An apparatus for separating liquid and solid substances, particularly for extracting juice from fruit and the like, such as grapes. The apparatus includes a pressing container into which the product to be separated is fed; the apparatus includes a cylinder which is divided by a flexible diaphragm into a pressing chamber and into a second chamber; the flexible diaphragm is adjacent to a region which is substantially at atmospheric pressure and the pressing chamber is connected to a a mechanism for generating a partial vacuum, so that the diaphragm acts on the product and presses it; the apparatus also includes a collector which is constituted by a fixed connector, which is rigidly coupled to the body of the apparatus; an air intake pipe, which is associated with the pressing container and rotates with it; a radial tubular member, which is associated with the pressing container and rotates with it; a radial tubular member, which is connected to the second chamber of the pressing container and to the air intake pipe and is in turn connected to a fan through an air manifold; an internal coaxial pipe forms an annular chamber inside the air intake pipe; the chamber is connected to the fan and to the second chamber.
