Abstract: Machine (1) used in plants for making puree or fruit juice starting from vegetable or animal food, such as a rough extractor or a fine extractor, comprising a cylindrical body (2) having an inlet (3) for the product to treat, an outlet (4) for part of product that can be used and an outlet (5) for part of product to dispose of. The product put in the cylindrical body (2) of the machine (1) is pushed by centrifugal force of a plurality of blades of an armature (6) to pass through a sieve (7) having holes (8) and having a cylindrical or conic shape. The armature (6) is wheeled by a motor through a shaft (15). The machine (1) has a plurality of holes or nozzles (11) suitable for supplying in the sieve (7) a flow of washing liquid, for example water or diluted juice, in longitudinal direction, or radial direction, with respect to the machine (1), so that the blades of the armature in quick rotation forced it by centrifugal force against the inner surface of the sieve.

Abstract: A rotor for food pulping or straining machines is equipped with a plurality of blades (2) designed to act on the food product to force at least part of it out through a sieve (3) that surrounds the rotor (1) and is characterised in that the blades (2) are shaped in such a way as to cause sudden changes of direction in the moving product particles, thus producing a rapid succession of impulses that act on substantially stationary product particles adhering to the sieve (3), these impulses causing the propulsion of the substantially stationary product particles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a procedure and a device for the treatment of a product containing pulp destined for the extraction of juices and purees. The procedure subjects the product to be treated to a series of compression stresses in rapid succession, to reduce the product consistency and to increase its tendency to peel from its skin. The device which performs the above procedure comprises two shaped moving walls defining internally a cavity inside of which the product to be treated flows. The procedure and the device offer excellent pulp treatment results while avoiding the necessity of heating the said pulp before separation between puree and scrap.

Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for the extraction of juice and puree from tomatoes, fruit and other produce having certain essential features, namely: a rotor with specially shaped vanes arranged in such a way as to invest the bulk of produce with a turbulence which speeds and enhances the process of extraction, as well as improving a high percentage yield per unit of bulk foodstuff; an inflow device having one fixed and one rotary component which guarantees a uniform break and a steady, even flow of broken produce to each rotor vane; a collection chamber separated into two or more distinct stages each with a relative outlet; a strainer having perforations to suit the individual extraction stages of the machine; and means for the removal of foodstuff which accumulates on the outer surface of the strainer featuring utilization of a part of the extracted juice recycled under pressure.
