Fruit and Vegetable Processing

Fruit and Vegetable Processing

Efficient transport pumps for fruit or vegetable pieces or semi-liquids and Juice

Fruit juice production and the processing of fruits and vegetables represent a continuously growing sector, especially in Mediterranean countries like Italy, Greece, France, and Spain, where the favorable climate allows for abundant and high-quality cultivation. From small artisanal workshops to large industrial plants, the main goal remains the same: to obtain a natural product of the highest quality with preserved organoleptic characteristics.

The processing of fresh fruit begins with cutting and manual or automated extraction, followed by hot pasteurization treatments to ensure product stability. Throughout every stage, from moving fruit pieces to transferring the sugary juice ready for bottling, a gentle transport method is crucial to preserve the product’s integrity.

Nova Rotors monovite pumps perfectly meet these requirements, ensuring a delicate, pulsation-free pumping action with low stress and tension. This helps maintain the product’s original characteristics, preventing the fruit from turning into mash and preserving its valuable nutrients.
