Industrial citrus fruit selection, washing, drying, and calibration line
Enhance your fruit processing efficiency with a fully-integrated line that precisely selects, washes, dries, and calibrates a wide range of fruits, ensuring optimal juice and pulp extraction while maintaining product quality and reducing waste.

Processes and Calibrates Fruits for Juice and Pulp Extraction
The Z450 Selection, Washing, Drying, and Calibration Line from Zumex is engineered to streamline fruit and vegetable processing operations. This line efficiently integrates vital processes, including selection with an aluminum roller conveyor, brush washing with independent washing, rinsing, and drying zones, and precise calibration for consistent sizing. Designed for applications such as citrus and tropical fruit juicing, the Z450 ensures that product quality is paramount across end-products like orange, lemon, and grapefruit juices, as well as fruit pulp concentrates. With an IP65 programmable control panel for motor speed regulation and emergency stop functions, the Z450 supports semi-automatic to continuous operations. The equipment features a durable, corrosion-resistant build, with elements like nylon brushes for gentle cleaning. Ideal for juice producers and food processors, it offers customization to fit varied production scales, ensuring seamless integration with existing lines and improved operational efficiency.
