Fruit processing lines
Machines and complete lines for fruit processing designed to preserve the organoleptic features of fresh fruits.
Our technologies for fruit processing help you to achieve unrivaled quality while obtaining the highest possible yield.
Our patented systems for extraction and enzymatic deactivation guarantee optimal production results.
Benefits
Extensive flexibility
Adjustable paddles pitch to adapt to most types of fruits and vegetables.
Rapid inactivation of enzymes
Few seconds from whole fruits to extracted and deactivated puree.
Excellent color
Optimal preservation of color of processed fruits (up to 25% better Hunterlab “L” value compared to peers).
Easy maintenance
Quick paddles replacement, easy and safe rotor extraction. Rotor with reversible direction of rotation to balance wear on paddles.
Rubber-free destoning system
Thanks to the new rubber-free destoning system, there is no traditional rubber roll, granting 100% food compliace and eco-friendly processing.

Fruit skin treatment
Fruit skin treatment
- Adjusted heating (30 seconds to 2 minutes) to draw tannins to the fruit surface.
- Vigorous brushing to remove substances before fruit processing.
- Positive effect on purée yield, especially for fruits like mango.
-
Sorting & Cutting
Sorting & Cutting
Conveyor belts for sorting and manual operations, depending on the type of fruit to be processed:
- Mango: checking for parasites.
- Papaya: rough cutting and removal of seeds.
- Pineapple: cutting of the “crown” and bottom part of the fruit.
- Banana: breaking of the “hands” into individual bananas and peeling.
Some of these operations may be automated.
-
Extraction & Refining
Extraction & Refining
Giubileo extractor and refiner: unique extraction system for each fruit variety for optimal yield and preserving organoleptic characteristics.
Prevents the transfer of undesired substances like peel and seeds to the purée.
- Stone fruits: mill for rubber free destoning.
- Pineapple: special extractor featuring 70% first extraction yield and no need for “class B” juice production. It can also be adapted for papaya purée extraction.
- Banana: rotary valve and anaerobic product pumping group granting reduced oxidation.
- Mango/Guava/Passion fruit: special molder hammer mill and depulper assembly.
-
Enzymatic inactivation
Enzymatic inactivation
Ultra-fast enzymatic inactivation: ensures precise heating, flavor protection and maintenance of high viscosity for superior final products.
