Citrus juice extractor

fruithigh-performance

Overview
JBT Marel Citrus Systems produces citrus juice extractors based on whole‑fruit instantaneous separation. These machines are specified for industrial processing lines where preserving juice quality and optimising yield are required.

Technology
The extractor uses a whole‑fruit instantaneous separation principle: fruit is presented in rotating cups and juice is separated immediately to minimise contact with peel oil and solids. The configuration reduces unwanted component transfer and supports consistent product quality across varieties.

Models and capacities

• Model 191: 8 cups Ø60 mm, 100 rpm, up to ≈800 fruits/min — fruit Ø 25–60 mm
• Model 291/391: 5 cups (3"–4"), up to 112 rpm, up to ≈560 fruits/min — 3" cups for Ø 44–83 mm; 4" cups for Ø 83–108 mm
• Model 491: 3 cups 5" (127 mm), up to 75 rpm, up to ≈225 fruits/min — designed for larger fruit Ø 108–140 mm
• Model 593: high‑throughput configuration; supports 3" and 4" juicing components for concentrate and NFC; throughput up to ≈600 fruits/min in footprint similar to 291/391

Suitable fruit types

• Oranges, mandarins, tangerines, grapefruits (various sizes), key limes, Persian limes and lemons — selection depends on model and cup configuration

Service
Lifecycle support: preventive maintenance contracts, spare parts supply, technical assistance and on‑site support to maximise uptime, maintain performance and extend equipment life.
