Fruit processing facility, Manipay, Sri Lanka.

Stainless steel container to steam heat fruit slices.

Boiler to produce steam under pressure.

Fruit mincer - steam heated.

I went to visit this fruit processing facility in Manipay. The plentiful supply of fruits in the Jaffna Peninsula had prompted the opening of a fruit-processing facility in 1956. Now it is equipped with uptodate stainless steel machinery. The factory owners were awaiting inspection for ISO certification on the day I visited this site in December 2012.
