Abstract
Device for the extraction of juices and essential oils from whole fruits, in particular from citrus fruits, wherein it comprises, in combination, a series of cylindrical elements, having a vertical axis, telescopically set with a slight radial clearance, a second series of cylindrical elements, axially aligned with the preceding one and symmetrically disposed at such an interval as to allow for the insertion of a fruit, and means to draw closer said cylindrical elements of the two series in a differentiated way, so as to cause with their edges, a progressive compressive action, substantially distributed all over the fruit surface.
Claims13
An apparatus for extracting juices and essential oils from whole fruits, comprising a first series of vertical cylinders having fruit-contacting edges, said cylinders being fitted with each other with slight radial clearances therebetween, a second series of cylinders axially aligned with the first series and spaced therefrom to allow for the insertion of a fruit between the first and second series of cylinders, and means for moving said cylinders in each series relative to each other to exert a progressive compressive action, substantially distributed all over the fruit surface.
