Clarify, depulp, and deoiling citrus & tropical juices with high yield, vivid flavour, and minimal waste.

Producers of citrus and tropical fruit juices/purées, face challenges such as:

  • High pulp & solids loads that create cloudiness, sediment, or gritty texture.
  • Oxidation & aroma loss caused by poor separation or excess air contact.
  • Product losses & lower yield during depulping/clarification.
  • High energy use & frequent cleaning due to inefficient equipment.
  • Inconsistent quality across batches or harvest seasons.

These factors increase costs, reduce consumer appeal, and slow production.

Our Solution:

We supply Alfa Laval separators tailored to citrus and tropical fruit processing:

  • PurePulpâ„¢ Series – continuous de-pulping centrifuges for juices with high solids content. Equipped with Hermetic Designâ„¢ to prevent oxidation and TopStreamâ„¢ solids discharge for continuous pulp handling and high yield.
  • Claraâ„¢ Series; disc-stack clarifiers for juice polishing, fine particle removal, black speck reduction, and peel oil separation, with sealed/low-oxygen configurations to protect flavour and colour.

All systems are skid-mounted, modular, energy-efficient, CIP-ready, and fully supported by 4B Automation & 4B Systems for installation, monitoring, service, and spare parts.

Key Features / Capabilities

Continuous Depulping & Clarification: 

PurePulp separators provide uninterrupted pulp/solids discharge for high throughput.

Hermetic Design™: 

Airtight operation reduces oxidation, preserving fresh flavour and aroma.

TopStreamâ„¢ Solids Discharge:

Automatically removes high solid loads, minimising cleaning and downtime.

Hygienic & CIP-Compatible:

Food-grade stainless steel, smooth surfaces, and automated CIP for easy cleaning.

Scalable & Modular:

Models like PurePulp 250/450/750 and Clara series cover capacities from small plants to industrial lines.

Energy Efficiency & Low Product Loss:

Efficient disc design reduces power consumption while maximising yield.

Real-Time Monitoring & Automation: 

Inline sensors and PLC/HMI for performance tracking, alarms, and consistency.

Local Support & Maintainability: 

4B Automation & 4B Systems ensures spare parts, service, and diagnostics are accessible.

With Alfa Laval Citrus & Tropical Fruit Separators supplied by 4B Automation & 4B Systems, you will:

  • Deliver clearer, brighter juice with improved stability and fewer solids.
  • Retain more flavour, aroma, and colour thanks to hermetic, low-oxygen designs.
  • Increase yield by reducing juice/product losses in pulp and clarification.
  • Lower energy, cleaning, and maintenance costs.
  • Achieve consistent product quality despite seasonal or fruit variability.
  • Rely on maintainable, scalable systems backed by local support.
