Grinding mill for apples and pears
Optimize juice yield with tailored grinding for a variety of fruits and vegetables, ensuring superior mash consistency for efficient extraction and minimal oxidation.

Mills Fruits and Vegetables for Juice Extraction
The CM50 Grinding Mill from Bucher Unipektin is designed specifically for the efficient milling of fruits and vegetables, optimizing the juice extraction process essential for NFC cloudy juice production. This grinding mill features a unique disc mechanism with star-like grinding knives, ensuring even particle separation through high-speed rotation. The device allows adjustable particle size through variable speed control and discharge slot adjustment, making it suitable for a range of end-products such as apple and carrot juices as well as berry and vegetable mash.
With a throughput capacity of up to 50 tons per hour for apples and up to 12 tons per hour for carrots, it is ideal for high-volume operations. The machine is integrated with dual motors and frequency converters, controllable via a stainless steel PLC system and touch screen for seamless automation.
Constructed for durability and long-term use, maintenance is straightforward due to its pivoting grinding tool mechanism, enabling easy access for knife replacement. Weighing 700 kg, the CM50 is compact while providing robust grinding capabilities. Its design not only enhances juice yield but also reduces oxidation during processing, making it an indispensable asset for juice manufacturers and food processing facilities focused on high-quality production lines.
