“This system allows for a lot of efficiencies. The mash is totally dry when it comes out. We are super pleased with the yield that we get out of it. It has really been a game-changer for us. It’s allowed us to grow our production and use more of our crop for our cider without totally exhausting ourselves and our staff.” “For us, it has allowed us to double our production while decreasing the amount of work by a significant amount during the pressing season. We had grown from aboutRead More…
Single Belt Press
The automatic Single Belt Press KEB is the ideal machine for fruit and vegetable juicing. Designed for the extraction of juice from produce such as apples, pears, beets, carrots, leafy greens etc. The fruit pulp (mash) is transported onto the moving press belt. Stone fruit like cherries, plums, apricots, or peaches needs to have their stones removed with a De-stoning machine (KEP) in order to produce a fragment-free pulp ready for belt pressing.
When one press outshines two! Read how Kauffman’s Fruit Farm achieved better yields and capacity here.
Advantages
- Machine construction is made of stainless steel and food grade plastics
- Sealed, grease-refillable roller bearings for the rollers

- Variable belt speed controller
- Variable belt pressure adjustment to suit different fruits
- Automatic belt alignment
- Low maintenance, easy cleaning
- High pressure water jet continuous cleaning with fresh water to minimize press belt contamination
- Machine delivered ready to start
- Simple to operate
- Operator control panel can be either left or right side (optional)
- Brush roller for cleaning the belt (for KEB 500 / 750 / 1000 / 1250)
Function
The pulped mash is conveyed via the KWEM Washer/Elevator/Grinder or using a mash pump into the press hopper. The pulp is spread between the main pressing roller and the belt to start the initial juice extraction.
This pulp is progressively squeezed by a series of additional rollers and mash deflector blades to achieve an optimum juice yield of up to 75%. At the exit of the press, the pomace (mash) will be automatically scraped from the belt. A high pressure water jet cleaning device continually removes any remaining pulp particles from the press-belt, so that the belt is cleaned and ready to continue its pressing cycle.
The single belt presses are delivered “ready to operate”. After installing, leveling and connecting to the power supply and pressurized air, the press is ready to start. In order to adapt the single belt presses to the different working conditions (different fruits and vegetables) the belt speed and pressure can be easily modified by the operator to suit the product condition. The machine is simple to clean.
