Apparatus, system and method for cold pressing juice from a food including a food delivery chute, a food grinder, and a pressing chamber which may removably fit together as a single, stand-alone unit.

A machine for extracting puree, or juice, from a food product of vegetable origin comprises a hollow body having a longitudinal axis and an inlet for introducing the food product. In the hollow body a first extraction section and a second extraction section are provided both having, respectively, a sieve and a rotor coaxially positioned within the sieve and having a plurality of blades. The rotors are caused to rotate by a respective driving group in order to subject the treated product to a centrifugal force. In this way, in the first extraction section the division of the product is caused in a first portion, which passes through the sieve, and in a second portion, which does not pass through the sieve and advance along the hollow body up to reach a passage section and, therefore, to enter in the second extraction section.

A fruit press has shafts which are mounted in a frame for two pressing rollers, which can be driven in opposite directions, and for two ram heads, which are provided below the pressing rollers and form pressing rams that interact with pressing recesses of the pressing rollers. The fruit press has a blade, which is displaceable in a blade guide between the pressing rollers. The pressing rollers and the ram heads, which can be removed from their respective shafts, are held between a rear wall and a front mount of a handling unit detachably fastened to the frame. To achieve advantageous design conditions, the pressing rollers and the ram heads, which are supported axially on the front mount, are detachably held between bearing projections of the rear wall and receptacles in the region of the front mount.

Appliances useful in extracting a liquid from plant material in the preparation beverages and other food products in the home. An appliance may be embodied in the form of a food processing apparatus having a lid with an entry space formed therein, a rotatable element, and one or more food material contacting surfaces surrounding the rotatable element and disposed below the entry space of the lid. The rotatable element and the one or more food material contacting surfaces are each configured and mutually spatially arranged such that in use a food material disposed about the rotatable element is forced against the one or more food material contacting surfaces. Accordingly, the food material is deformed or divided and is caused or allowed to clear the one or more food material contacting surfaces.

A food processing apparatus (10) is disclosed for reducing a sugar content of a food product (1). The food processing apparatus comprises a food processing compartment (30) including a blade arrangement (28) and a fluid release valve (37); a base (20) including a motor (22) arranged to drive the blade arrangement; a heating arrangement (40, 42) for heating a food product in the food processing compartment with steam, the heating arrangement comprising a water tank (40) in fluid communication with the food processing compartment (30) and a heating element (42) thermally coupled to said water tank and under control of said controller (60; and a controller (60) arranged to control the motor and the heating element. The controller is arranged to control the heating element such as to heat the food product in the food processing arrangement with steam for a defined period of time; and control the motor to blend the food product upon termination of the heating of the food product for said defined period of time and upon releasing steam condensate generated during the heating of the food product from the food processing compartment through said fluid release valve. Also disclosed is a method of for reducing a sugar content of a food product (1) with such a food processing apparatus.

A separator and two methods of separating are described. The separator can include a driver configured for use with a blender, a perforated spindle cup arm, a threaded pass through retainer ring, a mount ring configured to fit a blender base, a lubricated ball bearing, a retainer nut, a mount ring, a housing, a perforated spindle cup, a liquid chute, a basin for liquid collection, a reservoir for dry material collection, a snap ring, a removable cap, a chute for expelling dry material, a hole, and a removable funnel. The method can include grinding material in blender container; placing the separator on the blender base, turning the blender on, and pouring the ground material into the funnel OR placing the peeler component into the cup, turning the blender on, and pouring water and material to be peeled through the funnel.
