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:
- PurePulp™ Series – continuous de-pulping centrifuges for juices with high solids content. Equipped with Hermetic Design™ to prevent oxidation and TopStream™ 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.
