Delta reception lines for pomegranate typically consist of reception belts for tipping and inspecting the fruit, washing section with optional water circulation, inclined elevator and peel separation units. All equipment has a long service life combined with low maintenance cost and high reliability. One of the main focuses of the machines is the gentle handling of the fruit to achieve maximum product quality with minimum juice bitterness.

The pomegranates typically are delivered on trucks in boxes or nets. The fruit will be tipped onto the reception belt with side guides and sorting section. On the inclined elevator fruit washing can be done and the water can optionally be cleaned via a water sieve and reused. For final rinsing fresh water is used. The rotary fruit breaking and peeling unit is optimised for efficient peel separation and highest juice quality. For small and hard fruit an optional precrusher is available.

Reception lines are available with throughputs of approx. 6 t/h up to 30 t/h. All parts in contact with the product are made of stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) or other food grade material.
