Fruit pulps - Import export

Tomato pulp is obtained directly from freshly chopped tomatoes, after separating the skins and removing some of the water from them. Fruits intended for processing into pulp must be of similar quality to those intended for peeled fruit, i.e. with reduced seed content and increased firmness. In this case, round tomatoes are preferred, as they lend themselves to different types of processing, cutting or pressing, depending on whether you want to market a product as chopped, pulp, diced or sliced. Less liquid and more full-bodied than purée, tomato pulp is used in many recipes, from reduced sauces to stuffed focaccia, from "calzoni" to vegetable gratins and soups. The residual sugar content of the fruit is also evaluated. The fruit is then washed with jets of water and in tanks to remove any foreign matter resulting from harvesting, green parts and unsuitable fruit.

The Helicoid monotube heat exchanger, operating by means of counterflowing cooling or heating fluids, has an exceptionally high heat exchange coefficient, due to the special corrugated profile of the two concentric stainless steel pipes. This considerably reduces the exchange surface compared with conventional smooth pipe heat exchangers. A wide range of original applications are available. This is the only tubular heat exchanger for the homogeneous cooling or heating of grape mash (with or without stalks), fruit pulp and other products containing suspended solids or fibres (up to 25-30%). It is therefore ideal for: • in-line chilling of white grape mash at 15°C, to prevent fermentation before pressing • instantaneous chilling of black grape mash at 25°C • black grape mash fermentation control by means of by-pass circulation.
