The present invention relates to an automatic fruit squeezing machine, comprising:—a motorised rotating squeezing element (1) for squeezing a pulp of a portion of fruit (F) when rotating about a rotating axis (A1); and—a membrane arrangement (M), comprising a first membrane (2) and a second membrane (3) that define between them a space (Z) to be occupied, in use, by the portion of fruit (F) to be squeezed, in such a manner that the action of squeezing the pulp is carried out when the portion of fruit (F) is pressed against a first side (2a) of the first membrane (2) onto the motorised rotating squeezing element (1), when the motorised rotating squeezing element (1) is in operation and contacting a second side (2b) of the membrane (2). The present invention also relates to a membrane arrangement like that of the automatic fruit squeezing machine of the invention.

An automatic fruit squeezing machine, comprising:
A membrane arrangement for an automatic fruit squeezing machine, wherein the membrane arrangement comprises a membrane at least partially made of an elastic material and configured and arranged to be interposed between a motorised rotating squeezing element of the automatic fruit squeezing machine and a space to be occupied, in use, by the portion of fruit to be squeezed, in such a manner that the action of squeezing the pulp is carried out when the portion of fruit is pressed against a first side of said membrane onto the motorised rotating squeezing element, when said motorised rotating squeezing element is in operation and contacting a second side of the membrane, wherein said membrane is a first membrane, and the membrane arrangement further comprises a second membrane, also at least partially made of an elastic material, wherein said space to be occupied, in use, by the portion of fruit to be squeezed, is defined between said first and second membranes and wherein said first and second membranes are made to confine said space, except for an opening defining a liquid outlet for the expulsion of the juice obtained from the squeezed pulp of the portion of fruit.
