Bucher-guyer Ag Maschinenfabrik

Alfred Schmid

Hans U Hauser

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.

Apparatus for separating liquid and solid materials

An apparatus for separating liquid and solid materials from one another, especially for the extraction of juice from agricultural products, particularly from fruit, comprising a rotatably mounted press container which is subdivided by a substantially hood-shaped press or squeezing diaphragm into a pressure compartment and a press or squeezing compartment. The pressure compartment possesses an inlet arrangement for the infeed of a pressurized fluid medium and the squeezing compartment is provided with a juice outlet arrangement. At the region of the squeezing diaphragm there are provided outfeed or ejection elements for the product residues, these ejection elements being dispositioned to protrude into the squeezing compartment and extend along sections of a helical or screw line.
