Industrial depitter for stone fruits
Effortlessly process stone fruits into smooth purees and nectars with a continuous, cold extraction system that ensures high yield and quality, eliminating the need for mechanical adjustments with size or ripeness changes.
Destones and Purees Fruits for Cold Extraction
The PTCX Turbo Depitter by Bertocchi Srl is a robust solution for processing peaches and apricots into premium purees and nectars. This equipment is designed for continuous operation, utilizing a cold extraction process that preserves the natural flavors and nutrients of the fruit. Capable of handling up to 15 tons per hour, the PTCX ensures efficient destoning with its integrated Rotopulse® softening section, effectively preparing fruit without mechanical adjustments for varying fruit sizes and conditions. This minimizes downtime and reduces maintenance, making it ideal for juice manufacturers and puree production facilities.
Operating as both a depitter and a puree processor, the machine seamlessly integrates into pre-processing and processing lines, ideal for baby food and juice production. It excels in energy efficiency by eliminating the need for traditional drum-style destoners, and its continuous operation boosts productivity. Constructed from high-grade materials suited for the food industry, the PTCX maintains hygienic standards and is easy to clean, supporting safe and efficient industrial applications.
