Healthy and nutritious locally made beverages pressed from windfall or table quality fruit in the form of cider, perry or fruit juices are becoming ever more popular and important with people everywhere.

Fruit trees are not only an attractive feature in the landscape, they are also valuable providers of the raw materials for the direct marketing of fruit, the sale of fruit to the food processing industries and in particular for farm and home-made products which represent a valuable addition to a farmer’s income.

Pressing by experts ensures that the consumer gets a natural and delicious product and thus makes an indirect but active contribution to ecology and environmental protection.

 

Washing, conveying, shredding

SA200 ELEVATOR 

Wash system for fruit and vegetables made of stainless steel comprising a sorting grid, washing container and transport chain. The washing of the transported items takes place in the washing container using a fresh water spray on the transport belt. The transport speed is infinitely adjustable as a result of the frequency converter. The is suitable for processing all kinds of foods, e.g.fruit, berries and vegetables.

Removable centrifugal mill for various arrangement options in the whole system and for simpler cleaning. (SA200 SOLO)

 

SA400 ELEVATOR + RM40 

With the SA400+RM40 we offer a perfectly matched and strong combination of a wash and grinding system. The combined washing system on the one hand cleans using air blown from water stored below and on the other by using flowing cutters. The fresh air blown from the water keeps the fruit in constant movement. The contact cleans the fruit as they hit each other in the flowing water. This flow of water on the grinding system affects the opposite cutting edges and thus removes swimming foreign bodies that are then collected in the capture baskets. These can be removed without tools and during operation. The flow system also allows the water container to be emptied completely, down to the last fruit.

• Saves water through selectable operating mode of the fresh water jets
• Overflow monitoring
• Mill can be tilted by 180° without tools
• Covers can be opened without tools for simple cleaning
• High-pressure cleaner connection for cleaning the link conveyor

De-stoning machines

EP500, EP100 DE-STONING MACHINE

Drain

The raw goods are inserted into the filling funnels that were designed for standard boxes and fed in doses via a central screw to the rotor’s rubber lips. Driven by belts, these gently throw the raw goods through the installed drum sieve. The mash passed in this way flows through the drum sieve into the mash capture container to the mash dispensing connection DN65. The separated stones are continuously moved backwards in the drum sieve and from there dispensed into a container located for that purpose. The removable central cover and the simple sieve removal/exchange enable quick and effective intermediate and final cleaning. The best basis for further processing—no matter whether it is used for juicing, crushing, vinegar or other products.

Compact, powerful and flexible

Minimum floor space due to its compact construction, powerful drive with adequate reserves for ongoing use, easily exchanged sieves with different diameters for processing different core sizes. These are just a few of the points that our designers focused on when developing the de-stoning and mashing units. Our mashing units are basically suited to separating hard and soft materials. It is therefore possible, for example, to separate strawberries cleanly from leaves and stems or ripe William’s pears from the cores and stems. After cooking, apples can be separated from cores, stems and skin.

Two sizes—one quality

The de-stoning and mashing units EP500 and EP1000 are differentiated by the construction size and the associated throughputs. These are understood as guideline values at 500 kg and 1,000 kg and may vary depending on the ripeness. The result is sure to persuade you in either case: cleanest separation of core and fruit and perfect consistency of the passed fruit mass. There is nothing to prevent further processing no matter the method used.

 

 

Presses

Packing presses with sliding carriage

Packing presses

The all-round machine in three sizes: the compact 50P1, the standard 100 P1, and the powerful 100P2. The voran® packing presses are also well suited for soft vegetable and fruit types when the optional fine-mesh cloths are used.

Convincing arguments:

• High yield with the best juice quality
• All parts coming into contact with food consist of stainless steel or wood.
• Easy operation
• The pressing cylinder installed beneath prevents any hydraulic oil from coming into contact with the juice or mash.
• Installation without foundation
• Solid construction
• Automatic overpressure valve
• A pressing level, subdivided several times by inserts, allows the juice to drain quickly. This has a high operating speed which results in lower oxidation.
• The juice yield is more than 75%—depending on fruit and condition.

Common features

Optimal pressing system for the best juice quality. The best aroma with low turbidity. Quick drainage of the juice through the pressing level, which is subdivided several times by acacia inserts.
All parts coming into contact with the juice are made from wood, stainless steel or food-safe plastic. The machine types presented differ primarily in their throughput.

Options

• Chassis for easy manoeuvring
• Easy-to-clean stainless-steel pressing inserts
• Cheese cloths for processing berries and other soft fruits The juice yield of the voran® packing press is more than 75% (e.g. Apples).

