- Three Lines of raw materials primary processing of total output 20 ton per hour, and groups of equipment for juice processing and its ultra-filtration.
- Line of juice processing and storage in aseptic containers.
- Ascending Film evaporator for juice concentrating.
- Line of aseptic filling of concentrated juice in large tare of Aseptic Bags type, volume 220 L.
- Two Lines of Spreading Capacity in Glass Bottles, volume 1 L, 0.75 L 0.33 L and 0.25 L, pasteurizations and packing in cardboard boxes and shrinkable film.
- Equipment Kit for Tannin extract production from Pomegranate Skin.
- 1100 m2 Cold Storage rooms for concentrated juice at -18°C and fresh fruit at +5°C – -2°C
- Jam and Confiture Production Sector.
Our Quality
Pomegranate juice Grante is awarded with a gold medal «Innovations in the product structure» at the contest «Innovative product Prodexpo 2009».
Basic difference of AZNAR production to compare with any similar production is the unconditional priority of preservation of physiologically active materials, nutritious and organoleptic properties of pomegranate juice, at strict observance of sanitary-and-hygienic norms and raw materials screening.
These facts confirm the highest quality of the AZNAR Factory production:
- The factory accepts processing for only the whole, intact fruits of special pomegranates varieties from the Bygyr area, manually sorted on a conveyor.
- The factory process equipment is made of Stainless Aisi 304 Steel Grade and the parts contacting juice - Aisi 316 Steel Grade materials.
- Air-operated membranous presses are used for juice extraction at moderate mode (from mild-pressed seeds), not screw extruders (juice extraction through seeds re-pulping) typically used at other factories.
- A closed-circuit process scheme with a minimum air contact prevents any oxidation processes.
- The product is subjected to an exclusively mild high temperature treatment with pasteurizers applied (up to 100 °C), a tunnel type is used instead of sterilizers (over 100 °C).
- An ultra-filtration plant is used for filtration, instead of generally applied open air plate or precoat filters.
- After pasteurization, fresh juice is stored in 50 m3 stainless steel aseptic containers (3750 tons of one-time storage), unlike all other factories where various conserving agents are applied for juice storage in serial containers.
The AZNAR Factory laboratory is an important element of the factory quality management system: it provides complex chemical, technical and bacteriological control of production. The laboratory is equipped with the most advanced equipment and consists of three basic sections:
- test section (controls product organoleptic parameters)
- chemical section (chemical analysis and control)
- microbiological section includes a seeding chamber and thermostatic holding.

Our People
The main value of our factory are the people, whose test for the Geaokchai pomegranates and thorough knowledge of profession mean not less, than the advanced equipment. The core of the factory personnel are the people working from the date of its establishment: these experts know everything about the pomegranate and its processing. Heads of main divisions and shops, as well as many technical experts have more than a quarter-century experience at our enterprise.
With no exception, every factory employee is raising his qualification and trying hard to provide the consumer with a fresh pomegranate juice as if he has squeeze the pomegranate with his own hands - pure, tasty and rich of health.
New product of wasteless technology of pomegranate complex processing by company «AZNAR» has been presented. Innovation nanotechnology applied with the conveyor format in production has given permission for buying the first industrial party. This technology allows using the wastes of pomegranate juice in pharmacology and food industry on a industry scale for the first time in the world.
Just the extract and oil is prepared from dry seeds of pomegranate and it is used in skin rejuvenescence and prophylaxis of skin problems – in cosmetology, and in treatment of skin cancer – in medicine.
Tannin is prepared from the shell of pomegranate and used it in oil production, as well as, in skin industry and in medicine.
