We want to filter with a machine to leave a certain amount of cloudiness, reducing manual tasks and increasing efficiency.

A juice manufacturer, H Corporation, told us, “We want to remove foreign matter with a machine while keeping some cloudiness, and to save on labor.” So we proposed and supplied a centrifuge that supports juice manufacture by removing foreign matter from fruit juice squeezed from fruit.

As a result of using our centrifuge, after introduction, it was possible to filter the squeezed juice with ease in a short time without manual intervention. In addition, since the centrifuge is all stainless steel, the paint was removed and it was possible to reduce the risk of mixing with foreign matter.

The KM centrifuge that supports juice manufacture by filtering fruit juice.

Key Points – High-speed filtration due to a centrifugal force several hundred times greater than gravity

After a filtration test with a test machine, the optimal specification was proposed at an in-depth meeting.

We conducted tests with a test machine and determined the filtration time for the desired amount of cloudiness remaining from the fruit juice.

We held an interview to determine the required filtration conditions for the customer’s product, investigated the desired optimal machine, then held a meeting.

All stainless-steel exterior to prevent mixing of foreign matter

The machine specification is all stainless steel with no paint so that foreign matter does mix with the juice product.

There is no concern about peeling paint mixing with the product, and this is effective PR for customers on a factory tour as it is clean to the eye.

Automatic control of the optimal G (centrifugal force) for processing

Since variable speed control is effected that can freely alter the rotation speed, filtration and water removal processing at the optimal G (centrifugal force) for the product is possible.

Peace of mind even in case of emergency

Since the machine is equipped with interlockings, abnormal vibration detection equipment, a rotation speed compensation system, and so on, the safety equipment automatically operates in the event of an emergency.

Filtration automation

Before introducing the filtration machine, workers squeezed the fruit inserted into a cloth bag using their own strength and removed any foreign matter. But after introducing the filtration machine, it was possible to carry out the filtration with ease in a short time and remove foreign matter without human intervention.
