Abstract
The present invention relates to a masticating separator for separating fruit or vegetable juice from fruit or vegetable pulp. The masticating separator comprises a housing (), an inner wall () in the housing (), an auger () rotatably mounted in the housing (), a cavity () defined between an outer surface () of the auger () and the inner wall () to receive pulp and juice, and a juice passageway () separated from the cavity (). An elongate aperture () is formed in the inner wall () extending between the cavity () and the juice passageway (). Therefore, when the auger () is rotated about its longitudinal axis to urge pulp and juice along the cavity (), juice in the cavity () is urged to flow through the aperture () to the juice passageway ().
