Avocado processing plant for puree and oil extraction
When producing avocado puree or extracting oil, the initial steps often involve challenges like effectively washing, destoning, and refining large quantities of fruit. High-quality yield and efficient processing are critical to ensure the purity and quality of the avocado products.
Efficiently wash, destone, and refine avocados
The avocado processing plant from Bertuzzi is specifically designed to tackle the challenges of washing, destoning, and refining avocados for puree and oil extraction. The process begins with the InoxAll washer, which immerses the avocados in water and uses a Jet System to clean the surface. The fruits are then rinsed with fresh water during their transport to sorting. The Super Avocado Destoner and Jumbo Avocado Destoner offer precise separation of stones and peels from the pulp, achieving up to 85% separation efficiency. This maximizes yield and quality. The unrefined pulp can be directed either to an oil extraction line or to the SuperCreamer or JumboCreamer pulping machines for further refining. These pulpers ensure a low degree of air absorption and oxidation, using a nitrogen blanket if required, to maintain the quality of the final product. Bertuzzi, known for its specialization in fruit processing equipment, ensures that each step is optimized for efficiency and effectiveness.
