FEATURES DETAILS

Advanced Centrifugation Technology

The high-speed centrifugation system generates a centrifugal force of up to 15,000 xg, ensuring efficient separation of even the finest particles. The closed bowl and automatic sludge ejection system guarantee continuous clarification without production interruptions, with extended operating time.

Airtight Anti-oxidation Process

The completely airtight design eliminates all contact with atmospheric oxygen, preserving the natural color, aromas, and vitamins of the juices. This system is particularly crucial for fruits sensitive to oxidation, such as apples, pears, and tropical fruits.

Automation and Quality Control

The PLC control system with a touchscreen HMI interface allows for precise adjustment of all operating parameters. Online turbidity sensors continuously monitor clarification quality, enabling automatic adjustments to maintain optimal gloss in the final product.

Areas of application

Our clarification system is suitable for various applications in the juice and beverage industry:

Clear apple juice - Perfect clarification for transparent juices
Citrus juice - Removal of pulp and suspended particles
Tropical juices - Mango, pineapple, passion fruit, guava
Nectars and smoothies - Precise turbidity control
Plant-based drinks - Almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, rice milk

Advantages of advanced clarification

Superior product quality

Advanced clarification effectively removes impurities while preserving natural aromas and nutritional compounds. The result is a juice with exceptional brilliance, extended shelf life, and a professional appearance.

Operational efficiency

The system operates continuously with automatic discharges, reducing production downtime and labor requirements. Extended autonomy allows for longer production cycles and increased productivity.

Versatility and adaptability

The modular design allows for quick adaptation to different fruit types and required turbidity levels. The system can be configured to produce both perfectly clear juices and slightly cloudy products, depending on market preferences.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

Expert questions on juice clarification systems and advanced separation technologies

Centrifugation uses centrifugal force (up to 15,000 x g) to separate particles based on density differences, making it ideal for suspended solids and heavy colloids. Tangential flow filtration uses porous membranes that retain particles while allowing liquid to pass through, making it more efficient for small molecules and fine colloids. Centrifugation offers higher throughput and simplified maintenance, while tangential flow filtration provides more thorough clarification but requires more frequent membrane cleaning.

Optimization depends on the juice composition: for apple juices rich in pectin, pre-treatment with enzymes is recommended; for citrus fruits with high pulp content, a reduced rotation speed (6,000–8,000 rpm) with frequent discharges is recommended; for delicate tropical juices, processing in a controlled atmosphere prevents oxidation. The ideal inlet temperature is between 15–25°C to maximize separation while preserving volatile aromas. Adjusting the pH to between 3.5 and 4.2 can improve colloid agglomeration.

The airtight system eliminates all contact with atmospheric oxygen, reducing oxidation by 85-95% and thus preserving the natural color, fresh aromas, and vitamin content (especially vitamin C). This protection allows for extended storage without any alteration in taste, significantly reduces enzymatic browning, and maintains the desired turbidity without the development of oxidized flavors. For delicate juices such as pear or peach, this can increase shelf life by 30-40%.

Discharging too frequently reduces autonomy and increases product loss (up to 3-5%), while discharging too infrequently can lead to clogging and a 15-25% decrease in clarification efficiency. The optimal frequency depends on the solids content: for very cloudy juices (tomato, mango), discharges every 15-30 minutes; for clear juices (apple, grape), every 2-4 hours. Automatic systems adjust the frequency based on differential pressure and turbidity measured online.

Apple and grape juices benefit particularly from this process, achieving the crystal-clear appearance demanded by the premium market. Tropical juices (mango, passion fruit, guava) experience a drastic reduction in sedimentation and improved stability. Citrus fruits (orange, grapefruit) maintain their natural balance between pulp and clarity. Nectars and smoothies achieve a homogeneous texture without phase separation. Plant-based drinks (almond, oat) reach perfect whiteness without residual particles.
