Paddle finishers for fruit and vegetable processing
In industrial fruit and vegetable processing, achieving efficient separation of juice from pulp and oil from emulsions is essential. Traditional methods often struggle with diverse fruit and vegetable varieties, necessitating a more effective solution.

Separate juice and oil efficiently
The UPF100 and UPF200 Finishers by JBT are advanced paddle finishers designed for a wide range of fruit and vegetable processing tasks. With multiple filter size options, these finishers maximize the ability to meet various end-product requirements. They are capable of juice finishing, where juice is separated from the pulp, and oil finishing, where frit is separated from the oil-water emulsion. Additionally, the finishers facilitate the recovery of soluble solids through pulp wash and core wash, and enable pulp packaging. The paddle mechanism operates similarly to a screw, ensuring consistent performance across different processing tasks. These features make the UPF finishers suitable for diverse applications in the fruit and vegetable, citrus, and tomato processing industries.
