ABSTRACT:
A compact juice machine (10) of simplified design, the individual elements being simplified to a bare minimum in an easily cleanable package. The machine includes a frame having spaced apart side walls (14, 16) which support front and intermediate rigid platen walls (18, 20) and an upper wall (22) to the rear of the intermediate wall. A press chamber (24) is defined by the forward portion of the side walls and the platen walls. A shredder assembly (36) including a rotatable disk (44) is mounted above the upper wall and a drive motor (48) is mounted below the upper wall, the drive motor having a drive shaft (54) coupled to the shredder disk. A hopper (34) is mounted on the upper wall above the shredder disk. A press chamber cover (38) extends over the press chamber, the cover being provided with a discharge chute (112, 114, 116) on its lower surface to direct shredded material from the shredder disk to the press chamber. A moveable platen (28) is disposed within the press chamber, and a pair of hydraulic cylinder assemblies (142, 144) are connected to the moveable platen. A filter bag assembly (32) is used having first and second spaced apart pulp receiving portions (162, 164) and an intermediate saddle portion (166) capable of being supported by the upper surface (126) of the movable platen. A filter assembly (40) is carried by the frame below the press chamber for additionally filtering juice. The compact juice machine further includes an electrical controller (42) for controlling the operation of the hydraulic cylinder assembly and the shredder.
