Automatic chemical mixing system for postharvest treatment
Achieve precise chemical dosing and mixing for postharvest treatments, ensuring consistent application quality and reducing manual handling errors, with a system that seamlessly integrates into your production line.
Dispenses and Mixes Chemicals for Postharvest Treatment
The PRoDOSE™ Automatic Chemical Mixing System from JBT is designed to revolutionize postharvest chemical application for fresh produce processors. This system accurately dispenses and mixes up to three different chemicals directly into process lines, eliminating the need for manual mixing or large tanks. With servo-driven electric motors, it ensures precise dosing within +/- 1 mL, and accommodates a range of chemical viscosities. Ideal for applications involving salad greens and fresh-cut fruits, it integrates seamlessly into continuous production lines, supported by a user-friendly HMI touch screen for monitoring and adjustments. Engineered for reliability, the PRoDOSE™ system includes quick-disconnects for ease of maintenance and is expandable to handle up to twelve different chemicals across multiple units, making it an adaptable solution for diverse postharvest treatment needs.
