Modular oil recovery extractor for citrus essential oils
Achieving high-quality essential oil extraction from citrus fruits requires an advanced system capable of optimizing yield and ensuring a cleaner final product. Traditional methods often fall short in efficiency and adaptability to varying fruit conditions.

Optimizes extraction process and increases yield
The MORE 4.0 (Modular Oil Recovery Extractor) by JBT is designed to enhance the primary extraction of essential oils from citrus fruits. It produces a lighter and cleaner oil emulsion for maximum yield. Operators can adjust the system electronically to accommodate fruit flow, conditions, and specific characteristics. Networked sensors and instrumentation provide precise control over flow and surge bin levels, while real-time weight control ensures accurate yield monitoring. Local and remote configuration capabilities enable quick support responses through intelligent alarms reported directly to the HMI and iOPS gateway. The inclusion of recipes and data logging of the main process variables also support operational efficiency. The system is iOPS-ready, providing a cloud-based performance optimization platform accessible via any internet browser. The MORE 4.0 can process 4-16 MT/hour of lemons and 8-30 MT/hour of oranges with its self-contained two-stage defect removal system consisting of 10 modules, 40 rollers, and 42,000 discs.
