D-limonene extraction system for citrus processing
Enhance your citrus processing capabilities by efficiently extracting and recovering d-Limonene and other valuable citrus oils, maximizing yield and reducing waste in your production line.

Extracts and Recovers Terpenes from Citrus Emulsions
The READYGo d-LIMONENE from JBT is a terpene recovery system designed for chemical and industrial applications, particularly in citrus processing. This system efficiently extracts and recovers terpenes, maximizing d-Limonene yield from oil-bearing emulsions. Operating on a multi-stage extraction process, it achieves higher terpene recovery than traditional methods, handling up to 100 GPM of emulsion with a capacity for 14 extractors. Seamlessly integrating into automated operations, it features a self-contained design with variable speed drives and solenoid valves, facilitating straightforward installation and operation. The system offers energy efficiency by optimizing motor control and is constructed with durable materials suitable for processing citrus oils and juices.
