Bag unpacking and fruit shedding station
Processed products: frozen raspberries, frozen bananas, frozen peach puree.

The deagglomeration station for frozen fruit and frozen purée consists of an open hopper equipped with a deposit tray for the containers, and is used to discharge IQF blocks. A GR70 granulator is positioned under this hopper to ensure the separation and breaking of the frozen blocks. A support frame holds the station in place above the customer tank.
A two-handed control ensures that the equipment is used safely.

A central platform provides operator access to the discharge/crushing station, the deagglomeration station and the control cabinet. It also allows the pallet containing the IQF cardboard boxes to be positioned.
