ABSTRACT:
An improved juice drainage system is incorporated into the mash line of juice processing equipment. Fruit or other mash is pumped through a relatively large-diameter, generally horizontal mash pipe. A plurality of relatively smaller-diameter tubes or juice drainage elements are inserted into and intersect the mash pipe in generally perpendicular orientation at selected points along its length. These drainage elements include screens or other openings forming a drainage surface, preferably on the "downstream" side of the elements, so that juice from the mash flowing through the mash pipe passes through the openings and into the drainage element. The size and shape of the openings can be designed to control the juice drainage rate from any particular drainage element. In addition, the drainage elements themselves can be specifically sized, placed, and/or oriented along the mash pipe to impart the desired mixing characteristics to the flowing mash.
