Pneumatically controlled dosing slide for pome fruit silos
Ensure consistent and controlled fruit discharge in your processing line, optimizing your flushing operations and preventing fruit damage with efficient pneumatic control.
Controls Fruit Discharge into Flushing Channels
The Dosing Slide from Bucher Unipektin is designed for precise management of pome fruit discharge in processing facilities. This robust equipment isolates fruit silos from flushing channels, enabling an even, controlled release of apples and pears for juice, puree, and cider production. The pneumatically activated slide valve ensures seamless integration with existing systems and features adjustable end positions, allowing for tailored discharge rates. Mounted directly at silo outlets, it minimizes fruit damage while maintaining water circulation when closed. The customizable timing of the slide’s pneumatic drive optimizes throughput and reduces processing time. Fabricated from durable materials, the Dosing Slide is engineered to withstand rigorous use while maintaining low maintenance demands, making it a reliable choice for beverage and food manufacturers focused on efficiency and product integrity.
