Selects, Washes, Loads, and Prepares Fruit
The Selection, Washing, and Loading Hopper Line Z450 from Zumex offers an integrated solution for juice producers and fruit processing companies. This line uniquely combines aluminum roller conveyors for meticulous fruit selection with a programmable IP65 control panel, enabling precise speed regulation to adapt to production demands. Equipped with a brush washer featuring three independent areas—washing, rinsing, and drying—this equipment efficiently handles citrus fruits, vegetables, and multi-fruit inputs for juice and pulp extraction or essential oil production. The system ensures continuous operation with its adjustable unloading belt and fruit level control via photocell. Designed for seamless integration, the Z450 line optimizes upstream stages of juice processing, promoting operational efficiency and consistency in end-product quality.
