Targeted at food processors and beverage industry producers of pomegranate juice and arils.
• Fresh Defrost™ Revolutionary food freezing technology that allows freezing of fruit and berries while preserving near fresh-picked quality on thaw, by preventing ice crystals from breaking cell walls. Used by food processors handling strawberries, cherries, and other berries.
• Juran Separator Flagship product separating agricultural produce from unwanted material at 95% efficiency. Suitable for potatoes, onions, flower bulbs, tomatoes, and citrus for the canning industry. Patented in Europe, America, and Australia and marketed globally through Grimme Concern, Climax, and Harriston Industries.
• Hex-Air Management System Microprocessor-based sorting, counting and packing system with Bulb Management technology handling asymmetrical and symmetrical flower bulbs, strawberry plants, leaves, and shoots at up to 3,500 units per hour.
• Electronic/Optic Sorting System High performance sizing and weighing system for fruits and vegetables including apples, pears, peaches, persimmons, tomatoes, avocados, celery, mangos, carambolas, and peppers.
• Watermelon Harvester & De-Seeder Field system consisting of a Rake for harvesting and arranging watermelons and a Pick-Up and Thresher for slicing melons and extracting seeds. Operated by 2-5 workers, replacing 50-70 manual workers. 16 systems in operation in Israel.
• Litchi Treatment System Sulfur-free computerized process that fixes the vivid ruby-red color on litchi fruit, extending color retention from 3 days to 4-5 weeks. Combined with a motorized conveyor and sorting system. Targeted at litchi packers and exporters.

• Thermo-Diffusion Zinc Coating Ecologically friendly corrosion protection process for steel and cast iron parts working in open air, industrial and marine atmospheres. Provides uniform coating over 20 microns thickness without additional mechanical treatment.
• Industrial Water Recycling System Filtration and recycling solution using Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) technology to separate solids from liquids for industrial water reuse. Includes sedimentation tanks, filter press, evaporators, reverse osmosis, and ultrafiltration, with systems resistant to corrosion and aggressive chemicals.
• Single Conveyor Dryer World's most widely used continuous dryer for the food industry, featuring alternating air circulation, product cooling, and multi-zone temperature control for maximum efficiency.
• Multi-Stage Single Conveyor Dryer Single machine with separate drying conveyors and temperature-controlled zones for handling products previously difficult to dry by ordinary techniques.
• Multiple Conveyor Dryer Compact footprint dryer designed for products requiring long drying times without temperature zoning. Ideal for cereals and prepared foods requiring gentle, slow drying.