Juice presses in three sizes 

• 50P1: Even the smallest voran packing press provides full functionality and differs from its larger counterpart only in the achievable throughput.
• 100P1: The model 100P1 sets a standard for fruit processing. High juice yield, comfortable operation and an outstanding price/performance ratio distinguish this packing press.
• 100P2: A second press tray and the resulting double pressing throughput are the major differences as compared to the 100P1. The sliding press allows filling in parallel to the ongoing pressing process. You therefore do not lose any valuable time and at the same time, produce higher juice volumes. Feeding press, can be filled during the pressing process

In combination with our WAR65 washing system, the level of the metering box is automatically supervised and controlled.

 

 

Pasteurization systems

 

Why at all—and what is pasteurisation?

Even freshly pressed raw juice which is quickly further processed from flawless raw products can become infested with micro-organisms (fungi, yeast, bacteria) within a very short time. It is therefore essential that this raw juice be preserved by a safe and gentle treatment process.

Food legislation requires that non-alcoholic beverages be preserved solely by physical processes. Preservation by thermal treatment is the most widely used process for this.

Due to their low pH value, direct juice and fruit nectar can be preserved at temperatures below 100°C. Temperature (often 76 to 80°C) and heating time determine the degree of deactivation of micro-organisms/enzymes, with temperatures over 80°C increasingly resulting in negative changes in taste (cooked/caramel flavour).

The bottle is usually filled hot to the cap, turned over for top pasteurisation and cooled back down by irrigation and loose storage for quality stabilisation still before it is packaged. Tightly closed bottles and bags are then protected against microbiological spoilage by their seal. The fruit juice‘s flavour and aroma changes in the course of storage due to ageing. Low storage temperatures and lightprotected containers slow down the loss of quality.

Properly pasteurised juice can be kept for several months without substantial quality loss.

 

PA90 Pasteurising device

Design and operation

Easily produce long-lasting juice yourself— small pasteurizer PA90!

The PA90 pasteurizer consists of a stainless steel pressure vessel, which is filled up to the mark with water. The cover is locked pressure-tight by a bayonet catch. The electrical heating coil and the tubular heat exchanger, through which the raw juice flows, are installed in the cover. The raw juice (ideally already settled), is routed through the clear juice drain of the buffer container into the lowerpositioned pasteurizer. The heat is transferred to the raw juice by the water heated by the electrical heater. If the filling process is interrupted when the heater is switched on, then overpressure is discharged through the safety valve. The integrated overheating guard shuts off if the water level in the pressure vessel is too low.

The juice’s pasteurisation temperature is regulated on the hose line exclusively by changing the flow rate. The filling temperature is displayed on the analogue thermometer. This makes the gentle preservation of your fruit and vegetable juices possible without any chemical additives

 

PA180 Electric pasteuriser 

Details and dimensions

The PA180 is a practical combination of a pasteurising device and filler, optionally available for bottle or bag-in-box filling. The system consists of an electrically heated water tank, through which the juice to be pasteurised flows from top to bottom through a tubular spiral while being preserved by heating. The raw juice tank is located above the water tank.

Heating and bottling/boxing fruit juices

• Optionally available with bottles, bag-in-box or both fillers
• Bottle filler: with easy operation to continuously and simultaneously fill two bottles
• Independent filling starts when bottle is positioned and filling stops when bottle is full
• Interchangeable wide-neck adapters fit various bottle and jar sizes
• Adjustable bottle filling height
• The juice is heated by a stainless-steel tubular heat exchanger
• Temperature limitation of the water in the heat exchanger
• Digital displays of the actual juice outlet temperature
• Heating element with overheating protection

Optionally available:

• Cleaning set: Sponge ball, adapter for dairy screw clamp to Geka
• Bottle centring plate for bottles with large standard diameter

This makes the gentle preservation of your fruit and vegetable juices possible without any chemical additives.

Bottle filling: The pasteurisation temperature is controlled by using a ball valve to regulate the flow rate. The filling is started and stopped by self-actuating valves when the bottles are placed and removed. Bottles with inner diameters of 17mm to 20mm can be filled as a standard, with an optional plate available for wide-neck bottles with up to 50mm outside diameter.

Filling Bag-in-Boxes: The pasteurization temperature is controlled by using the first ball valve to regulate the flow. The second ball valve is used to start and stop the filling process. The tap can be removed by a bracket, which holds the tap during the filling process and helps to close the bag easily.

