A disintegrating member, e.g. in form of a cutting disc is connected with said spindle and there is further a feeding hopper mounted concentrically on said casing and above said cutting disc. There is a pressing member for feeding foodstuffs in direction towards said cutting disc, the inner of said hopper being provided with radially directed members forming a number of sector shaped spaces. According to the invention said hopper is provided with a number of slits for receiving a number of vertically located walls, said walls being detachably and/or rigidly arranged, the vertical, towards the center of said hopper directed parts of each of said walls extending optimally only to near the center line of a possible extension of said spindle to forming upwardly as well as in direction to the center of said hopper open sector shaped spaces. |
