FVPGrow™

JBT’s FVPGrow™ technology is a perfect solution to accommodate the needs of smaller production spaces. With modern improvements that provide easy access and quick disassembly for rapid cleaning, this technology separates seeds, skins and extraneous particulate material to produce a liquid or semi-liquid product out of various fruits and vegetables. It offers continuous, hygienic juice extraction at up to one ton per hour, depending on the raw product, and minimizes product loss to maximize overall yield. No heat is added during the extraction process, suiting the product for immediate bottling, and can be followed with JBT’s High Pressure Processing (HPP) technology. Customers also benefit from enhanced simplicity and efficiency throughout the production process driven by FVPGrow™’s single motor.

Chopper/Blender SE

JBT’s Chopper/Blender SE technology rapidly reduces frozen product into a palpable condition for juice and purée production. Its notable differentiators are specific heating jackets that support the product thawing process and help the purée flow seamlessly into the system. Combined with a unique, heavy duty blade, these features allow the product to reach a flowable state quickly. The frozen juice drum processing rate of the Chopper/Blender SE is four drums per hour, which enables customers to process products almost immediately from the cold room and ultimately reduce electricity costs that come with products sitting in refrigerators or chillers for an extended amount of time.
