JBT Corp lands juice processing project in Dubai

JBT FoodTech business has signed two contracts with Aujan Industries Co. (Aujan) for a total of €6.1 million ($8 million).

Aujan is one of the largest privately owned beverage and confectionery company in the Middle East.

JBT FoodTech will provide two complete high-speed lines to process Aujan's beverage recipe of smooth juice with real fruit pieces.

The solution will enable the unloading of citrus pulp cells; the dosing and mixing of both intact pulp cells and juice at constant ratios; the pasteurization of the pulpy fruit beverage; and the filling into retail containers.

The order was received late in the fourth quarter of 2010 with the project currently scheduled to be operational in the third quarter of 2011.
