ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for enhanced juice extraction from citrus fruit, the apparatus being of a type including an annular carousel with circumferentially arranged cups, a rotary reamer assembly smaller than the carousel having circumferentially arranged reamer elements arranged in tangential relation with the cups of the carousel at a maximum reaming position, a device for supplying halves of citrus fruit to the cups for processing and for subsequently removing reamed citrus skins, drive dogs being mounted on the reamer assembly between each adjacent pair of reamer elements and shaped so that they radially and circumferentially engage and position the cups in precise alignment with the reamer elements at the maximum reaming position in order to assure optimum extraction of juice from the citrus fruit. The drive dogs also include base surfaces for engaging the cups parallel with the axis of the carousel and reamer assembly for maintaining minimum spacing between the cups and respective reamer elements at the maximum reaming position.
