The invention relates to a reduced-size citrus-fruit-squeezing machine of thetype that make use of sets of male/female rotating drums. The inventivemachine is characterised in that it comprises a single female drum and asingle male drum, an auto-orienting blade and a pendulum system which isused to support the turning part and which dispenses with the need for asecond set of drums, by turning the fruit half that remains after cutting inthe direction of the next upper cavity of the female drum. In addition toproviding the same range of services as larger-sized squeezing machines,the machine also offers improved hygienic conditions owing to the provisionof the support pendulum, a ribbed fruit inlet, a peel receptacle and a built-injuice container, which are isolated from the exterior. In this way, themachine is particularly suitable for use in hotels that lack space.
