Citrus juice extraction system
Optimize your citrus juice processing with a compact, flexible system that efficiently extracts juice while delivering high-quality output.

Extracts and Processes Citrus Juice Efficiently
The READYGo™ JUICE FAMILY by JBT FoodTech offers compact, skid-mounted citrus juice extraction systems designed specifically for efficient processing of citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and limes. Each system is adaptable, integrating smoothly into existing production lines with capacities ranging from 3 to 18 metric tons per hour, depending on configuration. Engineered for continuous operation, it optimizes space while ensuring high-quality juice extraction. The system is equipped with multiple extractor cup options for flexibility and a straightforward cleanup process via its integrated CIP (clean-in-place) system. Its design ensures seamless delivery of processed juice to either pasteurizers or storage facilities, catering to both short-life products and further processing needs. Constructed from durable materials to withstand rigorous processing environments, it also features PLC control for enhanced automation and remote management capabilities, making it an ideal choice for citrus processors and juice manufacturers aiming to increase efficiency while reducing footprint and operational costs.
