Food processing technology manufacturer, Provisur Technologies, has released the first of its proprietary line of STS separators, the STS 2000 belt separator, designed for higher quality and higher yield applications.
Provisur stated STS technologies are ideal for the creation of a wide range of jams, compotes and different types of fruit and vegetable sauces and purees. The STS 2000 is a new refiner that enables higher throughput and quality control for many end products.
After the operator introduces the product into the refiner, a flexible pressing belt pulls the product through and presses it against a perforated drum. The soft parts then move through the holes of the drum as any hard components such as stones or skin are removed from the outside of the drum by a scraping knife and discarded into a waste chute.
Provisur VP of separation, Olivier Kerdiles, said the STS 2000 separator is ideal for operations that require high-quality outputs.
“One of the biggest challenges for operations that involve soft-tissue products like burgers and fish nuggets is the removal of bone fragments and other soft components while maintaining the integrity and structure of the fiber in the meat and fish,” said Kerdiles.
“The STS 2000 enables high-yield separation of bone fragments, sinew, and cartilage from meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables to ensure higher yields and higher quality end products.”
In addition to its high-speed performance, the STS 2000 features a streamlined configuration and options for manual or automatic operation, which make disassembly and maintenance quick and easy – ensuring hygienic operations and quick cleanup.
Provisur’s STS 2000 and other products are available from Multivac, the company’s Australian distributor, at multivac.com/au/en.
