Ion Exchanger

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document outlines the use of ion exchange systems by Bucher Unipektin AG for the treatment of fruit juices and syrups. These systems are designed to produce acid-reduced or deionized fruit juices and sugar syrups according to customer specifications, with a focus on minimal processing costs and fully automated operations.

Specifications: The ion exchange systems are fully automatic, controlled by PLC, and feature a PC-based operator interface. They are capable of processing plant sizes ranging 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 comply with local regulations.

Applications: The systems utilize weak anion exchange resins to adjust the sugar/acid ratio in fruit juices, allowing for fruit acid reduction. By using both cation and anion exchange resins, complete deionization of juices and by-products is possible, facilitating the recovery of fruit sugars. An optional polishing step with adsorption resins can produce colorless fruit sugar solutions.

Design and Functionality: Clarified juice is processed through combinations of ion exchange resins, where charged components are retained, and equally charged ions are released into the product. Once the resins' deionizing capacity is exhausted, they are regenerated with acids, bases, or salts for the next cycle. Optional adsorptive polymer vessels can enhance color and organic molecule reduction.

Products and Services: Bucher Unipektin AG offers a range of process technologies for fruit and vegetable processing, beer filtration, milk powder production, and more. Their product line includes fruit reception lines, mills, mash heaters, hydraulic presses, membrane filtration equipment, and complete processing lines. They also provide services such as process development, project engineering, technical support, and maintenance.

Application Bucher Unipektin Ion Exchange Systems with weak anion exchange resins are used to adjust the sugar/acid ratio of fruit juices (fruit acid reduction). If cation and anion exchange resins are applied it is possible to completely deionise juices and by-products for recovering the fruit sugars. By adding a polishing step with adsorption resins, colourless fruit sugar solutions can be produced. Design and functionality Clarified juice is passed through selected combinations of ion exchange resins. Charged components are retained on the respective resin by ionic forces, releasing an equally...
