JBT FTE User Manual

Model FTE Juice Extractor

The JBT Model FTE Turbo Extractor
has been designed to provide efficient,
high performance juice extraction
with Hot Break and Cold Break Fruit,
Tomato, and Vegetable products.

The unit offers the following benefits:

Efficiency and Flexibility

The fixed pitch rotor has been
engineered with a straight blade to
exert the highest possible degree
of centrifugal force to the product
at the lowest possible input energy.
The result is maximum juice yield,
lowest possible waste stream
moisture content, and energy efficient
operation.

Conical screens are precision
manufactured from heavy duty
materials with the highest possible
open area rating to optimize
throughput. A wide range of hole
sizes are available in step or conical
drilled hole patterns.

The high precision conical rotor
and screen configuration provides
for extremely uniform concentricity
between the outer edge of the rotor
blades and the screen surface. This
ensures optimal use of entire screen
area. Adjustments are provided to
allow concentricity to be easily reset
to factory specifications in the field.

This feature also allows the door to be
opened without disassembly of piping
for fast, easy inspection access,
and cleaning or screen changeover
without the need to disassemble the
piping

An external hand wheel with
precision indicator is provided for
easy adjustment of the screen–rotor
clearance during operation.

The entire frame is constructed of
heavy duty stainless steel for positive
support along the entire length of the
unit.

Main rotor blades are fabricated from
a special alloy for hardness and wear
resistance.

Waste discharge area is provided
with a separate four-bladed paddle
to ensure positive removal of waste
material.

Samples of waste material are
easily and safely collected with the
integrated sample gate and collection
pan.

Oversized drive shaft with heavy
duty bearings and reliable oil bath
lubrication ensure longevity and
minimal maintenance. Periodic
greasing of bearings is eliminated
with the oil bath system.

Better Product Quality

The high efficiency rotor design is
configured to provide gentle handling
of waste material. This prevents seeds,
stems, and foreign material from being
broken or damaged and introduced
into the juice output stream. Positive
conveying of the waste material to the
discharge of the unit is also ensured.

Ruggedness and Simplicity

The Model FTE features a unique,
heavy duty one piece screen with a
“turn and lock” mounting system. This
allows screen changeovers in just
minutes without the need for a screen
press and/or other specialized tools.

Tangential inlet ensures uniform
distribution of the product into the
screen–rotor area.

Cleaning

The unit is typically supplied with a
fully automatic CIP system including
internal spray nozzles, timer system,
and automatic valves for water or
caustic. The spray nozzles are located
around the screen for thorough,
uniform cleaning. Automatic valves for
control of product and drain are also
available to further automate cleaning
operations.

Configurability

Two FTE models are available:

Model FTE 50 rated up to 55 US TPH
on hot break tomato, 33 US TPH cold
break tomato.

Model FTE 100 rated up to 110 US
TPH on hot break tomato, 65 US TPH
cold break tomato.

The flexible, shaft-coupled motor is
rated for variable frequency operation.
Horsepower range of 75 to 150 HP,
depending on model and application.

Units can be supplied with a number
of control system options:

• Complete PLC based control
system for CIP cycle, inlet–outlet
valve control, and speed control.

• Prewired junction box for easy
connection to customer-supplied
control system

All units are supplied standard with
safety interlock for doors.
