PROCÉDÉ DESTINÉ À ENLEVER DES PRODUITS RÉSIDUELS ISSUS D'UN PROCÉDÉ D'EXTRACTION DE JUS OU DE PURÉE D'UN LÉGUME OU D'UN ALIMENT D'ORIGINE ANIMALE, ET APPAREIL ASSOCIÉ
A method for removal of waste material in a process for extracting puree, or juice, from a starting product based on vegetable or animal food comprising a step of feeding a measured amount of starting product to a machine for extracting puree (101). The starting product can be pre-treated, for example softened (102), and then subject to an extraction step (103), obtaining a main product comprising the puree (104), which is discharged via a first outlet (41), and a waste material that is discharged via a second outlet (42) (105). The waste material is then mixed with a measured amount of a liquid, for example water, obtaining a heterogeneous mixture (106). The heterogeneous mixture can be thus easily removed by suction, for example by a hydraulic pump (107) connected to the second outlet, to be quickly withdrawn from the extraction section avoiding the risk of jamming the machine at the second outlet.
