Screw Press for Kiwi Juice Production
Screw Press for Kiwi Juice Production
Introduction
Kiwi fruit, known for its vibrant green or golden flesh and rich nutritional profile, is increasingly popular in the global juice market. Producing high-quality kiwi juice requires efficient and reliable equipment to extract juice while preserving flavor, nutrients, and clarity. At Lyure, we specialize in manufacturing advanced screw presses designed specifically for kiwi juice production. Our screw presses offer a robust, efficient, and hygienic solution for processing kiwi fruit into premium juice.
Why Choose a Screw Press for Kiwi Juice?
Screw presses are ideal for kiwi juice production due to their ability to handle the unique characteristics of kiwi fruit, such as its soft texture, high water content, and small seeds. Unlike other juicing methods, screw presses provide gentle yet effective extraction, minimizing damage to the fruit’s delicate structure and ensuring maximum juice yield. Key advantages include:
High Juice Yield: The continuous pressing mechanism extracts up to 75-85% of the juice from kiwi fruit, reducing waste and maximizing output.
Preservation of Quality: Low-speed pressing reduces oxidation, preserving the natural flavor, color, and nutritional content of kiwi juice.
Versatility: Lyure’s screw presses can process both green and golden kiwi varieties, as well as other fruits, making them a versatile choice for juice producers.
Easy Maintenance: Designed with hygiene in mind, our screw presses feature stainless steel construction and easy-to-clean components, ensuring compliance with food safety standards.
How Lyure’s Screw Press Works
Lyure’s screw presses are engineered for efficiency and durability. The process begins with washed and optionally peeled kiwi fruit being fed into the machine’s hopper. The screw press operates as follows:
Crushing and Feeding: The kiwi fruit is gently crushed to break the skin and pulp, preparing it for pressing. The screw mechanism then transports the crushed fruit toward the pressing chamber.
Juice Extraction: As the screw rotates, it applies controlled pressure to the fruit, squeezing the juice through a fine mesh screen. The seeds and pomace are separated and discharged separately, ensuring a smooth, seed-free juice.
Collection and Filtration: The extracted juice is collected in a stainless steel container, ready for further processing, such as filtration or pasteurization, depending on the producer’s requirements.
Our screw presses are equipped with adjustable pressure settings, allowing operators to optimize extraction based on the kiwi variety and desired juice clarity.
