Feed inlet & metering for fruit crushing

Control what reaches the chamber.

Component study / not a model-specific drawing.

COMPONENT 01

Receive prepared fruit at a controlled rate without relying on operators to force material into an opening.

Input, output and interfaces

Input	Output	Interfaces
Sorted and washed fruit, prepared to the agreed maximum piece size and inclusion policy.	A defined feed stream entering the crushing chamber.	Upstream conveyor height, hopper geometry, access protection and stop signals.

Parameter	Condition to confirm
Feed envelope	Maximum dimensions, fruit shape, firmness and temperature; do not substitute an average size.
Feed rate	Required continuous and peak mass flow on a stated fruit condition.
Inclusions	Stone, stem and foreign-material policy, including the upstream rejection method.
Metering	Hopper buffer and control response when the chamber or downstream stage stops.

Review bridge points, corners, drains and access to the underside of the inlet. Confirm inspection without unsafe reach into moving parts.

The inlet opening is not by itself a permitted feed-size specification. Large or hard inclusions require machine-specific review.
