Fruit pulp extraction plays a pivotal role in the global food processing industry, particularly in tropical regions where the mass production and preservation of fruits are essential for economic growth and food security. The design, development, and performance of several fruit pulp extraction machines are examined in this review, which contrasts contemporary automated systems with conventional manual techniques. Significant gain in scalability, efficiency, and hygiene has permitted to shift towards mechanical extraction, which enables the system to cater to the requirement of commercial expectations. The key challenges encountered in the design of machines, such as power constraints, maintenance related issues and the capacity to process a wide variety of fruits, are discussed. Moreover, this study emphasizes the need to choose suitable materials for machine building to guarantee food safety, keep cost-effectiveness, and preserve economy. To overcome current constraints, the food processing machinery must be integrated with automation enabled with energy saving technology. In the fruit processing sector, continuous improvements in fruit pulp extraction techniques are essential to lower post-harvest losses, increasing efficiency and promoting sustainability.
