Solution for peeling pomegranates

Recently, pomegranates are gaining popularity not just for their appealing appearance and unique taste, but also for offering various health benefits. Researchers report that the pomegranate is a rich source of healing properties; therefore, it was declared a Super Fruit. Pomegranate arils and by-products are used as ingredients for medications, dietetic and pharmaceutical products. Nutritious, delicious fruits are also enjoyed as garnishes, toppings for salad and desserts, juices or else on their own. Despite all this, the pomegranate is not exploited and consumed to the full extent because of the laborious process of arils extraction.

"Of course consumers can get the arils out manually, but we have a better way," says Avner Galili from Juran Metal Works. "Companies have to consider if consumers buy the pomegranate and don't know how to handle, they won't buy it again."

Juran Metal Works offers a different way of pomegranate processing, a profitable technology with clear advantages in labor economy, efficiency and hygiene. ArilSystem is an industrial solution that challenges commercial manual extraction method that is still used by various enterprises around the world. Manual processing requires a lot of manpower, while each ArilSystem extracting unit substitutes approximately 50-120 employees, enabling a highly accelerated production rate with labor reduction.

Another significant advantage of ArilSystem is hygiene and quality. Manual processing is of questionable hygiene, because every fruit is treated by hand, whereas, Juran's method is highly hygienic: arils are washed and subsequently untouched by human hands, thus extending their shelf-life. The result is an all natural, superior quality pomegranate product with a longer shelf life.

In the course of Juran's process, the fruit is not cut, and minimal damage is caused to arils. The rind is removed under the pressure of the oscillating air jets; arils are water separated from the peels and membranes and, untouched, are further conveyed to the following stages: fresh cut packaging, freezing, juicing, dehydrating, freeze-drying and other applications. This advanced technology provides a high-quality product for marketing. Fresh, intact and ready-to-eat arils are supplied to consumers through big retail chains, hotels & restaurants, health shops etc.

"Juran's ArilSystem Extractor allows extracting pomegranate arils at an unparalleled level of efficiency with minimal seed damage, increased output, and tremendous cost savings which turns into a real profit for growers and producers, but consumers will benefit the most!"

Ready-to-eat arils can be consumed fresh, added to salads, or used as a colorful accent for any meal. Relief from the hassle with pomegranate peeling, makes eating of pomegranates a far more pleasurable procedure.
