Specify the material actually entering the press
State whether the project starts with whole fruit or accepted arils. Record preparation losses separately so an extraction result is not mistaken for a whole-fruit recovery result.
Aril condition, membrane carryover and consistency affect the working layer on the belts. Use representative feed when comparing a pressing arrangement.
Compare a complete pressing duty
Assess feed distribution, belt and roller arrangement, juice drainage and residue removal together. A nominal machine description alone does not establish juice quality or a fixed extraction recovery.
- Record aril input, collected juice and wet residue over the same run.
- Compare the agreed colour, suspended material and sensory criteria.
- Include belt washing and accessible residue removal in the layout.
Connect extraction to the next liquid operation
Use a buffer or process vessel to manage a defined flow difference, not to conceal an unresolved bottleneck. Specify the juice outlet, transfer pump and downstream inlet as a connected duty.
Clarification is a separate selection based on the required juice character. Not every juice route needs all available separation machines.
