How are kiwi skin and seeds removed?The pulping and refining section separates the skin and seeds. Screen selection also affects the texture and amount of fibre in the product base.
Can the line include concentration?Concentration is optional and is added after pulping or refining when the finished product is a concentrated kiwi base.
Can the line use different packages?The filling section is selected for the product and package. Bulk aseptic bags and retail packages require different filling arrangements.
