Abstract
A tearing mill for comminuting fruits (3) is equipped with a tearing bed (15) with tearing elements (4) and delivery vanes (5) for the fruits (3). Directly upstream of the tearing elements (4) in terms of the delivery direction (v), openings (16) for the comminuted pieces of fruit (8) are disposed in the tearing bed (15). As a result, low mechanical stress on the comminuted product (8) and a small proportion of fine particles are achieved, which improves the yield and output in an ensuing juice extraction operation.
Claims13
An apparatus for comminuting organic substances, in particular for tearing apart fruits, including a stand (11), a tearing bed (15) supported in the stand (11) and having one surface as a travel path for the fruits (3), which path has tearing elements (4) and next to them openings (16) for the comminuted substances (8), the tearing elements (4) protruding above the travel path by a height (H), and including means (5, 13, 33), supported in the stand (11), for delivering the organic substances (3) to the tearing bed (15), and drive means (12) for generating a relative motion between the tearing elements (4) and the delivery means (5) and the organic substances (3), characterized in that the openings (16) in the tearing bed (15) for the comminuted substances (8) are disposed upstream of the tearing elements (4), in terms of the direction of relative motion (v), at a spacing (s) which is less than the height (H) of the tearing elements (4) above the travel path.
