Patent ID: 8557316

Claim:
A method for influencing the pulp content of a fruit or citrus juice so that a sufficient amount of pulp is accumulated to flow over a separation plate of a separator, the method steps comprising: providing a separator having a separator plate; continuously separating a juice of a pulp phase in a centrifugal field of the separator, the juice including a pulp content having been fed into the separator and the pulp phase being discharged from a drum of the separator through a pulp discharge line; measuring a density of the discharged pulp phase by a density flow-through measuring device; controlling a controllable device in accordance with a density measurement by the density flow-through measuring device thereby influencing the density of the pulp phase and providing a sufficient amount of pulp to flow over the separator plate; and controlling a first peeling disk of the separator, the first peeling disk configured to control the discharge of the pulp phase from the separator.
