Roller table for sorting and cleaning pome fruit

Ensure thorough inspection and cleaning of pome fruits with rotating rollers that facilitate manual sorting and automatic dirt removal, optimizing your production line.

Sorts and Cleans Pome Fruits Efficiently

The Roller Table 600 x 2500 and Roller Table 800 x 3500 from Bucher Unipektin are designed to enhance pome fruit processing with precise sorting and cleaning. These tables utilize rotating, gripped rollers to allow for a full inspection of the fruit surface, ensuring only high-quality fruits proceed in the production line.

Operationally, the equipment integrates seamlessly into food and beverage plants handling products like apple slices, pear puree, and cider. It offers a manual yet continuous processing capability with variable-speed control, catering to a throughput of 4-40 tons per hour depending on the model. The Roller Table’s design includes integrated cleaning nozzles and rinseable trays that manage dirt disposal efficiently, minimizing downtime.

Engineered for durability and ease of use, the equipment operates at an ergonomic height, promoting a straightforward manual inspection process for operators. The construction supports optimal material flow, allowing for the effective elimination of contaminants through a convenient waste collection system. Its versatility in handling various fruit sizes makes it ideal for both small-scale producers and large agricultural cooperatives.
