A method for producing a screen body for a screen used in a screw press, which screen body comprises one or more openings on a screen surface, In order to achieve a particularly long service life, it is provided that the screen body is formed by a sintering process and/or an additive manufacturing process, in particular a 3D printing process. Further embodiments include a screen, in particular for a screw press, having a screen body which has openings on a screen surface.

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 juicer insert for inserting into a preparation vessel, which juicer insert includes at least one rotatable tool holder, including at least one adapter element and at least one juicer tool. The transmission of rotational force the adapter element is configured at least indirectly couplable with the tool holder. The juicer tool is connected to the adapter element, so that a rotation of the adapter element causes a rotation of the juicer tool.

Various examples of a system for generating a densified product are provided. The system may include an extruder device and a liquid extraction section. The liquid extraction section may receive a material from the extruder device for densification and may then retain solids while permitting extraction of liquids as the material passes through the liquid extraction section under pressure. In various instances, a series of features forms at least a portion of the liquid extraction section and operates to retain the material on one side of the rods while permitting liquid to pass to another side of the features.

A waste processing system and method for improving compaction and/or separating organics and liquids from waste material. An elongated extrusion screw and/or an adjustable compression gate may be provided to improve the compression of waste material. An improved extraction tube may also be provided to facilitate separation and removal of organics and other liquids from the compressed material. At least one sensor may be provided for sensing an increasing accumulation of waste material awaiting to be processed. An exemplary embodiment may also be adapted to add dry fraction to a waste load that is wet with organics or other liquids to improve compressibility. A system and method may also be adapted to automatically adjust to improve compression of the material and facilitate more efficient production.
