AUTOMATIC BANANA PEELER “CERERE 6000”
AUTOMATIC BANANA PEELER “CERERE 6000”
Tropical Food Machinery has patented the new automatic banana peeler “Cerere 6000” which has a working capacity of 6 mT/h of fresh product and a pulp extraction yield of 60%.
Cerere 6000 will guarantee you a precise automatic peeling system and a reduced use of workforce, a processing of the pulp in inert atmosphere with anti-oxidant treatment, a constant productivity and an excellent final quality.
Model: TFCERERE 6000
Capacity: 6,000 kg/h - 35,000 bananas/h
Briefly, the industrial and technological advantages offered by Cerere 6000 can be summarized in:
Employment of only 10-15 operators for the operations related to sorting and loading of the banana hand on the steel cable that brings them to the chamfering unit (operation of removal of the upper edge of the banana).
Quick automatic banana peeling. The peeling of the single fruit is performed instantly guaranteeing a clear separation of peel and pulp.
Constant cleaning with water of the surfaces in contact with the product in order to facilitate the expulsion of the residues of the peels from the peeler.
No contact between pulp and atmospheric oxygen. The peeler Cerere 6000 carries out automatically the peeling in a nitrogen atmosphere chamber avoiding also any contact between the pulp and the operators.
Anti-oxidant treatment. The direct contact of ascorbic and/or citric acid with the pulp avoids oxidation and preserves the natural organoleptic properties of the banana: color, taste and firmness.
Apis Flora - Concentrated Propolis Line
In 2019, we completed the delivery of a concentrated propolis production line through alcoholic extraction and subsequent vacuum evaporation. The process involves the propolis, initially in the form of wax from the apiary, being added to grain alcohol within a process tank specifically designed for this purpose. In the mixing tank, the product is kept constantly stirred, undergoing successive heating and cooling operations over many hours. After this period, the propolis will be diluted. The settled sediment is discarded, and the product is sent to the concentrator for alcohol evaporation and propolis concentration. The concentration pot facilitates vacuum evaporation, and the evaporated alcohol is recovered in an indirect condenser and sent back to the alcohol accumulation tank. The final product is pure and concentrated propolis. All equipment was constructed following safety standards for explosive atmospheres and ATEX certification. Currently, the line is in perfect operation, adding value to our customer.
