Date paste production line extruding blocks and vacuum wrapping them

Uniform date paste, batch after batch — from raw fruit to blocks ready for sale

You choose the texture — soft, medium or firm — and it comes out to the same specification every batch, looking like something a bakery will buy.

What this line gives your factory

Uniform paste opens new buyers

Bakeries and confectioners will not buy paste whose texture moves. Consistency is what turns you from a date seller into a raw-material supplier.

Continuous running, minimal labour

The line is connected from humidifying through to wrapping, so a small team runs production instead of rows of hand labour.

Longer life on the shelf

The steam tunnel sterilises the fruit before milling and vacuum wrapping protects the paste after — a longer shelf life with no additives.

How the line works

Steam tunnels humidify and sterilise, then pitting removes stones with minimal waste, then milling by single or twin screw, then kneading to a uniform body with the texture set where you want it — soft, medium or firm — then cooling, then extrusion into blocks or portions, then wrapping, usually under vacuum, with a metal detector before packing so nothing foreign leaves the line.

Paste line stages: steam tunnel, pitting, milling and extrusion

What you can configure

We build it around your factory — not a fixed model you take as it comes.

Screw: single or twin — twin gives a finer paste and higher throughput.
Capacity: from around 100 kg up to 3000–5000 kg per batch depending on model.
Texture: a homogeniser can be added where you need a finer body.
Steam tunnel: for humidifying, sterilising and extending shelf life, and for softening dry dates before milling.
Product safety: metal detection before packing, and vacuum wrapping for blocks.
Integration and control: linked to washing and conveyors, with PLC and HMI control.

Frequently asked questions

Single or twin screw?

Twin gives a finer paste and higher output. Single is enough if your target texture is medium and your volumes are lower.

Does it handle both dry and fresh dates?

Yes — the steam tunnel rehydrates dry fruit before milling, so both go through the same line.

Is the packing done under vacuum?

It is available and it is what most customers choose, since it extends block life. Standard wrapping is possible if your market prefers it.

Will it work on our factory's power?

We review your site specification and confirm 380V / 60Hz compatibility before you order.

What texture does your market ask for?

Tell us the target texture and your daily volume, and we will specify the line and screw configuration.
