ABSTRACT:
A juicer having a positively rotated cutting disk for comminuting the product to be juiced is disclosed. A centrifuging disk is mounted on the same spindle as the cutting disk, but via ball bearings so that it rotates independently of the cutting disk. The centrifuging disk supports a basket which collects and centrifuges the pulp of the comminuted product. Since the basket and the cutting disk rotate at different speeds, the pulp is evenly distributed around the basket, minimizing vibration and increasing the yield. Juice drains off a depending wall of the cutting disk into an annular groove in the centrifuging disk and then out radial channels. The rotational speed of the centrifuging disk is retarded by fins which interact with the cooling air for the motor. According to the invention, the basket rotates at a somewhat slower speed than does the cutter disk and the pulp accumulated on the basket walls will be less dense as compared with an apparatus where the basket rotates at a higher speed than the cutter. Therefore this will permit the juice to pass through the pulp more easily and thereby increase the yield.
