EQUIPMENT SELECTION GUIDE
Guava Pulp, Puree or Beverage Base: Equipment Differences
Understand how texture, extraction and recipe additions change guava equipment selection without confusing fruit pulp with a formulated beverage base.
Pulp and puree need a texture definition
Commercial names overlap. Define accepted fibre, body and hard-particle condition instead of relying on the label alone. One double-stage pulper/refiner can provide extraction and subsequent refinement, with screens and operating duty selected around the agreed product.
A recipe creates a different product boundary
Water, sugar and other ingredients change product composition and finished quantity. A formulated beverage base needs measurement and blending in addition to the supplied pulp route. Do not use finished-base volume as the fruit-extraction recovery figure.
Homogenizing is separate from screening
High-pressure homogenization may support dispersion in a suitable prepared recipe. It is not a substitute for removing uncontrolled seeds and coarse material upstream. Decide mixing and homogenization separately according to the product response.
Keep treatment and package connected
Pulp, puree and formulated bases can have different flow and thermal behaviour. Provide recipe and viscosity conditions with the packaging requirement so the treatment module and final handover are chosen for the actual product.
