Fruit and vegetable processing pumps
Efficient Transport Pumps for Fruit, Vegetables, Tomato Products, and Semi-Liquid Media
Fruit juice production and the processing of fruits, vegetables, and tomato products represent a continuously growing sector, especially in Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Greece, France, and Spain, where favorable climate conditions allow for abundant, high-quality cultivation. From small artisanal workshops to large industrial plants, the primary objective remains the same: to obtain a natural, high-quality product while preserving its organoleptic properties.
The processing of fresh fruit and vegetables—including tomatoes and large fruit pieces—typically begins with cutting, crushing, or extraction, either manually or through automated systems, followed by thermal treatments such as pasteurization to ensure product stability. Throughout every stage of the process—from transferring whole or large fruit pieces, to pumping fresh juice, tomato juice, and concentrated products ready for further processing or bottling—a gentle and controlled transport method is essential to maintain product integrity.
Nova Rotors progressive cavity (monoscrew) pumps are perfectly suited for these applications, ensuring a delicate, pulsation-free pumping action with low shear stress. This allows the safe handling of large fruit pieces, fibrous materials, and high-viscosity products, preventing product degradation, avoiding unwanted emulsification, and preserving the natural structure, flavor, and nutritional value of the processed media.
