Abstract: A press for citrus fruits has a press head, which executes a press stroke and includes two accommodating dies, each for one fruit half. The dies are arranged on either side of a blade and are pivoted in opposite directions via parallel shafts between an upper accommodating position and a lower pressing position. Rams are assigned to the press head and interact with the dies in the lower pressing position A discharging device for discharging the skins of the pressed fruit halves. Includes a comb whose fingers engage in grooves of the rams. The grooves are oriented in the direction of the parallel shafts. The comb is displaceable between a lower starting position, with fingers lowered in the grooves, and a discharging position, with fingers raised above the rams and sloping down toward the shafts to a discharging opening.
Abstract: The invention relates to a press for citrus fruits, having a press head (4), which executes a press stroke and comprises two accommodating dies (10), each for one fruit half, which are arranged on either side of a blade (14) and can be pivoted in opposite directions via parallel shafts (11) between an upper accommodating position and a lower pressing position, and having rams (18) which are assigned to the press head (4) and interact with the accommodating dies (10) in the lower pressing position, and having a discharging device for discharging the skins of the pressed fruit halves, In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the discharging device for the skins of the pressed fruit halves comprises a discharging comb (22) whose fingers (23) engage in grooves (24) of the rams (18), which grooves are oriented in the direction of the shafts (11) of the accommodating dies (10), and the discharging comb (22) is displaceable between a lower starting position, with fingers (23) lo
