MACHINE FOR EXTRACTING PUREE, OR JUICE, FROM FOOD PRODUCTS OF VEGETABLE ORIGIN AND RELATED PRODUCTION METHOD

摘要

A machine (100) for extracting puree, or juice, from a food product of vegetable origin comprises a hollow body (10) having a longitudinal axis (110) and an inlet (11) for introducing the food product. In the hollow body (10) a first extraction section (20a) and a second extraction section (20b) are provided both having, respectively, a sieve (30a,30b) and a rotor (40a,40b) coaxially positioned within the sieve and having a plurality of blades (46a,46b). The rotors (40a,40b) are caused to rotate by a respective driving group (80a,80b) in order to subject the treated product to a centrifugal force. In this way, in the first extraction section (20a) the division of the product is caused in a first portion, which passes through the sieve (20a), and in a second portion, which does not pass through the sieve and advance along the hollow body (10) up to reach a passage section (15) and, therefore, to enter in the second extraction section (20b). The blades (46a) of the rotor (40a) of the first extraction section (20a) and the blades (46b) of the rotor (40b) of the second extraction section (20b) are positioned at a predetermined distance (d) from each other less than 500 mm. In this way, the second portion of the product moves in the second extraction section (20b) without being deteriorated and without damaging the machine.
