Paddle Finisher
Our Model 202 paddle machine called an extractor, pulper, finisher, separator, de-water, classifier, scalper and refiner. Picture in your mind the following to see how these paddle machines work. The palm of your left hand is faced up and is a screen. Your right hand picks up some chopped fruit and puts it on the left hand screen. The right hand then rubs in a circle on the left hand screen trying to press everything above the screen through the screen to make a puree. This puree is thick with high solids and gives your best "yields". The material that will not go through the screen such as seeds, defects, or hard materials is pushed off the edge of the screen to become "pomace" or waste. This waste can have a very low moisture level as low as 60% to 70% moisture as with tomato pomace and is dryer than screw finisher pomace from the same raw material
