Two-stage defect removal system for citrus juice

In the production of citrus juices, achieving a clean, pulpy juice stream free from defects is critical. Traditional single-stage systems often fall short in yield and defect reduction, necessitating more advanced solutions to meet production standards.

Increase yields and reduce defects

The READYGo™ CYCLONE from JBT is a self-contained, two-stage defect removal system designed for citrus juice processing. It utilizes a second stage underflow recycle process, where the underflow from the second stage cyclones is recycled back to the first stage. This double cycloning technique provides increased yields and higher defect reduction. The system can process up to 110 gallons per minute (25,000 liters per hour) of raw juice. The system is designed to simplify operations with automated tank levels and juice flow rates, reducing complexity in the production process.

Benefits

  • Higher juice yield due to double cycloning
  • Lower defect rate in the final juice product
  • Handles up to 110 gallons per minute
  • Simplifies operation with automated controls
  • Suitable for various citrus fruit varieties
