| USHA, in the pursuit of excellence, has always
aimed at quality in production, With this
objective, we offer you processed fruits either hot packed or aseptically
packed, as per client's requirements.
HOT PACKING
This is carried out using superior quality of OTS cans. This
enables our products to be available in various packing sizes. We
also hold the distinct advantage of canning our wide range of products
in the vicinity of the fruit growing areas. The use of quality ripened
fruit & high quality cans, rigorously tested prior to use in
filling lines, ensure:
- Longer product shelf life
- Aesthetic appeal for display
- No requirement of refrigerated conditions for storage
ASEPTIC PACKING
Our aseptic processing & bag filling of fruit pulps - both mango
& guava - is done on imported machinery,
in the processing plant located in the heart of India's fruit growing
belt.
Once ripened these fruits are handpicked, inspected and mechanically
washed in the beginning of the process. Here the fruits are rinsed
by the high-pressure water jets.
The fruits are personally sorted out by our experienced staff,
to ensure the right quality and as they move on to the inspection
line known as the Merry-go-round. After this point there is
no human touch, as the entire process is automated, ensuring
completely hygienic processing.
The mangoes that are cut are then transferred by the bucket elevators
to 3-stage pulping: Destroying - where the seed and the rind are
separated, Pulping and lastly Finishing.
Care is taken to dispose off the separated seed and rind.
The next stage in this automated process is the Decanter (supplied
by Wesfalia, Germany) where Black specks are removed to ensure high
quality pulp.
The pulp collected in holding tanks undergoes chemical analysis
by the quality control department for approval
and certification.
This pure pulp then move on to a fully computerized tube in the
tube type sterilization unit, from Asepsystem,
Italy.
The sterilization process involves heating the pulp to a pre-determined
sterilization temperature and subsequently cooling to ambient temperature.
This heating and cooling frees the pulp of microbial flora.
The final stage of processing is now reached, wherein the sterilized
pulp is passed through computerized aseptic filler and filled in
pressurized Aseptic bags of desired quantity, in drums.
The sealed bags are then stored in a clean, cool area to ensure
optimum shelf life of the packed pulp.
The principle of Good Manufacturing Practices
that we at USHA adhere to, is evident in this entire process.
The entire plant is designed, planned, constructed and equipped
as per International Standards.
The flooring is alkali and acid resistant, the gutters are covered
with SS gratings and the walls covered up to 7 feet with glazed
tiles and many other precautions taken. This is to ensure that the
end product is of the best quality and processing is under aseptic
conditions.
