Abstract
A rotor for food pulping or straining machines is equipped with a plurality of blades (2) designed to act on the food product to force at least part of it out through a sieve (3) that surrounds the rotor (1) and is characterised in that the blades (2) are shaped in such a way as to cause sudden changes of direction in the moving product particles, thus producing a rapid succession of impulses that act on substantially stationary product particles adhering to the sieve (3), these impulses causing the propulsion of the substantially stationary product particles.

A rotor for food pulping and straining machines of the type equipped with a plurality of blades (2) designed to act on the food product to force at least part of it out through a sieve (3) that surrounds the rotor (1), characterised in that the parts of the rotor blades (2) facing the sieve (3) are shaped in such a way as to cause sudden changes of direction in the moving product particles, thus producing a rapid succession of impulses that act on the substantially stationary product particles adhering to the sieve (3), these impulses causing the substantially stationary particles to be detached from the sieve.
A process for propelling food product particles in a food pulping and straining machine equipped with at least one rotor surrounded by a sieve, characterised in that the moving product particles are subjected to sudden changes of direction in such a way that they describe a broken spiral path consisting of relatively short, angled lines;
- these sudden changes of direction producing a rapid succession of impulses acting on the product particles which adhere to the walls of the sieve and which are therefore substantially stationary in such a way as to detach them from the sieve and to put them back into circulation together with the other moving product particles.
