  • Patent number: 4363265
    Abstract: Apparatus for separating the juice and pulp or residual matter of fruit or vegetable material comprises a case having a substantially conical bore. The case has a material inlet opening on the top which communicates with the wide end of the bore; a juice outlet opening (with a filter therein) on the bottom which communicates with the bore; and a residual matter outlet opening on one side which communicates with the narrow end of the bore. A motor-driven rotary member is rotatably mounted in the bore. The rotary member has a spiral cutting blade portion for cutting the material into pieces and a spiral pressing portion connected to the spiral cutting blade portion for pressing and squeezing the cut pieces to extract the juice therefrom. The rotary member cuts material entering through the inlet opening into pieces, and feeds the pieces toward the narrow end of the bore while squeezing the pieces to separate the juice and the pulp or residual matter.
