Hydraulic press for juice extraction from apples
Optimize juice yield and purity with a robust hydraulic pressing system, ensuring efficient extraction from various fruits and vegetables for high-quality end products.
The HPX Series from Bucher Unipektin, including models HPX 3007, HPX 6007, HPX 7507, and HPX 12007, are hydraulic filter presses engineered for the extraction of high-quality juices and herbal extracts. These units excel in solid-liquid separation through their innovative hydraulic piston cylinder design, featuring up to 180 drainage elements for optimal throughput. Suitable for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, they handle a range of products, including apple, pear, and berry juices, as well as herbal enzyme extracts.
The presses facilitate both batch and continuous operations with precise control, achieving yields of up to 93% from apple pressing, while maintaining low suspended solid content. Equipped with an automated self-optimizing control system, they dynamically adjust pressing parameters for maximum efficiency. These presses feature a significant processing capacity, with the HPX 12007 model able to process up to 18 tons per hour.
Integrating seamlessly into existing production lines, the HPX Series offers robust energy efficiency with connected load requirements ranging from 22 to 58 kW. Constructed with durable materials, these machines are designed for long-term resilience and easy maintenance, supporting your operations with reliable production performance.
