Northeast is one of the largest producers of pineapples in India. There are many small fruit processing units located across different northeastern states that process pineapples during peak harvest season. However, most of these units are very small and are engaged in preparing the juice and juice-related items rather than canning pineapple slices. Preparation of juice-related items could be carried with a small capital and space infrastructure. The process of extracting juice starts with peeling the fruit followed by chopping them into small chunks. These chunks are then pulped in a machine, put inside a cloth-like material, and pressed using a hydraulic press. The whole process is so tedious and time-consuming that it is considered a major bottleneck in the smooth operational flow. The paper elaborates on the various aspects related to juice extraction processes. The paper, then, discusses the process of designing an effective equipment for making the overall process of juice preparation easier. The paper concludes with a brief discussion on the subjective and objective assessment of the proof of concept of and the future scope of the research. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
