Apparatus for separating liquid and solid materials

摘要

An apparatus for separating liquid and solid materials, especially for extracting juice from agricultural products, particularly from fruits, comprising a rotatably mounted press container subdivided by a substantially hood-like press or squeezing diaphragm into a pressure compartment and a press or squeezing compartment. The pressure compartment has an inlet arrangement for a pressurized fluid medium and the squeezing compartment has a juice outlet arrangement. The juice outlet arrangement possesses drainage channels at the solid-wall, preferably dome-shaped section of the container located opposite the squeezing diaphragm. The drainage channels are formed by substantially trough-shaped elements provided with perforations and arranged in spaced relationship from one another at the inside of the wall of the container.
