| Decision | Pulper / refiner | Belt juice press |
|---|---|---|
| Wanted product | Screened pulp or puree | Expressed juice |
| Working method | Recover through selected screening stages | Drain and express juice along a belt and roller path |
| Reject stream | Coarse rejected fractions | Pressed solids |
| Configuration focus | Screen apertures and desired texture | Mash drainage, pressing arrangement and belt cleaning |
Let the product lead the choice
A puree route retains an accepted pulp fraction. A pressing route collects expressed juice. The wanted product and suitable fruit preparation determine the recovery duty before downstream treatment is selected.
Do not compare unrelated rates
Incoming fruit, mash, screened puree and collected juice describe different boundaries. Compare proposed equipment using stated feed conditions and separate recovery outputs.