A scale can be placed under the device to ensure precise filling.

 

PA300E and PA300EA Pasteurization Systems

PA300E

• Pasteurising system without heat source (PA500, PA1000) If you already have a suitable heating source (gas, oil, chopped wood, wood chips, pellets etc.) and can provide the necessary heat output permanently with a feed temperature over 90°C to the pasteurising system, voran® will provide a lower specification—with the same high functionality.

*If required, it can also be delivered with a plate heat exchanger

All systems stated above are fitted with a tube heat exchanger. As an option we offer models PA600 and PA1000 for oil operation and model PA750 for gas operation with a plate heat exchanger.

Tube heat exchangers offer the following advantages:

• Energy efficient
• Compact
• Remaining heat can be re-used
• Less pollution
• Simpler cleaning (cleaning package supplied)

Plate heat exchangers offer the following advantages:

• Low fill quantity
• Low temperature range
• Ideal for small batches

 

Process and control

After the raw juice has been provided, the usage temperature is ensured and you have set the desired filling temperature, the fully automatic pasteurisation process starts: after warming the heating circuit system, the juice pump switches on automatically. On reaching the set juice temperature, the intelligent juice guidance system switches from reverse operation (to the tank) to filling operation. During the continuous filling operation, the control unit regulates the juice temperature completely automatically to ±0.3°C. On initiation of the overflow protection in the subsequent buffer tank for the filler, the control unit initially switches the heating source to standby automatically whereby the residual heat in the heating circuit is still used to heat the raw juice. On restarting (after releasing the overflow protection) the pasteurised juice is available again immediately. A fully automatic cleaning cycle ensures quick and simple cleaning.

In automatic continuous operation, no user-dependent manual controls are required any more.

 

High-tech as the basis for fruit juice quality/ stability, function and user-friendliness

• Gentle, secure pasteurisation to the pre-set filling temperature for fresh, cloudy and transparent fruit and vegetable juices, must, vinegar and wine.
• Very gentle pasteurisation
• Pasteurising system as a module element, matched to all previous and subsequent voran® machines, bag-in-box fillers etc. (refer to Page 3).
• Simple handling, no more imprecise manual control valves to be operated by feel or experience. This results in a user-independent, safe pasteurising result and fruit juice with a constant, high quality level.
• Quick system availability due to short system heating time. During stop-and-go operation, a high-quality heat buffer store ensures machine continuity and therefore ensures pasteurisation with the best fruit juice quality.
• Easy to clean tube heat exchanger or optional counter-current plate heat exchanger.

Filler systems

SERIES FILLER R4 AND R6 (BOTTLES) 

The voran® inline fillers in four or six-position design are the optimal solutions for small production filling. Output: 300 or 500 litres per hour. The well designed and purely mechanical mode of operation enables these fillers to achieve an excellent priceperformance ratio. The R4 and R6 inline fillers are also available as table models. We offer bases for adjusting the work height to enable ergonomic operation. The use of wide-neck adapters (optional) with diameters of 22 to 95 millimetres make it possible to fill bottles and jars with different neck diameters. The standard filler can be used for inside bottleneck diameters of 10 to 28 millimetres. The filler can be supplied with the option to control an upstream pasteurizer and it is possible to retrofit existing fillers with this option.

 

MBF750 (BAG-IN-BOX)

The MBF750 filling systems offer a solution for the semi-automatic filling of bags in 3, 5, 10 and 20 litre sizes. voran©-Bag-in-Box filling systems are equipped with two litre counting displays. These counters can be reset manually, independently of each other. This allows each of the filling processes to be counted even when different bag-in-box sizes are used. The juice is transported by the pump of an upstream pasteuriser into the filler’s juice storage tank. After a bag is inserted into the locking mechanism and the tap removed manually, the filling station is then positioned over the bag opening. The pre-set volume is gravity filled into the bag. The filling valve is controlled by the calibrate-able scale and closes when the filling volume is reached. This system achieves extremely accurate filling levels. All of the filling systems are equipped with an analogue thermometer for a quick visual temperature check.

 

MBF 750-R6 (BOTTLES & BAG-IN-BOX)

Bag-in-Box filler combined with a 6-position bottle inline filler for the filling of fruit or vegetable juices. Intended for the filling of standard bags with 3, 5, 10 or 20 litres and bottles from 0.25 to 2 litres. The MBF750-R6 is not designed for the simultaneous filling of bottles and bags. Each of the four pre-set filling volumes can be reprogrammed by the operator to any desired value.
