Capacity and material balance
Fruit in. Finished juice. Concentrate out.
A preliminary mass balance with your own extraction and loss assumptions. No fixed apple yield is built in.
Your calculation basis
Enter the fruit input and an explicit extraction fraction to begin.
Carry this basis into an enquiry ↗Assumptions: compatible mass-based measurements, no added mass, stated finishing loss, and no soluble-solids loss in evaporation. Brix is an approximation, not a complete engineering model.
The equations behind the result
Pressed juice = fruit input × extraction fraction
Finished juice = pressed juice × (1 − finishing loss fraction)
Concentrate = finished juice × inlet solids ÷ outlet solids
Evaporated water = finished juice − concentrate
