Our range of choppers, extractors and refiners boasts some of the premium equipment and machines we are able to showcase in the field of Primary Processing industry. This portfolio includes “the Giubileo Concept”, one of our most efficient and reliable extraction systems, recently renewed and re-engineered by our Technical Department, and the innovative enzymatic inactivation system “Zenith Chrono Concept”.
Zenith Chrono
With numerous and varied applications realized worldwide, Zenith Chrono is the ideal solution for companies that process high quality fruits and vegetables and are willing to optimally preserve the original color, viscosity and organoleptic properties inherent to the fresh product.
OVERVIEW
Zenith Chrono combines the advantages of traditional cold and hot extraction technologies with those related to the presence of an anaerobic environment. The principle of cold extraction prevents the transfer of unwanted aromas and chemicals (present in the seeds and peel) to the final product. This process takes place in the total absence of oxygen so as to slow down the natural enzymatic browning reaction. At the same time, the presence of a hot tank, positioned directly below the extractor, allows the enzymes to be inactivated instantaneously, preserving viscosity and limiting the effects of oxidation on the final product and the subsequent use of ascorbic acid to counteract them.
This multi-technology system is available in various versions, designed and manufactured to process fruit with and without stones without the use of rubber (rubber-free technology). It also comes with an HMI designed to manage all the process parameters of the products being processed.
PRODUCTS: continental fruit (with and without stone), tropical fruit (with and without stone), wild berries, vegetables.
BENEFITS:
- Immediate inactivation of enzymes by dropping the extracted puree directly into the hot mass
- Elimination of ascorbic acid to avoid first oxidation by creating an anaerobic environment
- NO transfer of unwanted colors, black spots, molds, pesticides and chemicals into the pulp
- Defined residence time: no transient heat transfer
- Excellent preservation of flavors and color
- Possibility of obtaining high viscosity products
- No product dilution
- Ability to simultaneously process different varieties of products (e.g. green and red apples) and/or with different levels of ripeness without loss of quality in the final product

Zenith Chrono Concept
Zenith Chrono Concept is the evolution of the first generation of Zenith Chrono extraction and inactivation systems. The Concept version features an improved hygienic design, compact and made entirely of stainless steel. It allows easy maintenance while meeting the hygienic standards of the world’s most stringent regulations. Due to the compact skid-mounted design, this plant can be shipped already assembled and wired, and easily introduced into an existing plant layout. In addition, its conformation allows the skid to be moved to multiple plants to carry out fractional productions according to the customer needs.
PRODUCTS: continental fruit (with and without stone), tropical fruit (with and without stone), wild berries, vegetables.
BENEFITS:
- Compact and highly igienic design
- Immediate inactivation of enzymes by dropping the extracted puree directly into the hot mass
- Elimination of ascorbic acid to avoid first oxidation by creating an anaerobic environment
- NO transfer of unwanted colors, black spots, molds, pesticides and chemicals into the pulp
- Defined residence time: no transient heat transfer
- Excellent preservation of flavors and color
- Possibility of obtaining high viscosity products
- No product dilution
- Ability to simultaneously process different varieties of products (e.g. green and red apples) and/or with different levels of ripeness without loss of quality in the final product

Giubileo is CFT Group’s cold extraction and/or hot refining unit designed in every detail to ensure high performance and maximum flexibility and functionality. Giubileo represents years of experience and know-how in one machine. Thanks to its versatility, it can process a wide range of products, including but not limited to whole or destoned fruits and various types of vegetables, while obtaining final products which meet the highest quality parameters.
PRODUCTS: fruits with/without stones, such as, tomatoes, apples, strawberries, fruits with stone pits such as peaches, apricots, tropical fruit, vegetables and roots such as carrots and potatoes, seeds such as mustard.
BENEFITS:
- ELIMINATION OF PEELING WHEN PROCESSING FRUIT WITHOUT STONES which ALLOWS A REMARKABLE REDUCTION IN WASTE AND PRODUCT OXIDATION
- Rubber-free technology that prevents the unwanted transfer of gum into the product, which occurred in the traditional extraction system
- CONSTANT OUTPUT: SUCH AS WHEN PROCESSING APPLES, GIUBILEO CAN ATTAIN 96% OF FINISHED PRODUCT WITH JUST 4% OF WASTE, USING A 0.8 MM SCREEN
- INTEGRITY OF SEEDS AND STEMS, THUS AVOIDING TASTE ALTERATION DURING HEATING AND THE PRESENCE OF SPECKS IN FINAL PUREE
- NEW ADJUSTMENT PARAMETER – PADDLE PITCH INCLINATION – enables FINE Settings OF THE MACHINE; this results in different residence times of the fruit inside the unit which allows to obtain products according to the customer’s specifications
- REDUCTION IN POMACE HUMIDITY

Giubileo Concept is CFT Group’s historic destoning/extraction/refining system, downsized and completely redesigned.
PRODUCTS: fruits with/without seeds such as tomatoes, apples, strawberries, fruits with stones such as peaches, apricots, tropical fruits, vegetables and roots such as carrots and potatoes, seeds such as mustard.
BENEFITS:
- Compact: giubileo concept is downsized compared to the traditional size ranges, to cover small flowrates
- Extremely hygienic: thanks to its completely renewed design, the giubileo concept is more easily cleanable in place compared to other machines
- 100% food compliant and eco-friendly: thanks to the new “rubber free” destoning system, there is no traditional rubber roll, since the destoning process is all stainless steel
- Modular: giubileo concept can be customized depending on the types of fruits being processed. The star valve completes the anaerobic process and the hammer crusher allows the pitting of the fruits, the pre-grinding or the destoning

Eldorado Long-Run
Thanks to its high recirculation flow-rate and the special geometry of its patented heat exchangers, the Eldorado Long-Run system can run at its maximum efficiency over long periods of time (over four weeks without intermediate clean-up), even in the presence of foreign bodies such as weeds, leaves, vines, etc. mixed together with the product.
PRODUCTS: tomato that needs enzymatic inactivation between 85°C and 110°C.
BENEFITS:
- final Product with very high viscosity
- Preservation of organoleptic properties and colour of the final product allowed thanks to the vacuum process (when Installed).
- Non-stop production (up to 5 weeks without intermediate clean-up and without risk of clogging)
- Very low maintenance cost
- Processing capacity from 450 t/hour to 12.000 t/hour

Tube nest heat exchanger
The tube nest heat exchanger is a patented cold break/warm break/hot break treatment system for enzymatic inactivation of tomato.
Due to its tube nest structure, it allows products with different viscosities to be treated in an extremely flexible manner.
A single passage and a temperature between 55° C and 75°C (cold break) are necessary to obtain low-viscosity products, while high-viscosity products can be obtained by simply increasing the temperature (85°- 110°C) and applying a recirculation pump (hot break).
PRODUCTS: depending on the type of product to be obtained, enzymatic inactivation can be carried out between 55°-75° C for cold break or between 85°-110° C for hot break
BENEFITS:
- FLEXIBILITY OF HEAT TREATMENT (POSSIBILITY OF TREATING PRODUCTS WITH DIFFERENT VISCOSITIES)
- PRESERVATION OF THE ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES AND COLOR OF THE FINAL PRODUCT
- NON-STOP PRODUCTION thanks to the tubes diameter used in the tube nest that avoids clogging
- VERY LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS
- High flexibility in terms of PROCESSING CAPACITY thanks to modular installations of the tube nest
- Ease and speed of transformation from cold break to hot break production and viceversa
