Abstract
An apparatus for producing juice from a layer of fruit mash including circulating screening belts of a screening belt press, which are guided around drums or rollers of at least one pressing zone jointly forming a meander-like pressing path. The screening belts are guided in a high-pressure pressing zone between at least one pair of stationary pressing rollers and around a pressure roller which is radially movable relative to the pressing rollers. In the pressing position the pressure roller forms a line pressure gap with each of the flanking pressing rollers which acts on the cross-section of the layer of fruit mash.
Claims11
Apparatus which comprises:
- circulating screening belts of a screening belt press for producing juice from a layer of fruit mash therebetween;
- at least one of drums and rollers guiding the screening belts therearound in at least one pressing zone forming a meander-like pressing path;
- a high pressure pressing zone including at least one pair of stationary pressing rollers and at least one pressure roller, wherein the screening belts are guided in the high-pressure pressing zone around both the at least one pair of pressing rollers and the at least one pressure roller, between said at least one pair of pressing rollers and said at least one pressure roller, wherein said pressure roller is linearly toward and away from the pressing rollers;
- and
- means for linearly moving the at least one pressure roller into a pressing position wherein the at least one pressure roller forms with each of the pressing rollers a line pressure gap which acts on the cross-section of the layer of fruit mash.
