Pomegranate Paste (Robb-e Anar) Production Line and Factory Setup

A pomegranate paste (Robb-e Anar) production line is an integrated industrial system designed to wash, seed, extract, concentrate and pasteurize pomegranate juice into traditional thick paste under controlled hygienic conditions. The line produces authentic Robb-e Anar with characteristic color, acidity and concentration.

From an industrial perspective, pomegranate paste manufacturing is important because it combines thorough washing, efficient seeding and juice extraction, controlled evaporation in a double-jacket concentrator and pasteurization 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 pomegranates, water, optional salt, citric acid and preservatives. Core machinery consists of fully automatic pomegranate washers with bubble systems, industrial seeders, industrial juice extractors, cooking and steam kettles, double-jacket concentrators (typically 300 L, 110 cm diameter, 32 cm height, 2 hp motor), pasteurizers and packaging machines.

The Industrial Department supports investors establishing a new pomegranate paste 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 pomegranate paste 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 pomegranate paste production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering washing, seeding, juice extraction, heating and seed separation, boiling and concentration in a double-jacket kettle, pasteurization and packaging. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase; the concentrator is typically 300 L capacity.

Product types include traditional Robb-e Anar of various concentration levels. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: automatic washing, industrial seeding, juice extraction, heating and residual seed separation, boiling and concentration, pasteurization and packaging.

Main machinery groups include automatic washers with bubble systems, industrial seeders, juice extractors, cooking kettles, double-jacket concentrators (300 L), pasteurizers and packaging machines. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, gas and process water.

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

Raw Materials for Pomegranate Paste Factory

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

Main Raw Materials

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

Secondary / Optional Materials

Salt, citric acid, preservatives
Packaging materials

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

Manufacturing Process

The industrial pomegranate paste process follows a defined sequence of unit operations.

Washing – Pomegranates are washed in a fully automatic washer equipped with bubble system to remove dirt, insect eggs and dust.
Seeding – Washed fruit is processed in an industrial seeder that separates arils with high accuracy.
Juice Extraction – Arils are pressed in an industrial juice extractor.
Heating and Seed Separation – Juice is heated and remaining seeds are removed.
Boiling and Concentration – Juice is boiled and concentrated in a double-jacket concentrator (typically 300 L) under controlled temperature until the desired consistency is reached.
Pasteurization – Concentrate is thermally treated.
Packaging – Finished paste is packaged.
