ABSTRACT:
Pairs of toothed rolls form bights or troughs for reception of whole lemons or other citrus fruit. The rolls turn in the same direction, one roll of each pair turning at higher speed. An axially extending bar moves in an orbit above the faster roll of each pair to contact the fruit intermittently to move it out of the bight between the rolls and into contact with a stationary inclined wall adjacent the slower of the rolls. The motion of the bar moves the fruit axially along the wall to re-enter the bight at an axially spaced location. A pool of water submerges the toothed rolls so that the sharp teeth on the peripheries of the rolls puncture the oil cells in the peel of the fruit to release the oil into the water without seriously damaging the fruit. A single oscillating mechanism provides orbital movement for two parallel bars, each bar cooperating with a pair of toothed rolls.
