Abstract

TOP CUTRIC FRUIT SHELL CUTTER TO REDUCE ESSENTIAL OIL IN JUICE DURING FRUIT CRUSHING. Citrus fruit peel cutter for reducing the essential oil in the juice during squeezing, where an axial opening (2) was made along its entire length that connects the radial openings (3) located at the bottom of the which coincides with the cutting zone (4) such that pressurized water enters through this axial opening (2) and is expelled through the radial openings (3), cleaning the cutting zone (4) as that pressurized water enters through this axial opening (2) and is expelled through the radial openings (3), cleaning the cutting zone (4) and with the water that is expelled along with the citrus fruit impurities through the outlet tubes sides (5). In addition, changing the cutter (1) is not necessary to move away the cups holding the citrus fruit as the cutter (1) is secured to the cup holder (9) by a side screw (7), hook, pin or similar device thanks to an opening made in the cup holder (9) that coincides with a peripheral cavity that the cutter (1) has at the top for this purpose, thus avoiding the need to disassemble the cup holder (9) to replace the cutter (1).

Description

"EFFICIENT FRUIT SHELL CUTTER TO REDUCE ESSENTIAL OIL IN JUICE DURING THE ACT OF

SPREAD THE FRUIT "

0bj§tive

The object to which this invention relates is protected by this patent which

It consists of a cutter of the upper peel of citrus fruits to reduce the essential oil in the juice during the act of squeezing the fruit, whose purpose is to reduce the essential oil present in citrus juices. This in turn allows for easy assembly and disassembly without the need to remove the entire glassware system as it was in previous cases.

The known procedure for squeezing fruit juice, especially citrus fruits, is to place the fruit in a machine that performs this function. For this purpose the fruit is channeled to some lower cups that receive the fruit.

when the upper glasses are at their highest point, allowing the fruit to be lodged deep within the lower glasses. This positioning in the lower cups is achieved by rotating rods that are synchronized with the position of the upper cups.

Two cutters (one upper and one lower) then make a circular incision in a cone or disc shape on the top and bottom of the fruit,

respectively, to allow the juice to exit through the filter tube located below the cups towards a juice collector when the upper and lower cups compress the fruit.

It is in this top cutter where the nacasca essential oil cells present in the fruit break down. This essential oil is what causes bitterness in citrus fruits,

and thus the importance of being able to reduce this to the maximum so that it does not come into contact with the juice at any time. The problem with this oil reduction system in citrus juices is that the water that should remove the peel oil in the peel zone is pushed from the edge of the fruit, so that only a partial elimination of essential oil is achieved.

In the prior art, the upper cutter is related to the cup holder

PI0802139-2 by the top portion of the top, which means that any change in the gripper involves the decoupling of the cup holder that is held on the stem of the holder; This causes the two cups holding the citrus fruit above and below to separate, resulting in a waste of time during the change process. Description of the Invention

The purpose of the invention which is the subject of this patent application consists in the elimination of some functional and structural problems in the known object, which was designed and developed in accordance with this priority objective.

The advantage of the new embodiment is that an axial opening has been made along the entire length of the upper cutter that connects the radial openings located at the bottom of the cutter and coincides with the cutting zone, such that pressurized water enters through this axial opening and is expelled through the radial openings, cleaning the cutting zone with water that is expelled along with the impurities of the fruit (pulp, peel, and essential oil) through the side outlet tubes, making it possible in each working cycle, ie At each cut of a new fruit keep the work area completely clean for the next use.

To change the cutter that is the subject of the patent, it is not necessary to remove the eyeglasses holding the citrus fruit, as the cutter is attached to the coper's holder by a screw, hook, side pin or similar device thanks to an opening made in the bearer. of the cup that coincides with a peripheral cavity that the cutter has in the upper part for this purpose, thus avoiding the need to disassemble the scope holder to replace the cutter.

Brief Description of the Drawings

To complement the description of the invention and to facilitate the interpretation of the structural and functional characteristics of its object, drawings are attached hereto which schematically show a preferred embodiment of the upper cascade cutter which eliminates the essential oil during juice extraction constituting the uncapping object. In these drawings:

Figure 1 shows different views of the upper citrus peel cutter. Figure 2 shows a partial section of the assembly formed by the stem, cutter and upper cup.

Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the above assembly. Description of a Preferred Embodiment

To clearly show the nature and scope of the advantageous application of the citrus peel topper for reducing the essential oil in the juice during the squeezing of the fruit, which is the object of the claimed invention, below is a description of its structure with reference to the drawings representing a Preferred realization of this object for informational purposes only should be considered in the broadest sense of the word and not as limiting the application and content of the claimed invention.

For this purpose, an axial opening (2) was made along the entire length of the upper cutter (1) which connects the radial openings (3) located at the bottom of the cutter (1) and coincides with the cutting zone (4), such that pressurized water enters through this axial opening (2) and is expelled through the radial openings (3),

cleaning the cutting zone with water that is expelled along with the impurities of the fruit (pulp, peel, and essential oil) through the side outlet tubes (5), making it possible for each working cycle, ie at each cutting a new fruit keep the work area completely clean for the next use.

To change the cutter (1) that is the object of the patent, it is not necessary to remove

the cups holding the citrus fruit, since the cutter (1) is secured to the top holder by a screw (7), hook, side pin or similar device thanks to an opening made in the cup holder (9) that coincides with a peripheral cavity (8) which the cutter (1) has at the top for this purpose, thus avoiding the need to disassemble the cup carrier (9) to replace the cutter (1).

Claims (2)

1. Upper area fruit cutter for reducing essential oil in the juice during the squeezing of fruit, of the type used on belt-feeding machines which align them to separate individual treatment between two fields , where two cutters, one upper and one lower, make an inlet to remove the juice, FEATURED by the axial opening (2) to have been made along the entire length of the upper cutter (1) which connects the radial openings (3) located at the bottom of the which coincides with the cutting zone (4), such that pressurized water enters through this axial opening (2) and is expelled through the radial openings (3), cleaning the cutting zone (4) with water which is expelled along with the impurities of the citrus fruit (pulp, rind, and essential oil) through the side outlet tubes (5), making it possible in each working cycle, ie in the eorte of a new fruit to keep the work area with completely clean for the next use. Upper fruit case cutter for reducing the essential oil in the juice during squeezing the fruit according to claim 1, characterized in that the cutter (1) is secured to the cup holder (9) by a side screw ( 7), hook, pin or similar device by means of a cup holder opening (9) that coincides with a peripheral cavity (8) that the cutter (1) has at the top for this purpose.
