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.
