A juice pressing machine and methods for pressing juice from a foodstuff includes embodiments having a removable pressing chamber and one or more filters which may be assembled and loaded with macerated foodstuff to form thin layers separated by a pressing plate. Once a juicing operation has been completed, the pressing chamber can be removed from the machine for emptying the pressed filters and solids contents therein. The empty pressing chamber may then be rinsed if needed and reattached to the machine for a subsequent pressing operation with newly filled filter(s). The platen may also be easily removed from the machine for cleaning as desired.

A filter bag assembly for a juice press is assembled from a unitary sheet of fabric and at least one coupling member and/or belt. The fabric sheet is foldable along a transverse fold line and then along left and right fold lines to form a seamless bag having left and right side margins each having four sheet layers. A left coupling member may be arranged to gather at least two of the four sheet layers of the left side margin, and a right coupling member may be arranged to gather at least two of the four sheet layers of the right side margin. Each belt connects the left side margin to the right side margin. Preformed holes in the fabric sheet are positioned to allow the coupling members and belt(s) to be installed to retain the folded bag. The assembled bag is inexpensive and the fabric sheet is replaceable.

The present disclosure concerns units for treating used food packages, more specifically for separation and compactization of used capsules containing edible ingredients residues, such that the units are configured to receive and compact a stack of used food packages, as well as separate food substance residues from the packages during such compaction.

A method and a device for pressing, wherein an extraction agent is fed into the pressing chamber in addition to the mechanical pressing process. The extraction agent serves to extract oil from the press cake and simultaneously to cool the press cake and the pressed oil, so that a high product quality of press cake and oil and simultaneously a good oil yield can be realized.

A juice-extracting drum includes a screw rotating inside. An inner module includes a hollow cylinder with an upper portion having the screw. A plurality of slits are formed as penetration holes having both lateral sides, an upper surface, and a lower surface along an interior circumference. An outer module is detachably coupled to the inner module, and includes a rib protruding in a radially interior direction on an interior circumference. The rib is inserted into the slit of the inner module when the outer module surrounds and combines the inner module. A predetermined fixed gap discharging juice extracted by the screw is formed lengthily in an up and down direction between the lateral side of the slit of the inner module and a lateral side of the rib of the outer module. The fixed gap is formed in a direction intersecting the screw blade.

A device according to various embodiments for preparing wet grain can include at least a first screw configured to receive wet grain. A second screw receives the wet grain from the first screw. At least one of a compressing element and a dehydrating element is included with at least one of the first screw and the second screw to cause a physical property change to the wet grain.

Embodiments related to press machines, including presses to extract juice from food matter contained within a cartridge. The cartridge is compressible by the press and juice can be expelled through a cartridge outlet extendible though the press region.
