FRUIT JUICE EXTRACTOR INCLUDING PEEL OIL AND FRIT SEPARATION FILTER AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

摘要

A fruit juice extractor may include at least one fruit juice extracting assembly for extracting fruit juice and generating a discharge comprising peel oil and frit, and a discharge separation filter positioned below a misfed fruit guide and having a proximal end adjacent the at least one fruit juice extracting assembly and a distal end opposite the proximal end. The discharge separation filter may have a porosity to permit passage therethrough of peel oil while separating the frit, and the discharge separation filter may be positioned at an inclined angle from horizontal so that the distal end thereof sheds frit separated from the discharge. The discharge separation filter permits the peel oil and frit to be separated near the fruit juice extractor assembly instead of downstream therefrom.
