Sweeper and filter assembly for beverage preparation machines comprising a sweeper associated with a filter, the sweeper comprising a carrier band mounted on at least two shafts. The carrier band can perform the filtering function itself as it is made from a filtering material or is provided with suitable orifices. The carrier band is flexible and preferably elastic. The shafts on which the band is mounted are supported by a casing, where at least one of said shafts engages a drive element comprising a motor and an electronic device for managing the motor. At least one scraper is provided joined to the casing in order to clean the carrier band. The motor of the drive element is independent from the motor of the juicing machine, the device having sweeping and filtering cycles independent of the juicing cycles of the main machine.

The subject application is directed to a food processing device to extract juice. The device includes an inlet coupled to a disintegrator. The inlet is configured to accept food items and the disintegrator configured to disintegrate food items passed through the inlet. The device further includes a separator that accepts the disintegrated food items and separates out the liquid components from the food item. The device further includes a reservoir that is coupled to the separator for accepting and holding the liquid components. The reservoir includes a translucent member for viewing of liquid levels within the reservoir, and a valved outlet. The valved outlet is configured to allow or prevent the flow of liquid from the reservoir through the valved outlet.

A juicer having a juice extracting screw assembly, in which a housing with a juice extracting screw installed in the housing has a simplified interior structure, thereby reducing the production cost of the juicer and easily dispensing juice and residue separately using respective passages.

The present disclosure provide a food processor, comprising: a base assembly; a food processing cup can be mounted on the base assembly, and including a cup body and a working screw rotatably mounted in the cup body, the cup body can be used to store food juice, and a first slag outlet is provided on the cup body or a second slag outlet is provided in the cup body; a feeding assembly is sealed and mounted on the cup mouth end of the cup body; a slag receiving device is hermetically connected to the first slag outlet for collecting food waste, or the slag receiving device is located in the cup body and connected to the second slag outlet for collecting food waste; a sealed cavity formed between the cup body, the feeding assembly, and the slag receiving device to conduct them to each other; and an extraction assembly can communicate with the sealed cavity and is used for extracting air in the sealed cavity.

A multi-lemon squeezer that is comprised of a frame that supports a gear train and a rack guide. A rack is held within the rack guide and the rack has a press on a bottom end of the rack. The bottom of the press defines a plurality of outward conical structures. The frame defines a base that supports a receptacle that has a removable cover. The removable cover defines a plurality perforated cups that receive the plurality of outward conical structures of the press. A lever attaches to the gear train to provide the force needed to move the rack downward to squeeze any lemons held within the plurality of perforated cups of the removable cover.

A cover element for at least partially covering a vessel opening of a preparation vessel of a food processor and/or a cover opening of a vessel cover for the preparation vessel, wherein the cover element has a radially outwardly facing support edge to be supported on the preparation vessel and/or vessel cover. The support edge has a continuously curved base contour viewed in the axial direction, and has at least two support elements, which lie opposite each other, are separate from each other and protrude over the base contour. The support elements extending in an imaginary circular ring surface that reaches from a radially outer edge of the support elements up to the base contour are identically designed on both opposing sides viewed in the axial direction and formed in the same plane extending perpendicular to the axial direction.

A juicing machine comprises an electric motor; a variable frequency drive configured to control the speed of the electric motor; a juicing mechanism that has at least one extraction assembly that operates cyclically to extract juice; and at least one sensor that determines the position or positions of the extraction assembly during a cycle.

The invention relates to a citrus press comprising an enclosure for receiving fruit to be squeezed, an extensible and inflatable membrane to compress the fruit fitted onto the cannula in order to extract the fluid therefrom, and a cannula including an inner duct connecting a perforation to an outlet orifice for the removal of fluid from the cannula. The citrus press further includes a displacement device for moving the cannula in translation relative to the enclosure, between an active position in which the cannula extends into the enclosure to fit the fruit and a release position in which the cannula is under the enclosure to allow the release of the squeezed fruit through a lower opening of the enclosure.
