-
Hydraulic Transport System
Hydraulic Transport System
- Crates/bins unloaded via automatic dumper into the transport channel.
- Loose product reception by flooding bins through adjustable pipes.
- Separation from water on inclined grid or roller conveyors, with tomatoes collected in a separation tank.
-
Washing & Sorting
Washing & Sorting
- Manual sorting on roller conveyors: initial separation and washing on an inclined conveyor, followed by detailed inspection on a horizontal conveyor.
- Electronic sorting: optical sorting sensors and digital camera optical sorters by Raytec Vision.
-
Chopping
Chopping
- Rubber-free chopping pump for uniform, fine consistency for washed and sorted tomatoes, optimizing subsequent heat treatment.
- Low synaeresis values (in Hot Break process) with temperatures almost 4°C lower than standard, leading to significant energy savings.
-
Enzyme Inactivation (Hot Break & Warm Break)
