Definitions

  • Patent No. 3,070,140 is disclosed an apparatus for shaving or slicing the peel of citrus fruit, the apparatus being primarily designed for separating the oil-bearing llavedo layer from the remaining portions of the citrus peel. The flavedo layer portions are then delivered to another apparatus, such as a screw press or the like, for the removal of the oil. While the system has been found to be a considerable advance over former methods and has been utilized in the industry, it is subject to the disadvantages attendant to the use of two separate machines, such as the requirement for considerable floor space, transfer equipment and some losses of oil values during the transfer and subsequent processing.
  • a primary object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved apparatus in which the peel slicing and oil extraction operations are carried out in a single unit.

  • the citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges or grapefruit
  • the citrus fruits is cut into halves and the juice and pulp extracted therefrom in any convenient manner, such as in a citrus juice extracting machine.
  • Suitable machines are disclosed in Patent No.
  • the peel halves or the segments slide down the chute 17 and are drawn into the bite 23, the albedo portions thereof being impaled by the ribs 25 0f the particular rollers 20 faced by the albedo.
  • the roller thus grips the peel and conveys it to the knife blade a which cleanly separates the peel along a plane parallel to the upper and lower surfaces thereof, thus separating the peel into the flavedo layer and albedo layer.
