JBT launches new technologies for juice and purée processing

Food and beverage technology provider, JBT Corporation, has announced the launch of its FVPGrow and Chopper Blender SE technologies. The new technologies are specifically designed for juice and purée processing for consumers in need of smaller-sized, versatile machinery to implement across their production lines. The FVPGrow machinery separates seeds, skins and extraneous particulate material to produce a liquid or semi-liquid product out of various fruits and vegetables. It offers a continuous, juice extraction at up to one tonne per hour, depending on the raw product. No heat is added during extraction, suiting products for immediate bottling. JBT’s Chopper Blender SE reduces frozen products into a palpable condition for juice and purée production. The technology comes with a hot water jacket around the lower portion and bottom of its tank, supporting the product thawing process, and a heating jacket that lines the underside of the intake chute to help frozen product flow into the system. “Continuous improvement is at the forefront of everything we do at JBT, which led to the creation of FVPGrow and Chopper Blender SE for our fresh produce customers,” said Michael Mas, global product line director at JBT Corporation. Mas continued: “Both of these technologies serve unique and evolving needs across fruit and vegetable processing lines, and will enhance our customers’ outputs in today’s extremely competitive market”. “The sustainability features of these technologies, in addition to the continuous improvement of safety, hygiene and quality, are perfect examples of JBT’s ongoing investment in the innovation of our solutions to address our customer's needs,” said Carlos Fernandez, executive VP of JBT Corporation. Fernandez added: “Our team has once again delivered premier industry technologies, and we look forward to continuing to work closely with these industry leaders to reach and exceed their production goals.”
