Comment on I love mango
SGforce@lemmy.ca 1 day agoClear some fruit like mango is really hard. The pulp is thin strands of fibre that clog filters instantly or pass straight through. I have a few contraptions I’m working on to see if I can get a more convenient method, but the only guaranteed way to get it clear so far was using a very tight nylon mesh bag and hand squeezing it. I need something easier for larger batches.
Winemakers use flocculants and other means to bind that kind of impurities. Look in to it - bentonite clay comes to my mind right now.
You want to make the filtering step as easy as possible so use this, let it sit, decant only the clear liquid from top and than use filter on it.
That’s like half the batch.

Fining might be part of the solution too and is usually easier than filtering. You could try using positive and negative charged finings in turn to see which works better.
