Single-stage or two-stage pulping?

Select a stage arrangement from two questions: what must be removed first, and what finishing duty remains on the accepted stream?

01

Prepared feed

Define fruit, temperature and upstream preparation.

Rotor action + screen surface

Functional illustration; not a machine drawing
02

Through-screen product

Test texture and defects against the product brief.

03

Retained solids

Inspect integrity and useful pulp remaining.

Add a stage for a demonstrated purpose

A second chamber may divide coarse removal and finer finishing, but it also adds a transfer boundary, cleaning access and another set of operating conditions. Compare final quality and each reject stream against a defined single-stage alternative.

There is no automatic capacity or recovery multiplier. Ask for the proposed machine arrangement, actual material conditions, sample method and acceptance criteria.
