Abstract

Citrus fruit pressing devices, apparatus and methods are disclosed. Several features that can reduce the incidence of rupturing oil pockets in the fruit peel can be employed to improve the taste of the juice pressed from the fruit. One feature includes cutting (307) the peel at least partly along a circumference of the fruit to reduce rupturing of oil pockets when the fruit is flattened and the surface of the fruit is folded over. Another feature includes utilizing a curved knife, which can provide a relatively deep cut and a smooth expansion of the peel. According to other aspects, juice extraction can be improved by employing one or more protrusions in a surface of the pressing element to press areas of the fruit in which the peel of the fruit is not present. Another aspect is directed to using the pressing speed to control the pulp content of the juice.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is directed generally to juice extractors and more particularly to citrus fruit pressing apparatus, devices and methods. Background technique [0002] Well-known examples of citrus fruits are oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruits. Citrus fruits are, for example, eaten fresh, pressed into juice or preserved in jams. The present invention provides a solution in the field of juice extraction from citrus fruits. Various types of citrus fruit pressing devices are known, ranging from hand-operated devices comprising a convex pressing surface surrounded by a channel for receiving juice from pre-cut halved citrus fruit, to suitable for Fully automated unit for extracting juice from citrus fruits without human intervention. [0003] Squeezing citrus fruits by hand is quite a hassle. An additional disadvantage of this procedure is that it is almost impossible for the user of the hand-operated device to keep his / her hands clean. Also, ...
