Product catalog summary
Overview
Adsorption systems are designed for the processing of clear and cloudy fruit juices, focusing on haze stabilization, decolourisation, and debittering to meet specific product specifications. These systems enhance product quality without additives and minimize processing costs through fully automatic, PLC-controlled, and PC-based operations.
Applications
Bucher Unipektin Adsorbers are primarily used for processing clear fruit juices, such as apple and pear, to prevent post-haze formation and reduce color. They are also used in refining citrus juices by debittering orange juice and reducing haze in lemon juice. Additional applications include extracting anthocyanins and phenolic components from various fruits.
Design and Functionality
The system operates by pumping pulp-reduced juice through an adsorbent polymer resin in a fixed bed. Selected juice components are adsorbed onto the resin surface through molecular interactions. Once the polymer is exhausted, the juice is displaced, and the resin is regenerated for the next cycle.
Technical Specifications
Plant sizes range from 500 to 50,000 liters per hour or more, depending on the application. The systems are constructed from stainless steel and are custom-built to meet local regulations. Continuous operation is supported by multiple trains, and specialized technical support is available.
Products and Services
Bucher Unipektin offers a range of products and services, including process technology for fruit and vegetable processing, beer filtration, milk powder production, and more. They provide process development, project engineering, technical support, spare parts, and maintenance services.

Adsorber-2

Application Bucher Unipektin Adsorbers are used for the processing of clear fruit juices, mainly apple and pear, in order to prevent post haze formation as well as for partial colour reduction. Using specific resins it is possible to reduce patulin and HMF levels significantly. Another main application for adsorbers is the refinement of citrus juices (debittering of orange juice by reducing the Limonin below taste threshold, reducing of Hesperidin to prevent haze formation in clear lemon juice and astringency reduction of peel extracts for flavour enhancement). Further specific applications are...
