Double Belt Press
The automatic Double Belt Press K2B is constructed for the extraction of juice from a variety of produce such as apples, pears, berries, watermelon, vegetables etc. The pulped mash is transported via the KWEM Elevator/Washer/Grinder or a Mash Pump into the press hopper. Both the width and height of the cake laid onto the press can be adjusted. The mash is then continuously expelled on the pre-pressing zone and optimized for the main pressing to ensure the highest quality of the juice. The mash moves to the main pressing roller and from there to consecutively smaller rollers to achieve optimal juice yields.
At the exit of the press, the mash is automatically scraped, and to minimize clean up time, the belt is cleaned by high-pressure water jet cleaning devices. This continually removes any remaining particulates from the press-belt which makes the belt clean and ready to continue its pressing cycle. Fresh or circulating water can be used for belt cleaning.

The produce that is washed the Kreuzmayr KWEM Washer/Elevator/Grinder is transported up to the centrifugal crusher. The fruit mash is expelled onto the continual moving press-belt. An automatic control prevents overfilling of the hopper. Stone fruit such as cherries, plums, apricots or peaches must have their stones removed with a Destoner (KEP 1500 or KEP 2500) to ensure a fragment free mash that is ready to be put onto the belt for pressing.
The Double Belt Press can be adapted to a variety of fruit and vegetable types. The belt speed and press force can be adjusted for these varieties as needed.
The machine is easy to clean by one person. The juice trays and pans can be removed easily without requiring tools.
