Apparatus, system and method for cold pressing juice from a food including a food delivery chute, a food grinder, and a pressing chamber which may removably fit together as a single, stand-alone unit.

Apparatus for grinding food

Partial or whole food hopper, grinder and cold press counter-top juicing machine, system and method

Various juicing devices, systems, and methods are disclosed. The juicing device has a removable grinder assembly. The removable grinder assembly can be quickly and conveniently decoupled into individual components. The juicing device has a removable press chamber that can be quickly and conveniently removed from the juicing device.

Juicing devices with a removable grinder

A juice pressing machine and methods for pressing juice from a foodstuff includes embodiments having a removable pressing chamber and one or more filters which may be assembled and loaded with macerated foodstuff to form thin layers separated by a pressing plate. Once a juicing operation has been completed, the pressing chamber can be removed from the machine for emptying the pressed filters and solids contents therein. The empty pressing chamber may then be rinsed if needed and reattached to the machine for a subsequent pressing operation with newly filled filter(s). The platen may also be easily removed from the machine for cleaning as desired.

Juice press apparatus and methods

Juice extraction using multiple pairs of juice extractors and comminutors which reduce the food pieces into successively smaller pieces with juice extraction occurring after each comminuting step. Coarse food pieces are pressed with extracted juice directed to a juice holding tank. The pressed coarse chop food pieces fall into the hopper of a second comminutor which performs a medium chop on the now pressed but still coarse chopped food pieces. The medium chopped food pieces are then fed from the second comminutor into the juice extraction chamber of a second juice extractor whereupon the medium chopped food pieces are pressed with extracted juice directed to a juice holding tank. Any number of comminutor and juice extraction pairs may be used in serial fashion to optimize the percentage of juice extracted in a minimum amount of time.

Method for multi-stage cutting and juice pressing

Method and apparatus for infusing fruits (which may include vegetables) with sugar. The apparatus includes a series of interconnected tanks ( and ). A stratified column of infusing liquor is caused to flow from a tank ( ) via variable output pump ( ) through fruit which is placed within the tanks to cause the fruit to become saturated with sugar. In addition, at start-up, frozen fruit is placed in a warming liquid in the tanks prior to infusing, and the infusing liquor will drive the warming liquid in front of it. Fruit juice is removed from the downstream portion of the infusing liquid.

Method and apparatus for infusing fruit with sugar and for obtaining a substantial juice byproduct

An apparatus for processing fruit in multiple layers which includes improved tank assemblies, each tank assembly including generally parallel sidewalls and spaced apart first and second ends, the sidewalls being provided with one or more openings for loading the fruit to be infused, and the sidewalls also being provided with a plurality of spaced apart discharge ports through which infused fruit may be discharged, the tank assembly further including a plurality of spaced apart screens mounted between the first and second ends for the purpose of separating layers of the fruit which is to be infused. A first conduit assembly is connected to the first end of the tank assembly through which a fluid may be introduced into the tank assembly, and a second conduit assembly is connected to the second end of the tank assembly through which a fluid may be discharged.
