Stainless Steel De-stoner One - Stainless Steel De-stoner One

Applications & Use Cases

• Used in fruit and vegetable processing to remove stones, pits, and other heavy foreign objects.
• Applied in the nut industry for separating shells and unwanted debris from kernels.
• Utilised in grain processing to clean raw materials before further milling or sorting.
• Essential in food preparation lines to ensure product purity and prevent damage to downstream equipment.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 kg/h to 5,000 kg/h, depending on product type and specific design.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with power requirements varying based on motor size.

Construction material

As indicated, the primary contact parts and frame are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

A de-stoner's footprint commonly ranges from 1.5m x 1m to 3m x 1.5m, requiring sufficient space for operation and maintenance access.

Suitable feed size

De-stoners are typically designed to handle a range of product sizes, from small grains to larger fruits, with specific sieve sizes determining suitability.

Separation principle

Most de-stoners operate using a combination of vibration, water flow, or air classification to separate heavier stones from lighter product.
