Destoner / Fruit Puree
The Kreuzmayr Destoner KEP 650+ line is designed for the quick and easy destoning and passing of various types of fruit. These stone fruits include cherries, plums, apricots, peaches, mangoes, as well as avocados, apples, pears, quinces, and all types of berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries etc).
The pitting of the stone is necessary for the process of distilling. To achieve this, there are various sieve perforations of 0.8/1.5/3/5/12/15/20/ and 25 mm available depending on your application. For large stone fruit, a second passing with a smaller sieve can achieve a puree if desired.

The fruit is placed into the feeding funnel via the Kreuzmayr Washer/Elevator/Grinder (KWE 1000 or 3000) or done manually. Utilizing the driven intake screw or the two metered addition screws (KEP 1500) the fruit is continuously conveyed into the rotor chamber. The specially aligned rotor blades revolve the fruit against the internal wall of the sieve, while an ideal conversation of the cores is guaranteed. The flesh of the fruit is pushed against the holes of the sieve. The core remains in the rotor chamber and is tangentially discharged at the rear end wall of the machine, once the fruit's flesh has been thoroughly removed.
