Typical applications of our PCM solutions for the fruit and vegetable industry

  • Transfer of pulps, purees or compotes with pieces
  • Precise dosing of sauces, coulis or flavoured preparations
  • Incorporation of solid ingredients (fruit pieces, spices, seeds) into liquid or semi-liquid mixtures
  • Gentle handling of sensitive products with chunks to prevent crushing and maintain texture, taste and freshness

A manufacturer needed an integrated solution to fill trays of fruit purée with large pieces

Need

Fill 1 kg trays of fruit puree with pieces up to 20 to 25 mm.

Integrate into an existing machine whose dosing machine did not allow the dosing of large pieces (cleanliness of the dosage and respect of the pieces) while guaranteeing a dosing rate of 12 trays / min.

Be autonomous for cleaning-in-place (the end customer does not have a CIP station on site).

Solution

Supply of a PCM Dosyfill dosing system, a Dosys™ 130/100-48 pump, a full-bore drip nozzle type BPI 35 and a centrifugal pump that ensures the CIP flow necessary for cleaning in place without dismantling the various equipment. 

Benefits

The PCM Dosyfill dosing system was perfectly integrated into the customer's process.

The design of the dispenser (48 mm unrestricted full pass) and injection nozzle (35 mm unrestricted all-through) ensures that the pieces are kept safe.

A producer seeking an integrated solution for filling juices, purées, or fruit coulis

Need

Fill 1 kg trays with juice, pulp, coulis or fruit puree with or without pieces (maximum size = 3 to 5 mm).

Integrate into a packaging machine with 4 trays per machine step working at a rate of 17 machine steps per minute. 

Be able to collect CIP feedback from the dosing system directly on the packaging machine.

Solution

Supply of a Dosyfill dosing group with 4 dosing heads fed by a DMR type hopper, 4 drip cutter nozzles with CIP return tray. 

Benefits

The Dosyfill is integrated directly into the packaging machine, thus limiting the footprint while improving the ergonomics of the dosing station.

All equipment can be completely cleaned without dismantling, with the CIP return tray ensuring no leaks throughout the circuit.
