A modulating machine is used to extract and recover the essential oil from citrus fruit such as lemons, oranges, mandarins, grapefruit, etc. not removing their peel, but by microperforating it and disrupting oil cells. The oil thus extracted is trapped in water so as to form an aqueous emulsion. The created machine includes a set of grooved disks () mounted over corresponding supporting axes (); a base structure () on which lower portion there is a transmission set installed, formed by pulleys () and chains or grooved belts () operated by a motor (); a set of supporting axes () provided with alternate axial and rotational movement, by a set of operation members () interconnected to rod () transmitting alternate movement to the connected handles (), alternating to the ends () of the supporting axes (). The machine also includes an emulsion tank () laterally provided with collectors (); spillway (); disk cleaning set () fruit washing and drying unit; and an automatic lubrication system for application of oil and grease at specific points.

A juice extractor includes an extractor frame, at least one inner side panel that divides the interior into a product material area and a drive mechanism cavity. An orifice beam includes an end extending through a beam opening in the inner side panel. An orifice tube is carried by the orifice beam and received within a strainer tube, which is mounted to receive juice and pulp as extractor cups engage together. A drive mechanism is positioned within the drive mechanism cavity and reciprocates the orifice beam to move the orifice tube within the strainer tube. A seal at the orifice beam and the beam opening prevents juice and peel from entering the drive mechanism cavity during extractor operation.
