Screw Type Fruit Juice Extractor for Apple Juice Processing

Product introduction for Screw Type Fruit Juice Extractor

Screw type fruit juice extractor machine is an efficient solution for extracting juice from a wide range of fruits and vegetables. The equipment uses a spiral screw system combined with a perforated filter screen to crush, press, and separate juice from solid residues continuously.

During operation, raw materials enter through the feeding hopper and are pushed forward by the rotating screw. As the internal pressure increases, juice passes through the filter screen into the collection chamber, while pulp and waste materials are discharged separately.

Made from high-quality stainless steel, the machine features a hygienic structure, easy cleaning, and reliable performance for food processing applications. The adjustable pressure system allows optimized juice extraction according to different raw materials. It is widely used for apple juice, pineapple juice, orange juice, pomegranate juice, vegetable juice, and other commercial beverage production processes.

Working principle

The screw type fruit juice extractor works through the rotation of a spiral screw inside a perforated screen chamber.

Fresh fruits or vegetables are first fed into the hopper. The rotating screw pushes the materials forward while gradually reducing the internal space, creating compression pressure. Under this pressure, the juice is separated from the fruit pulp and flows through the filter screen into the juice collection area.

The remaining solid residues are continuously pushed toward the discharge outlet and removed from the machine. By adjusting the pressure plate clearance, operators can control the extraction intensity and achieve better juice yield according to different raw materials.

Working Process

Raw Material Feeding → Spiral Screw Crushing → Pressure Extraction → Juice Filtration → Juice Collection → Residue Discharge

Equipment Structure

The main components include:

1. Feeding Hopper

Receives fruits and vegetables and guides materials into the extraction chamber.
