Finish & clarify
Juice clarification module
Define the clarity objective and actual feed pretreatment before selecting a separation system.
Product-specific separation for a clear-liquid target
Equipment catalogue / Equipment duties
Pulp and juice finisher | Fruit Processing Equipment
Set the retained pulp, fibre and seed boundary before specifying the finishing assembly.
Control coarse or unwanted fractions
- Input
- Extracted liquid or prepared pulp with defined coarse material.
- Output
- A controlled retained fraction and a separate reject stream.
Working principle
Finishing separates according to the actual machine geometry and operating conditions. Screen description is one input to the specification. The acceptance sample must demonstrate the wanted edible fraction and the limits on unwanted material.
Texture
Specify retained particles or pulp with a measurement method. Do not assume that all coarse material should disappear.
Loss accounting
Measure accepted product and rejected material on the same mass/volume basis and note any wash additions.
Downstream fit
Check the passages, rheology and particle limits of the next treatment or filling device.
Material and operating limits
Coarse finishing is not automatically clear-juice clarification or a microbial removal claim.
Inlet, outlet and installation interfaces
Define inlet consistency and pressure, product/reject collection and cleaning returns without cross-contamination.
Cleaning and maintenance
Inspect screen condition, seals and rotor clearance according to the supplied design; arrange safe removal and cleaning.
Compare this duty
Compare equivalent finishing assemblies on a matched feed and retained-fraction specification. Clarifiers are a different task.
