pulper

Paper mill machine

A pulper is a machine that reduces material to pulp—soft, wet, fibrous mass.

In papermaking, pulpers break down wood chips or recycled paper into slurry.

In food processing, they separate fruit flesh from seeds and skins: The coffee pulper removes the outer cherry from the bean.

In waste management, pulpers process organic material for composting or disposal.
