ABSTRACT:
The machine provides fresh fruit juice by storing and squeezing pieces of fresh fruit. The machine is built with a compartmented cabinet frame that allows for a module construction, each module being removable to allow for easy maintenance and assembly. The various modules that are used to assemble the machine are a storage module for storing the fresh fruit pieces, a feed module which transfers the fresh fruit pieces from the storage module to a squeezing module. After squeezing the juice from the fresh fruit pieces in the squeezing module, the residue falls by gravity into a crushing module which crushes the residue and removes the crushed residue from the machine. The machine also has a refrigerating module to keep the fresh fruit cool and a programable control module to control the modules and the overall operation of the machine. The squeezing module has a rotary portioner which transfers the fresh fruit pieces from the feeding module to a cutting unit. The cutting unit cuts the pieces of fruit so they can be squeezed by the squeezing unit. The juice then flows into a tank. The tank is equipped with a level detector and an overflow device. The squeezer module also has an internal washing unit to wash the cutting unit, the squeezing unit and the tank.
