Solution slice and dices aseptic strawberry in syrup

HRS Process Technology has supplied heat exchanger and pump solutions for an aseptic fruit processing plant in California. The system, which includes a DTA-series heat exchanger and a BP8 and BP10 pump, will process four tonnes of aseptic sliced and diced strawberry in syrup per hour.

Processing products with particulates can be challenging as whole or dried fruits can be easily damaged. The combination of the HRS’ DTA-series heat exchanger and BP series pumps guarantee zero damage to the particulate, while maintaining integrity and shape.

HRS’ BP-series reciprocating positive-displacement pump is hydraulically operated with high flow rates and high-pressure drop.

“The success of our technology for fruit dices aseptic plants is based on our corrugated double tube heat exchangers, piston pump, and our aseptic filler. Combining them makes it possible to process the fruit pulp and purée minimising the undesirable thermal effects and get a reliable, hygienic and well- controlled filling process”, said Carlos Cobian, general manager, HRS Process Technology.
