Screw finishers for citrus processing
Optimize your production line with screw finishers designed to efficiently separate liquids from solids, enhancing throughput and maintaining high-quality standards in juice and puree processing.
Efficiently Separates Liquids and Solids
The UCF110 & UCF210 Screw Finishers from JBT are engineered to streamline the separation of liquids and solids in citrus, fruit, and vegetable processing. Utilizing a continuous screw mechanism, these finishers efficiently filter and separate materials, ideal for processing orange juice, tomato paste, and a range of fruit and vegetable products. With configurable speed and pressure options, they adapt to specific juice quality specifications, resulting in a higher yield. Designed for seamless integration into automated production lines, they feature PLC control for ease of operation and monitoring. These units incorporate an automated screen cleaning system and a pneumatically-actuated dual spray ring, minimizing downtime and maintenance efforts. Built with maximum sanitation in mind, they occupy reduced floor space, making them suitable for facilities prioritizing hygiene and efficiency. Available with stainless steel options, they are designed to resist corrosion, ensuring longevity and compliance with industry standards.
