🏭 Overview of the Cucumber Canning Solution

The Cucumber Canned Production Line is specially engineered for producing pickled and preserved cucumber cans or jars in different packaging formats.
Whether you’re producing tin-can pickled cucumbers, glass-jar gherkins, or PET-bottle pickles, the line can be customized according to your raw material characteristics and factory layout.

Our systems feature:

• Full stainless-steel structure (SUS304/316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance

• PLC automatic control system for easy operation

• Modular design for flexible assembly and easy maintenance

• Compatible with both metal cans and glass jars

• Adjustable production capacity: from 500 to 10,000 cans per hour

🔁 Cucumber Canning Process Flow

1. Raw Material Washing and Sorting
   High-pressure bubble washer removes mud, sand, and impurities. Vibrating screen and grading system ensure cucumbers are uniform in size.

2. Trimming and Cutting (Optional)
   Optional cutting system trims cucumber ends or slices them for specific product types.

3. Blanching and Cooling
   Thermal blanching helps retain color and crispness. Cooling section prevents overcooking.

4. Brining and Filling
   Automatic brine-filling machine adds cucumbers and brine precisely into each can or jar. The filling amount and salt concentration are adjustable.

5. Can Seaming or Jar Capping
   Vacuum seamer or automatic capping machine ensures perfect sealing, preventing air entry and leakage.

6. Sterilization (Retort)
   Continuous or batch-type sterilizers ensure microbial safety and long shelf life.

7. Cooling, Drying, and Labeling
   Rapid cooling system prevents texture damage. Drying and labeling systems prepare the final retail packaging.
