Turbo extractors or pulpers are high-throughput machines used in fruit and vegetable processing to separate juice, puree, and fiber. They use centrifugal or rotor-screen action to break down produce, remove seeds and skins, and deliver consistent pulp for juices, sauces, or concentrates. Built in stainless steel with sanitary design, these units prioritize easy cleaning, adjustable throughput, and compatibility with different crops and viscosities.
Check rotor and screen condition, shaft alignment, seals, bearings, motor and gearbox operation, sanitary finish, and any signs of corrosion or impact damage. Ask for maintenance records and a test run with similar product if possible.
Verify throughput (kg/h or T/h), particle size/pulp consistency specs, permissible fruit types and hardness, and adjustable speed ranges. Request performance data or a demonstration with your crop.
Note weight, footprint, and lifting points. Disassemble attachments if possible, secure rotors and screens, and use a carrier experienced with stainless food equipment. Ensure proper crating and documentation for export/import and sanitary inspection.
Screens, rotor blades/liners, seals, bearings and gaskets are common wear items. Keep a set of screens and seals on hand for quick replacement to avoid downtime.
Use a CIP-compatible setup or manual wash with food-safe detergents, followed by rinse and approved sanitizers. Remove screens and seals for deep cleaning and inspect for residue that can harbor microbes.
Regularly inspect and lubricate bearings, check and replace seals, monitor motor and gearbox temperatures and vibrations, clean after each run, and schedule periodic alignment and wear checks based on hours of operation.
