Name each incoming stream
Record the pineapple lot, maturity assessment and time after preparation. Keep a peeled-flesh route separate from a preparation line that also handles shell, eyes or cores. A crusher and belt press do not establish an automatic crown, peel or core-removal supply scope.
| Checkpoint | Record for the quotation | Handoff |
|---|---|---|
| Crown and root | Removal method; responsible operation | Accepted fruit at inspection |
| Shell and eyes | Removal specification; allowed carryover | Defined crusher feed |
| Core and trimmings | Included, separated or blended; measured proportion | Traceable feed lot |
| Foreign matter | Inspection/rejection step and collection point | Released material for crushing |
Separate preparation from extraction
Specify whether reception, washing, inspection and preparation conveyors are included or already available. Photograph the actual feed handoff and note container size, discharge height, access and the route for preparation rejects. A machine layout can then define these interfaces.
Why fruit form belongs in the brief
FAO describes pineapple juice streams arising from different preparation operations and explains how shell or core components can affect the juice. Use this qualitative context to define a test lot; historical processing examples do not establish a new line specification.
