Two-stage defect removal system for citrus juice
Ensure your juice production achieves maximum yield and purity with a two-stage system that effectively reduces defects by recycling underflow, streamlining your processing line for superior quality beverages.
Removes Defects and Concentrates Juice Efficiently
The READYGo™ CYCLONE from JBT is a two-stage defect removal and juice concentration system designed for fruit and beverage processors seeking enhanced purity and efficiency. This skid system employs double cyclone technology with a second stage underflow recycle process to optimize defect removal and concentrate yields. Suitable for citrus and a variety of fruits and vegetables, it produces clean juice streams ready for pasteurization or sterilization. With a capacity to process up to 110 GPM (25,000 l/h), the system supports continuous, automated operations, integrating seamlessly into existing production lines. Automation of tank levels and juice flow rates reduces complexity, while the precision-engineered components ensure reliable performance. The equipment is constructed with materials suited for food processing, ensuring safety and hygiene, with minimal maintenance requirements.
