D-limonene extraction system for citrus processing
For industries involved in citrus processing, extracting terpenes such as d-Limonene efficiently and effectively from citrus fruits is crucial. The challenge often lies in maximizing yield while minimizing water use and energy consumption.
Recover more terpenes with less water usage
The READYGo d-LIMONENE from JBT is designed to recover a higher percentage of terpenes from citrus fruits compared to traditional cold-pressed systems. Using less water, it creates a more concentrated oil-bearing emulsion. This system can be seamlessly integrated into fully automated plants, offering a cost-effective solution due to its self-contained nature. Equipped with controls, motor starters, power conditioning, variable speed drives, and solenoid valves, the READYGo d-LIMONENE simplifies installation. It handles up to 100 GPM (23 m³/hr) of emulsion and has the capacity for up to 14 extractors. The system is versatile, capable of processing all types of citrus fruits and producing a clean d-Limonene stream suitable for various chemical and industrial applications.
