The system, which includes a DTA-series heat exchanger and a BP8 and BP10 pump, will process four tonnes per hour of aseptic sliced and diced strawberry in syrup.
Designed to overcome many challenges associated with traditional pumps, HRS’ BP-series reciprocating positive-displacement pump is a hydraulically operated pump that delivers high flow rates and high-pressure drop.
“Chopped fruit and vegetables, which are aseptically packed in a convenient ready to use form, have become very popular for commercial use,” said Carlos Cobian, general manager, HRS Process Technology. “The reason for this lies in their high added value compared to canned products and their ease of use for transformation companies that use them for commercial production of convenience foods.
“The success of our technology for fruit dices aseptic plants is based on our corrugated double tube heat exchangers, piston pump and our aseptic filler. Combining them makes it possible to process the fruit pulp and purée minimising the undesirable thermal effects and get a reliable, hygienic and well controlled filling process.”
