Stem Separator with Rotating Drum
One of the most important tasks in cleaning frozen berries is the separation of stems. To achieve this type of mechanical cleaning, we produce stem separators. The cleaning of stems is carried out through friction between frozen berries and against the sieves, with hole sizes tailored for each type of berry. The sieves are interchangeable, so to switch from, for example, currants to elderberries, you simply need to replace the sieves.

Stem Separator: Reliable Solution for Cleaning Frozen Berries
What is a Stem Separator and Why is it Needed?
A stem separator is specialized industrial equipment designed to remove stems from frozen berries. This process is crucial in preparing berries for further processing in the food industry, as it ensures product purity and maintains high quality standards. Stem separators are widely used to process berries like currants, raspberries, sea buckthorn, and blueberries.
How Does a Stem Separator Work?
The primary principle of a stem separator’s operation is based on mechanical friction between frozen berries and sieves. Berries are placed into a special drum, where they rub against each other and the sieves, which have precisely sized holes for each berry type. Through this process, stems are easily separated from the berries, leaving a clean product ready for further processing or packaging.
Interchangeable Sieves for Different Berry Types
Stem separators are equipped with interchangeable sieves, allowing quick adaptation of the equipment for various berry types. For example, to switch from currants to elderberries, it is enough to replace the sieves. This feature simplifies separator maintenance and increases its versatility in production.
Benefits of Using a Stem Separator
The stem separator offers several significant benefits for the food industry. Its use helps optimize the cleaning process of frozen berries, increase the efficiency of production processes, and reduce labor costs. Below are the key advantages of this equipment.
High Cleaning Quality
The stem separator guarantees high cleaning quality thanks to its specific design and precisely selected sieve openings. Each hole is tailored to a particular type of berry, allowing for highly effective stem removal.
Easy Setup and Maintenance
Interchangeable sieves allow for quick adjustment of the separator to process different berries, a valuable feature for businesses working with a wide range of products. This reduces the need for additional equipment and saves time on production line adjustments.
Where is the Stem Separator Used?
Stem separators are used at various stages of production lines in the food industry, particularly in companies involved in freezing and processing berries. They are ideal for preparing berries for juice, jam, puree, and other product manufacturing. Cleaned berries can also be used for freezing or preservation, ensuring high product quality.
Advantages for Large and Small Production Facilities
The stem separator is suitable for both large industrial plants and smaller producers of processed berries. Thanks to its efficiency and ease of use, it is indispensable for any production that values quality and purity.
