Apparatus for extracting flavoring elements from vegetable matter
Abstract
Abstract THE INVENTION COMPRISES A MEANS FOR THE EXTRACTION OF FLAVORING ELEMENTS FROM VEGETABLE MATTER WHEREIN A CONTAINER FOR THE VEGETABLE MATTER IS LOCATED IN A SURROUNDING VESSEL CONTAINING THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF EXTRACTING LIQUID. THE CONTAINER HAS FORAMINOUS SIDE WALLS AND FILTERING MEANS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH. MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR ROTATING THE CONTAINER WITHIN THE VESSEL. ADDITIONAL MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR DRAWING THE EXTRACTING FLUID FROM THE VESSEL INTO THE CONTAINER WHERE, BY CENTRIFUGAL FORCE, THE EXTRACTING FLUID IS CAUSED TO PASS THROUGH THE VEGETABLE MATTER, THE FILTERING MEANS AND THE FORMINOUS SIDE WALLS OF THE CONTAINER BACK INTO THE VESSEL. CONTINUOUS CIRCULATION OF THE EXTRACTING LIQUID BETWEEN THE VESSEL AND THE CONTAINER, THROUGH THE VEGETABLE MATTER, PRODUCES AN EXCELLENT YIELD OF FLAVORING ELEMENTS FROM A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF VEGETABLE MATTER IN A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME.
