will completely
remove steam from the raisins. The remained stems on the raisins can reach very low levels (i.e. up
to 0.5%).

Supplementary Cleaning Machine.

Similar construction with machine No2, but with only one shaker with 2 screens of 1.13mX1.25m
and 2 vacuums. It is completely constructed bystainless steel AISI 304.
 Hand Selection Belt.
The purpose of this conveyor belt is to allow workers to perform the final
optical check of the products. Total dimensions of 4m long and 0.8m wide.
 Screw Band
The purpose of this machine is to collect all the raisins along the
with the hand selection belt.
 Weighing Machine.
The main purpose of this machine is to feed automatically with processed
raisins the paper cartons (up to 10 kgs). Two electronically weighers are
responsible for the accurate weight of each paper carton. The accuracy
that can be achieved can reach up to level of 10 grammars for each
carton. The movement of the paper cartons are also automatically.
Furthermore, the machine includes a press, which press the raisins inside
the box in order to reduce the total volume of the raisins and prevent the
movement of raisins inside the box.

 Basic Advantages Of Temke
Temke is completely automatic machine starting from first
step of bringing the raisins from the farmers, until final
stage of automatic weighing, Packing and Sticking.
Temke is mainly used for raisins process. Because for raisins
process includes all machine like washing, breaking the
lumps, automatic sulphuring(if is necessary)dryer, oiling,
cutting, removing the stumps, cleaning and grading, hand
picking finally automatic weighing, packing and sticking.
Temke machine are completely constructed by the stainless
steel AISI 304 and conveyor is made from special plastic for
food industries and confirmed by FDA.
 What type of oil used in Raisins
Sulphonated oil (100 to 150 rs per liter)
Vegetable oil(100 to 150 rs per liter)
why fruit and vegetable drying oil is used
Fruit drying oil or Dipping oil is commonly in our country is
essentially used for quick drying of grapes to make the raisins. Fruit
drying oil helps in quick removal of moisture. It is a blend of lower
alcohol esters of vegetable oil, sulphonated oils. This contribute the
drying rate and is necessary to prevent fermentation of emulsion in
bulk dip under the condition.
