Described is a rosin press system for extract rosin (oil) from plant material. The rosin press system includes a cone-shaped male plate and a cone-shaped female plate formed to matingly receive the cone-shaped male plate. The plates can be heated such that when plant material is pressed between the plates, rosin is pressed from the plant material and allowed to drain from a drain hole positioned at the bottom of the cone-shaped female plate.

A method for the forced dewatering, by pressing, of saline residues produced by drinking water production, or by the treatment of municipal or industrial wastewaters, in which method the saline residues are introduced into the cylinder (12a) of a piston press (12) comprising flexible drains (12e) formed by flexible sheaths from a material that is permeable to liquid but impermeable to solids, each drain (12e) comprising an inner passage that opens into an associated opening (12g), the press operating in batches, and characterized in that during pressing, the piston carries out reciprocal movements and applies alternating and variable pressures to the sludge, while the flexible drains are deformed, the liquid pressed out from the product passing through the wall of the drains and being discharged as a filtrate, while the dewatered sludge remains outside the drains and is discharged by opening the press.

Apparatus for processing organic material is disclosed which breaks down the inedible components of fruit and vegetables (core, skin, pips, pithy material) into an edible substance with a cream-like consistency. The apparatus includes a piston in a barrel for pressurizing the material and forcing it through a passage having a number of end-to-end sections which are at right angles to one another. There is an impact surface at the end of each section on which the flowing material impacts. The sections can be between a sleeve having sections of different diameters and a bobbin the outer surface of which is stepped to match the inner surface of the sleeve.

An apparatus for extracting juice from food matter. The apparatus includes a liquid impermeable compartment having an outer perimeter and a food matter region contained within the outer perimeter. A deployable outlet may be formed in the liquid impermeable compartment outside of the food matter region. A corresponding system and method are also disclosed and claimed herein.

Embodiments related to juicing methods and apparatuses for extracting juice from food matter using juicer cartridges are described. In one embodiment, a juicer cartridge may include one or more separate internal compartments. Food matter loaded into the juicer cartridge may be compressed by a corresponding juicer and expelled through an outlet that may be sealed until activation. Food matter may be pre-sized according to various physical characteristics, and the juicer cartridge may be injected with a gas to enhance shelf life and reduce nutrient loss. The juicer may also be provided with smart functionality to provide safety features, track usage, and enhance the operator experience. Several embodiments of packing systems for preparing juicer cartridges are also described.
