UCF110 & UCF210 Screw Finishers

Our extremely flexible UCF110 and UCF210 Screw Finishers work to efficiently separate liquid and solid materials by means of filtration. Incoming product is moved along the finishers via continuous screw. With our models, you maximize all sanitation procedures, while also reducing floor space.  UCF110 and UCF210 Screw Finishers are ready for a full range of citrus processing, including juice finishing (separating juice from pulp), oil finishing (separating frit from the oil: water emulsion), recovery of soluble solids (pulp or core wash) core wash and pulp packaging.

Features & Benefits

  • Continuous process with minimal intervention from the operator
  • Use of centrifugal force with rotating screw makes the process very efficient and simple
  • Very flexible; several speed and pressure options dependent on the chosen juice quality specifications
  • Maximum sanitation and reduced floor space
  • Higher efficiency resulting in the highest yield in the industry 
  • Automated screen cleaning and easy access to valves and gauges for maintenance
  • Reduced down time due to our unique pneumatically-actuated dual spray ring system

Quick Fiber Device

Our Quick Fiber Device stands as a valuable laboratory apparatus for every citrus juice operation, designed to consistently produce screened pulp and Quick Fiber determinations. The device takes the guesswork out of testing for the amount of pulp particles in juice or testing the relative dryness of finisher pomace. 

Features & Benefits

  • Quiet process
  • Precise results
  • Convenient to operate
  • Easy to clean and operate
  • Full recovery of liquid is possible

Details

  • Includes a timer, which can be conveniently placed on the wall
  • Vibration-free operation accomplished by a heavy cast base and a counterbalanced eccentric
  • The quick fiber device operates on juices with fibers such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit, etc.

PulpView™ Analyzer

The revolutionary, patented PulpView laboratory pulp saturation analyzer replaces the quick fiber shaker commonly used to determine the dryness of finished citrus pulp. The PulpView analyzer measures the dryness of saturated pulp in the range of 300 g/l to 800 g/l and replaces a variety of shaking screen tests currently used in the citrus industry. All PulpView analyzers can be calibrated to accurately reflect the dryness of different kinds of pulp and different kinds of finishing processes.

Features & Benefits

  • Rapid analysis results in significant labor savings per season in comparison to traditional quick fiber and packaged pulp tests
  • Improved accuracy and repeatability over quick fiber testing
  • Reduces variability of packaged pulp concentration to ± 50 g/l
  • Electronic display of the Saturation Index reduces errors in transcribing results
  • No moving parts, easy to use, and several usage options
  • Maintenance costs are reduced as there are no screens to replace or maintenance required for the device

Details

  • The PulpView analyzer has a variety of uses in citrus processing including:
  • Determining quick fiber for finisher adjustment
  • Regulating final aseptically packaged pulp concentration
  • Controlling pulp pasteurizers to determine final frozen packaged pulp concentration

Tenderometer

Our Tenderometer is designed to give high precision outcomes in the comparative measurement of the hardness and ripeness of fresh or scalded products, particularly peas, beans, broad beans, and legumes; ripeness is also used for legume price determination at source.

Features & Benefits

  • High working capacity: up to 40 tests/hour
  • Simple and quick calibration values restoration
  • Full automation permits high accuracy processes
  • Double CIP system is controlled by microprocessor
  • Arithmetic mean function for up to the last 20 outcomes
  • Unidirectional RS 232 interface for data transmission to a remote computer

Details

  • Our Tenderometer measures the hardness and ripeness of fresh and scalded products such as peas, beans, broad beans, and legumes
