The fruit processing and juice industry often overlooks a significant opportunity: the valuable byproducts left over from juice production. While a Belt press is highly efficient and can extract about 75% of a fruit’s juice, the remaining 25% of the fruit mash is often discarded.
This doesn’t have to be the case. By adding a few simple machines, you can turn this “waste” into new products, increase your profits, and move a step closer to a zero-waste operation.
Processing leftover fruit mash with just 1-2 pieces of additional machines, can transform your waste into a new profitable stream. A Destoner Pulper machine, a Multi-purpose jam cooker or a Tube-in-tube Heat exchanger can unlock endless possibilities for producing various purees, sauces, marmalades or even juice drinks.
One option is to use a Tube-in-tube heat exchanger to gently heat the leftover mash. This process revives the product, making it softer and easier to extract remaining pulp. From there, the heated mash can be transferred to a Destoning pumping machine to separate the leftover seeds and skins and create a unified puree.
Alternatively, the heated mash can be placed straight into the Multi-purpose jam cooker to produce unlimited recipes for your new products: from marmalades, jams, to sauces or even porridges – the cooker does it all.
Another option is to combine all these steps together, ensuring the highest puree quality and even wider final product range.
With the demand for natural fruit and vegetable purees on the rise, investing in this simple machinery is a smart move offering a quick return. A Destoner pulper, Tube-in-tube heat exchanger, and Multi-purpose jam cooker are the ideal tools for expanding your product range and fully utilizing your byproducts. This approach not only increases your profit but also unlocks endless possibilities, positioning your company as a leader in sustainable, zero-waste production.
