Abstract: A machine for processing foodstuffs comprising a tank whose position on a support base is determined by a finger projecting from the tank and engaged in a socket in the support base. The support base is part of a housing in which is disposed a drive motor driving a shaft vertically projecting in the tank and supporting appropriate cutters. The tank is covered by a removable cover, and interlocks are provided for preventing the drive motor from being started unless the tank is correctly positioned, the removable cover is locked over the tank and appropriately positioned relative to the tank.

Abstract: The machine comprises a container supported by settable legs so as to make the machine perfectly vertical on its support. The container contains a filter opening into a discharge duct and supporting at its upper portion a cylinder containing at its base a motor and reduction gear assembly driving a central vertical shaft, said assembly being covered by a fixed bottom formed with a radial opening connected to a nozzle emerging above the aforementioned filter. The machine has a disc having at least one boss in relief driven by the shaft and coated on its upper portion with an abrasive layer. The cylinder is closed by a water tight cover through which the products to be cleaned have been introduced while said products are discharged after having been cleaned through a door placed in front of a discharge chute.
