ABSTRACT:
A juice extractor includes first and second cups being relatively movable along a reciprocal path of travel to compress fruit therebetween during juice extraction. The extractor also includes a first cylindrical cutting blade within a first cup bore in spaced relation from adjacent portions of a first plurality of fingers of the first cup to define a peel clearance for ejecting portions of a fruit peel therethrough. The extractor also includes a second cylindrical cutting blade within a second cup bore, and being received within the first cylindrical cutting blade during juice extraction. The first cylindrical cutting blade preferably has an inner diameter in a range of about 0.990 to 1.010 inches, and a wall thickness in a range of about 0.068 to 0.088 inches. The second cylindrical cutting blade preferably has an outer diameter to be received within the inner diameter of the first cylindrical cutting blade to thereby produce a desired relatively high yield and juice quality.
