No yield claim
Extraction depends on the fruit, mash, press and operating conditions. The value you enter is an assumption, not a result from this site.
MASS BALANCE
Fruit in. Juice out.
Water removed.
A preliminary mass balance using your own measured or declared assumptions. No fixed apple yield is built in. The result connects to the route, the equipment duties and the enquiry.
THE EQUATIONS
Pressed juice = fruit input × extraction fraction
Finished juice = pressed juice × (1 − finishing loss)
Concentrate = finished juice × inlet solids ÷ outlet solids
Evaporated water = finished juice − concentrate
YOUR CALCULATIONPRELIMINARY
Your calculation basis
Enter the fruit input and an explicit extraction fraction to begin.
Carry this basis into an enquiryAssumptions: 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.
WHAT THE RESULT DOES NOT SAY
A balance is not
an equipment guarantee.
The calculator is a planning aid. It does not select a press, size an evaporator or predict shelf life.
No evaporator design
Water removal is only the first number. Heat transfer, effects, vacuum, viscosity, fouling and aroma need a full design.
No finishing guarantee
Clarification and filtration losses depend on the process. The finishing loss input is your assumption.
No shelf-life claim
Treatment, filling, package and storage validation remain separate from the mass balance.
USE IT IN THE PROJECT
From a number to
a useful brief.
Carry the basis into the route and equipment discussion. The enquiry form preserves the assumptions as a preliminary note.
