| Decision | Fruit crusher | Two-stage pulper |
|---|---|---|
| Main task | Reduce prepared fruit into mash | Recover and refine a screened pulp fraction |
| Accepted output | Mash for another operation | Puree selected through the screen arrangement |
| Separation duty | Not a complete pulp or juice separation step | Separate coarse rejects from wanted pulp |
| Selection focus | Feed preparation and the required mash condition | Texture, stage combination and screen aperture |
When both belong in the route
A crusher can prepare suitable fruit for a pulper. They perform successive duties where that sequence suits the fruit; one machine should not be selected as a like-for-like substitute for the other.
What to put in the enquiry
Describe the fruit, hard-stone preparation, incoming rate and wanted puree texture. Keep crusher input and recovered pulp output on separate material bases.
