High consistence of tomato paste:

UHV system to reach the inactivation of enzymes and microorganisms in less than 7 seconds;
great thermal inertia;
high speed of recirculation;
final viscosity of the concentrate below 2º Bostwick.

High yield in extraction of the juice:

new turbo extractors specifically developed to the extraction of the tomato juice;
new design of centrifugal beaters to achieve the best yield;
new conical-trunk sieve mounted upon guides that allow an axial displacement that determines the distance in relation to the beaters;
automated washing system with timer that operates during the process.

The line consists of:

washer combined with the selection plan;
mono pump for whole tomatoes;
UHV enzymatic deactivator;
turbo extractor;
equilibrium tank;
platforms, pumps and command panel of the line.

Apis Flora - Concentrated Propolis Line

In 2019, we completed the delivery of a concentrated propolis production line through alcoholic extraction and subsequent vacuum evaporation. The process involves the propolis, initially in the form of wax from the apiary, being added to grain alcohol within a process tank specifically designed for this purpose. In the mixing tank, the product is kept constantly stirred, undergoing successive heating and cooling operations over many hours. After this period, the propolis will be diluted. The settled sediment is discarded, and the product is sent to the concentrator for alcohol evaporation and propolis concentration. The concentration pot facilitates vacuum evaporation, and the evaporated alcohol is recovered in an indirect condenser and sent back to the alcohol accumulation tank. The final product is pure and concentrated propolis. All equipment was constructed following safety standards for explosive atmospheres and ATEX certification. Currently, the line is in perfect operation, adding value to our customer.
