Abstract:Based on the analysis on demands of fruit-vegetable juice processing, and advantages and disadvantages of some typical industrial press machines, the technical solution of a new-type continuous stack-up juice press was presented. The mechanical structure and working principle of the juice press were illustrated in details. Besides that, based on the basic filter-press unit, an experimental machine was created to proof this technological solution. And then experiments with pressing Ralls apples juice were done in the experimental machine. The experimental results show that when the driving motor rotates around 600 r/min, the juice yield rate is 81.16%, and the average value of the pressure force in the entire filter-press passage is about 1200 kilopascal. Meanwhile, the quality of pressed juice is good for preserving most nutrients of raw materials. This is significant to promote the development of agricultural commodities processing industry.
