  • Patent number: 5738578
    Abstract: The modular food processing assembly includes a rigid support frame, and two elongated horizontally oriented generally cylindrical rollers being rotatably supported by the frame. The rollers may be provided with a plurality of serrated teeth or compatible ribs and grooves distributed radially and axially about the surface of the rollers, and the rollers are oriented generally parallel to each other. A hand crank is frictionally and removably connected to an end of a roller. Unified translation and compression means or gears connect the rollers proximate the ends of the rollers translating rotation of the hand crank into rotation of the two rollers and farther causing the rollers to be compressed against the food being processed. A clamp assembly is also included which is adapted to secure the frame to a fixed base, whereby when the hand crank is rotated, the food passes through the rotating rollers and becomes processed.
