Transport screw conveyor for pomace

Efficiently convey and discharge fruit pomace with a transport screw conveyor designed to handle inclined angles, ensuring seamless integration into your processing line while minimizing residue.

Conveys and Discharges Pomace Efficiently

The Transport Screw Conveyor 400 and 500 from Bucher Unipektin are engineered for efficient handling of fruit and pomace in food, beverage, and agricultural industries. Featuring a U–trough screw design, these conveyors effectively move material at an inclination up to 30°, supported by a powerful gear motor and chain pulley system. Constructed in stainless steel (DIN 1.4301, AISI 304), they offer robust corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

With screw diameters of 400mm and 500mm respectively, these units deliver a processing capacity of up to 75m³/h and 125m³/h at 30° inclination, offering reliable throughput for continuous operations. Integrated automatic cleaning features, such as rinseable trays and nozzles, ensure minimal maintenance downtime. These conveyors are suited for seamless integration into existing processing lines, equipped with variable designs and optional outlet gates for tailored solutions in pomace and fruit pulp management.
