METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF JUICE FROM FRUITS SUCH AS POMEGRANATES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the production of juice from fruits (1) such as pomegranates. The method comprises the following steps: the fruit (1) is fragmented and the fruit parts are caused, in a rotating drum (8), to fall from the upper region of the drum (8) to the bottom of the drum (8). In the fall, juice sacs (5) are separated from skin (2) and inner partitions (4). The juice sacs (5) fall through perforations in the circumferential surface (10) of the drum (8) and are conveyed further to a workstation (14) for pressing the juice sacs (5) for obtaining a fruit juice. The remaining parts of the fruit (1), i.e. skin (2) and inner partitions are discharged out from the short side (12) of the drum (8).
