Citrus Extractor

The Perfect Squeeze™…

Juice Recovery

Juice Quality

The whole fruit extraction principle of instantaneous
separation is the major reason for the outstanding juice
quality delivered by the JBT Citrus Extractor. The unique
features of the JBT extractor allow for the separation of the
juice from those constituents which, if allowed to remain in
contact with the juice for any period of time, would have an
adverse effect on the end product. In addition to standard
components for concentrate production, JBT also offers
a Premium Juice Extractor (PJE) which uses components
specifically designed to reduce oil levels in juice. The PJE
is ideal for both Not-From-Concentrate (NFC) and for
fresh juice production.

Juice Yield

The JBT citrus extraction system yields more juice per
unit of fruit than any other system. This exceptional
performance is made possible due to the ability of the
JBT Citrus Extractor to squeeze all citrus fruit efficiently
regardless of size and shape. JBT extractors will handle
a wide range of fruit sizes, as well as all fruit varieties,
including Persian limes, lemons, mandarins, oranges and
grapefruit.

Versatility

In general only two JBT Citrus Extractor models, equipped
with different configurations, are required to handle most of
the world’s citrus varieties and sizes. The sizing forgiveness
and versatility of the JBT extractor minimizes the number
of extractors required, resulting in space savings and
reduced equipment costs. Various extractor models are
capable of handling 2-7 tons of citrus per hour, depending
upon fruit size and operating speeds.

Sanitation

Maximum sanitation is made possible through the use of
stainless steel construction on all juice contact surfaces
and a totally enclosed stainless steel piping system to
transport the juice to stainless steel JBT Citrus Finishers.
To help ensure optimal sanitation, product quality, and
extractor performance, a custom tailored automated
clean-up system (ACUS) or a skid-mounted READYGo™
CITRUSAN are available as options.

Ingredient Recovery Capabilities

Pulp Recovery

The JBT citrus extraction system offers various methods
of pulp recovery. Juice cell sac size can be custom tailored
to the needs of the processor and their customers. In one
configuration the JBT extraction system can produce pure
juice sacs of normal size typically used in concentrated
juices and other products. The JBT extraction system can
also be configured to produce high quality premium pulp
cells as part of the JBT Pulp Recovery System. Juice sacs
from this system are primarily used for the marketing of
not-from-concentrate juices. The juice sacs produced by
this system range in size and are virtually free of peel and
seed particles or embryonic seeds. Up to 90% of these
juice sacs retain their floating characteristics.

Oil Recovery

The JBT citrus extraction system is unique in that is
simultaneously recovers oil as well as juice during the
same extraction cycle. This feature not only minimizes the
space and energy required to recover oil, but also delivers
high yields. Water usage and waste disposal are minimized
through the use of water recycle systems, which are part
of all recent JBT equipped citrus processing facilities.
The consistently high quality of the oil recovered in the
JBT Citrus Extractor allows processors to market their
product as cold pressed peel oil or as a raw material for
the production of d-limonene.

Secondary Solids Recovery

The dependable quality and quantity of the juice sacs
expressed from the JBT system is a result of the proven
extraction technology where bitter constituents such
as cores, membranes and seeds are instantaneously
separated from the juice and juice sacs by the prefinisher
tube during the extraction cycle. The pulp separated from
the primary finisher may be washed and added back as
secondary solids to the primary juice stream to increase
overall juice yield or processed separately to serve as a
citrus beverage base.
