Category: Aseptic Processing, Juice Extraction & Centrifugation Equipment

Under HDFC Parivartan CSR Project P1554

Supply, installation and commissioning of a 200 kg/hr aseptic processing plant, screw press juice extraction unit and dual-mode decanter centrifuge.

ISAP India Foundation invites Expressions of Interest / Tenders from reputed, experienced manufacturers and authorized dealers of fruit processing machinery for the supply, installation and commissioning of core fruit processing equipment, comprising an aseptic processing line, a juice extraction unit and a centrifugal separation unit, for deployment at the project site in Kulgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Bidders should offer complete, factory-tested equipment covering all mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and control elements described below, along with commissioning, training and after-sales support. The vendor shall be responsible for the following, on a turnkey basis: Design, fabrication, supply, installation and commissioning of an Aseptic Processing Plant of 200 kg/hr output capacity, capable of aseptic filling of fruit pulp. Supply and integration of a Screw Press juice extraction unit (200 kg/hr input), yielding juice with dried pomace as a co-product. Supply and integration of a Decanter Centrifuge (dual-mode: juice / pulp clarification). On-site installation, commissioning and trial runs. Operator training and after-sales technical support. Provision of complete documentation: process flow diagrams, equipment manuals, electrical drawings and O&M manuals. Bidders must offer equipment meeting or exceeding the following specifications. Deviations, or superior alternative approaches, should be clearly stated and justified in the technical bid. 3.1 Aseptic Processing Plant – 200 kg/hr Output Capacity Fabricated SS304 skid with integrated CIP station, complete hygienic piping, fittings, valves and operator/emergency-stop stations. Washing, lifting conveyor and crushing/pulping section: fruit washing, high-speed crusher, and single-pass pulper with SS304 buffer tank. Storage tanks feeding a sterilizer, sized up to 200 kg/hr, with a shell-and-tube cooling heat exchanger and cooling tower. Aseptic packaging unit: pneumatically actuated filler enclosed in a steam-sterilized SS304 chamber. CIP system: dedicated water/caustic/acid tanks, piping and a high-pressure CIP pump for full-line cleaning. Instrumentation and process control: PLC-based system with HMI, temperature/pressure sensors across key stages, and dual operator stations. Electrical power system: VFD and contactor-controlled motors, complete panel assembly, wiring and testing. 3.2 Screw Press – Juice Extraction (200 kg/hr Input) Single-screw extraction unit with sieve, low-speed high-torque gearbox for high juice yield, chain and belt driven moving parts. SS304 construction with reinforced perforated screens; pneumatic pusher for yield control. Includes a geared product pump and an SS304 holding tank for downstream transfer. Delivers juice with dried pomace as a usable co-product. 3.3 Decanter Centrifuge – Dual-Mode (Juice / Pulp) SS304 construction, with separate solid and liquid discharge ports, and a differential-mechanism screw conveyor and drum. Operable in dual mode (juice clarification or pulp clarification) as required by the production line. Includes a dedicated SS304 buffer tank and positive-displacement product pump, trolley-mounted. The following will be arranged at the project site to enable installation and operation. The site is shared with other phases of the project. Bidders should factor these into their installation planning and confirm any additional site requirements in their proposal. 4.1 Utility Requirements 4.2 Civil Construction Requirements 10,000 sq ft of covered structure (permanent or temporary; puff panel/tin sheet construction acceptable). Smooth flooring with no crevices where dirt can accumulate. Single-side floor slant for efficient drainage of cleaning water. If installed at a farm location, the surrounding area is to be kept clean and free of animals or foul-smelling storage. Bidders must confirm their ability to meet, or better, the following timeline in their technical proposal: Bidders must also specify their FAT process, remote installation support availability (if any), and the content of their standard training/O&M manual package. 6.1 Warranty Minimum warranty of 1 year for mechanical parts and 9 months for electrical components, from the date of commissioning. Warranty must cover free service for replacement/repair of defective parts. Bidders should clearly state exclusions (e.g., damage due to misuse, accidents or unauthorized modification). 6.2 Annual Maintenance Contract Bidders must quote AMC terms separately, covering at minimum 1 preventive maintenance visit per year and breakdown support (on-call or on-site, minimum 2 visits per year). Interested parties should submit their technical proposals, including: Detailed technical specifications and product brochures for each major sub-system listed in Section 3. Item-wise, GST-inclusive financial quotation. Company registration and GST details. Company MSME details. Copy of valid ISO 9001 certification (and ZED certification, if held). Evidence of past experience in similar fruit processing installations (e.g., site photos/videos). Proposed order-to-commissioning timeline, referencing Section 5. Warranty and AMC terms, referencing Section 6. Any deviations from the technical specifications in Section 3, clearly flagged and justified. Interested parties submit their quotes/bid to [contact details removed] and Mr. Kush Mehndiratta, Mobile: [contact details removed] before 05:00 PM on 10th October, 2026. Late or incomplete submissions may not be considered.
