Tomato Pinch Bed

The JBT FoodTech Tomato Pinch Bed operates in-line with all JBT FoodTech peelers at the highest volumes they produce.

In the processing line, the pinch bed follows a Rubber Cord Scrubber to efficiently remove peels with a patented combination of opposite rotating rollers. Spray nozzles and rotating brushes clean the conveyer on the bottom side. Side drip pans collect by-product into an auger for reuse and peeled tomatoes are discharged from the end of the Pinch Bed.
