Our hydraulic systems are suitable for the extraction of various raw-materials and are the most common system when it comes to the production of apple juices of superior quality. The unique system with its drainage-elements in combination with hydraulic pressure allow maximised yields together with a minimum of sediments.

Key features:

• Unique filtering-/drainage system
• Space – dejuicing with immense internal drainage surface
• High separation capability together with minor solids – content
• Unbeaten reliability
• Low energy requirements
• Universal use in numerous applications

The drainage system as developed by Bucher is unique and stands for a revolution in the fruit juice industry. The raw material is pressed by a hydraulically driven piton-cylinder-system whereby the drainage-elements assist an optimised space-dejuicing, in line with a decent pre-filtration of the juice. The coaction of filling and smooth pressing together with high pressures and intermediate loosening are given uniquely with this technology. Thereby, new dejuicing channels are created for the liquids with each pressing stroke.

The results:

• Maximised yields
• Juices with outstanding quality
• Extracts with very low solid content

Thanks to this unique extraction technology by Bucher, extremly high yields are possible. This is demonstrated in low residual moisture of the pomace as well. The reduction of disposal costs is another welcomed side effect. Due to the outstanding pre-filtering, the sediment content in the filtrate is very low. The efforts for the subsequent processing steps becomes reduced and therefore the costs minimalized. Additional yield and reduced disposal costs in comparison to other systems make the Bucher systems extremely economical and are resulting in a very short ROI (return on investment).
