Pomegranate is a healthy fruit required in many fields of the food industry. Recent studies show that pomegranate wine and juice contain powerful antioxidants, possessing anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and other useful properties.
An Israeli company specialising in machine-processing pomegranate products has developed a machine that automatically extracts arils from pomegranates. The machine is manually loaded with one pomegranate half. Within 4 to 7 seconds (depending on the size and variety of the pomegranate fruit) the arils are separated from the peels (outer skin and inner membranes of the fruit).
The machines are used today in the food industry to manufacture ready-made salads. The machine may be used both in industry and at home. It does not consume any water at all, nor does it use air pressure for the technological process.
The end-users are mainly manufacturers of ready-made salads, juices, hotels, restaurants, sport clubs, cafeterias, etc.
