ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for extracting juice from raw juice containing material is disclosed. The apparatus includes a supporting housing, a pair of meshing helical gears (2,3) for crushing the raw juice containing material to initially extract juice therefrom and with each helical gear terminating in a tapered screw. A sieve (4) is operatively positioned around the helical gears and each of the tapered screws with the sieve being branched (47,48) with each branch housing at least a portion of one of the tapered screws, respectively. Each branch of the sieve has a terminal end with a discharge outlet formed thereat to enable each of the screws to further extract juice from the crushed raw juice containing material by compressingly moving the crushed juice containing material along one of the branch portions of the sieve and toward one of the discharge outlets formed in the sieve. An outlet disc (7) is positioned at the discharge outlets and is biased in a closed position thereby taking advantage of the compressive forces to further squeeze juice from the crushed material until the force tensioning the tensioned outlet disc is overcome and such material is discharged from the housing. A power means (1) supplies rotational output to the helical gears and the tapered screws.
