Abstract: A juice extractor is disclosed for juicing fruits and vegetables including a base containing an electric motor, a cutting disk, openings for introducing the fruits and vegetables for obtaining the juice and extracted pulp, a filter basket for collecting the pulp and a device for controlling the flow of pulp from the filter basket. The device enables the pulp to be squeezed to obtain a high yield of juice. The wet pulp below pushes on the drier pulp and forces it out.

Abstract: A juicer having a positively rotated cutting disk for comminuting the product to be juiced is disclosed. A centrifuging disk is mounted on the same spindle as the cutting disk, but via ball bearings so that it rotates independently of the cutting disk. The centrifuging disk supports a basket which collects and centrifuges the pulp of the comminuted product. Since the basket and the cutting disk rotate at different speeds, the pulp is evenly distributed around the basket, minimizing vibration and increasing the yield. Juice drains off a depending wall of the cutting disk into an annular groove in the centrifuging disk and then out radial channels. The rotational speed of the centrifuging disk is retarded by fins which interact with the cooling air for the motor.
