Citrus sizer for optimal fruit sizing
In citrus processing facilities, ensuring consistent fruit sizes is crucial for quality control and meeting market standards. Manual sizing is labor-intensive and prone to inaccuracies, leading to inefficiencies in the production line.
Efficiently sizes citrus fruits with precision rollers
The Citrus Sizer by Bucher Unipektin is designed for fast in-line sizing of citrus fruits using independent inclined rails and adjustable motorized rollers. The continuous rotation mechanism ensures each fruit is sized accurately. Fruits are transported on an inclined belt that supports them onto the independently calibrated rollers. It features a precise adjustment system for each calibration level, which is done electrically. The sizer includes a fruit receiving hopper at the input and a distributor. The calibration rollers and bearings are made of stainless steel, ensuring durability and hygiene. Available in configurations with 6, 8, or 10 calibration tracks, it can handle fruits ranging from 2 to 5 inches in size. The structure and contact parts are made entirely of stainless steel, and it operates with a power requirement of 5 kW to 8 kW.
