Grape Molasses (Shireh Angoor) Production Line and Factory Setup

A grape molasses (Shireh Angoor) production line is an integrated industrial system designed to wash, crush, press, filter, concentrate and pasteurize grape juice into traditional thick molasses under controlled hygienic conditions. The line produces authentic grape molasses with characteristic color, sweetness and concentration.

From an industrial perspective, grape molasses manufacturing is important because it combines thorough washing, efficient crushing and pressing, filtration and controlled concentration in cooking tanks to achieve the desired Brix, color retention and shelf life. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered and integrated.

Primary raw materials typically include fresh grapes. Core machinery consists of washing tanks with high-pressure nozzles (500–1000 kg/h), crushers (400–800 kg/h), hydraulic presses (300–600 L/h), filters, cooking tanks (500–2000 L), pasteurizers and filling machines. Typical capacity 500–2000 L/day.

The Industrial Department supports investors establishing a new grape molasses factory as well as existing plant owners requiring repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that needs technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey grape molasses plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The grape molasses production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering washing, crushing, pressing, filtration, concentration, pasteurization and packaging. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically range from 500 to 2000 L/day depending on final product mix and market requirements.

Product types include traditional grape molasses of various concentration levels. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: washing and cleaning of grapes, crushing, juice extraction by hydraulic press, filtration, concentration in cooking tanks, pasteurization and packaging.

Main machinery groups include washing tanks, crushers, hydraulic presses, filters, cooking tanks, pasteurizers and filling machines. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, steam or gas and process water.

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation. Quality control covers juice yield, final Brix, color, acidity and packaging integrity. Finished molasses is stored under cool conditions before distribution.

Products

An industrial grape molasses production line can manufacture traditional Shireh Angoor of various concentration levels and pack sizes according to market requirements.

Raw Materials for Grape Molasses Factory

Raw material selection and quality control are critical for yield, color and flavor. The main materials used are described below.

Main Raw Materials

  • Fresh grapes – Quality of incoming fruit (ripeness, defect rate) directly influences juice yield and final molasses quality.

Secondary / Optional Materials

  • Packaging materials

Storage and handling conditions must be controlled to preserve fruit quality before processing.

Manufacturing Process

The industrial grape molasses process follows a defined sequence of unit operations.

  1. Washing – Grapes are washed in a washing tank with high-pressure nozzles to remove dirt, leaves and contaminants.
  2. Crushing – Washed grapes are crushed to release juice.
  3. Pressing – Crushed grapes are pressed in a hydraulic press to extract juice.
  4. Filtration – Juice is filtered to remove suspended particles.
  5. Concentration – Juice is concentrated in a cooking tank to the desired Brix.
  6. Pasteurization – Concentrate is thermally treated for food safety.
  7. Packaging – Finished molasses is filled into containers.
