Fruit pulper-finisher 202, 207 series

Our Model 202, series 207 paddle machine. Also known as an extractor, pulper, finisher, separator, de-waterer, classifier, scalper and refiner. How it works: Chopped product is collected and pushed upward until it reaches a screen. Upon reaching the screen, a paddle arm circulates the chopped product, and presses it through the screen. The material that makes it through the screen becomes a thick puree with high solids. The leftover material that doesn’t make it through such as seeds, defects, and “hard material” is pushed to the edge of the screen as low moisture waste, or “pomace.”
