FIL diversified from “Crop Protection” to “Crop Processing” and the consumer division was set up which is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and export of fruit juice concentrate.
The geographical advantage of the location of our manufacturing unit in Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir near the fruit growing areas is the availability of a diverse range of fruits, which further helps us source the best quality fruits for processing. This, together with the modern state-of-art technology from Austria installed in our manufacturing unit has allowed us to reach the highest quality standards. The manufacturing unit in Srinagar is India’s largest fruit juice concentrate unit and the plant is well equipped to manufacture concentrates for fruits like apple, pears, cherry, apricot and plum.
The plant is a hallmark of technological excellence, commissioned with state of the art advanced machinery procured from the best sources worldwide. The salient features of the plant include:
- A Bellmer double wrinkle fruit press from Germany with a crushing capacity of 20 MT per hour.
- India’s first Ultrafiltration Plant from PCI Membrane of United Kingdom.
- A separate aroma recovery unit from Schmidt Bretten of Germany that extracts the aroma of each fruit in order to restore the original flavor to the end product.
