The EP range off destoning machines are manufactured by internationally renowned Voran, suppliers of fruit processing equipment since 1925.
EP destoners are a fast and easy way of processing a variety of stoned fruits, such as plums, cherries, damsons, peaches and apricots, with minimal labour costs. Two models are available:
the EP500 which processes up to 500 kg of fruit per hour
the EP1000, which processes up to 1000 kg per hour
See Application for operating details
Interchangeable perforated screens to suit different types of fruits (See Features)
Application
Operation
Fruit is fed into the hopper, and is transported into the machine by auger
The fruit is then pushed by a rotor with three blades through a perforated screen, and clean stones are ejected
The fruit pulp can be pumped out of the machine for further processing
Features
Screens with different perforation sizes can be used for different fruits:
3mm for cherries
5mm for plums
8mm for apricots
Screens are quickly interchangeable. The incline of the cylinder can also be adjusted to determine the duration that the fruit is in the machine. If desired, an SA elevator can be used to rinse the fruit and feed it into the machine. We also offer a range of eccentric screw pumps to transport the fruit pulp for further processing.
The machine is constructed with stainless steel, and is fully portable.
