A juice extraction module for a juicer is provided, which includes a container formed with a juice discharge port, a sieve positioned inside of the container, a screw positioned inside of the sieve to extract juice from a material, and a lid coupled to a top end of the container and formed with a input port through which the material is input. The juice extraction module includes a crushing portion formed on a top end of the screw to be narrowed upward, the crushing portion having a crushing blade formed thereon; and a crushing processing portion connected to the input port and formed in a bottom of the lid to be concave for accommodating the crushing portion.

A method of extracting one or more chemical extracts from a plant product includes mixing at least a first phytochemical-bearing part of a phytochemical plant product with an oil-bearing plant product, producing an oil mixture from the first phytochemical-bearing part and the oil-bearing plant product using a press device, and extracting at least a chemical extract from the oil mixture.

A vertical separator for the treatment of slurry includes a screen device with a vertical axis provided with a screen, a feeding device provided with a pump to feed the slurry to a screen device, a discharge device for the liquid part of the slurry, and a discharge device for the solid particles of the slurry. The screen device houses a counter-pressing device which is designed to generate a force which partially counters the pushing action exerted by the pump upon the slurry.

Embodiments of the invention concern a supercharger (1) for feeding honey and beeswax mixture into a honey and beeswax separation screw, which comprises at least a filter pipe (3), a pipe connection fitting (4), an inlet pipe (7) for honey and beeswax mixture and an inlet pipe connection (6) for the honey and beeswax mixture inlet pipe. In an embodied supercharger, the pipe connection fitting (4) is connected radially to the side of the filter pipe (3) and to the other end of the pipe connection fitting is connected the inlet pipe (7) for honey and beeswax mixture using the inlet pipe connection (6) for the honey and beeswax mixture inlet pipe.

A low speed seed oil expeller press with the capability of extracting oil through a new seed compression design that eliminates the need for filtration, and maintains the captured seed oil at a temperature below 130 degrees F. It has a seed preheating capability and controls the pressure and extraction oil temperature by adjustments of the expeller speed, the head volume and the size of the pressed seed exit orifice in the thorn. The seed oil expeller press eliminates seed rotation within the head volume so as to eliminate crushing, grinding or tearing of the seed by a symmetrical knived press head. The seed oil expeller press regulates seed temperature, seed feed rate, seed pressure, seed rotation and extracted seed oil temperature so as to compensate for the seed size, seed hardness and seed oil content.

A dewatering device for removing entrained solids and debris from a liquid stream includes a housing defining a chamber. An auger has a first end positioned outside the chamber and a second end positioned inside the chamber. A compaction zone includes a first tube fixed to the housing. A second tube is slidably mounted on the first tube. A partition is secured to the second tube and has a first longitudinal position in the housing allowing a solids plug to form in the compaction zone and a second longitudinal position in the housing preventing the solids plug from forming in the compaction zone.

A juicer includes a housing being open to top and including an annular first flange on a top and at least one lower juice spout on a peripheral surface, and a support on a bottom; a filtering mechanism in the housing and including longitudinal ridges on an inner surface, screens each disposed between two adjacent ones of the ridges, annular second flanges on an outer surface, a first rim extending downward from the lowest second flange, and at least one port through the first rim; a rotating mechanism in the filtering mechanism and including an annular element on a bottom edge, a helical screw blade on an outer surface, and an electric motor for rotating the screw blade; and a feed chute on the housing and including an annular member on a bottom edge and a second rim extending downward from the annular member.
