Orange Processing Plants

Citrus packhouse lines require conveying systems that handle fresh fruit gently to prevent skin damage, bruising, and marking that would downgrade export fruit. Facet Engineering designs and installs packhouse conveying systems from the intake dump tank through the washing and drying tunnel, fruit grading and sorting lines, packing stations, and carton conveying to the cold store. All product contact surfaces are fabricated in food-grade stainless steel. Conveyor speeds, belt surfaces, and transfer geometry are designed for gentle fruit handling throughout. For orange and citrus applications, modular plastic belt conveyors with smooth or gently textured surfaces are the standard choice for their wash-down capability and low fruit abrasion.
