Following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

4. DESCRIPTION

Technical field of invention:
The present invention relates to the field of apparatus for fruit juice processing. More particularly relates to the systems and methods for apparatus for lemon juice integration processing methods.

Prior art:
The health benefits of lemon include its use as a treatment of throat infections, indigestion, constipation, dental problems, and fever, internal bleeding, rheumatism, burns, obesity, respiratory disorders, cholera and high blood pressure, while it also benefits hair and skin care,. Known for its therapeutic property since generations, lemon helps to strengthen your immune system, cleanse your stomach, and it is considered a blood purifier.

The health benefits of lemons are due to its many nourishing elements like vitamin C, vitamin B, phosphorous, proteins, and carbohydrates. Lemon is a fruit that contains flavonoids, which are composites that contain antioxidant and cancer fighting properties. It helps to prevent diabetes, constipation, high blood pressure, fever, indigestion and many other problems, as well as improving the skin, hair, and teeth. Studies conducted at the American Urological Association highlight the fact that lemonade or lemon juice can eliminate the occurrence of kidney stones by forming urinary citrate, which prevents the formation of crystals.

Lemon juice, especially, has several health benefits associated with it. It is well known as a useful treatment for kidney stones, reducing strokes and lowering body temperature. As a refreshing drink, lemonade helps you to stay calm and cool. Lemon fruit juice content: 35% 45%, citric acid content of 6% 7%, fructose 6Brix 8Brix, also rich in flavonoids, vitamin family; Vc, Vb, Vp, pectin and other human health active ingredients required, its content is much higher than all kinds of citrus juice.

Lemon fruit juice is one of the world's drinking water has medicinal value, which is rich in vitamin C, citric acid, malic acid, high levels of potassium and low levels of sodium and other elements, the human body is very useful. It also has to prevent colds, stimulate haematopoiesis, cancer and cosmetic effects. Lemon various components contained, in addition to providing nutrients, but also promote the secretion of proteolytic enzymes in the stomach, Zeng plus the stomach and intestines to help digest the absorption of calcium and other elements. In addition, Lemon also has a cosmetic effect to prevent and eliminate skin pigmentation, leaving skin smooth and soft.

Among those known types of juice extracting machines, it should be cited a very conventional one comprising a vertically arranged electrical motor, at the end thereof a conical member is attached and against which half of any citric fruit is manually compressed. Said motor is housed inside a body generally made of plastic or metal whose top portion includes a receptacle for collecting the juice extracted by the conical member.

The above mentioned kind of extracting machine has dimensions in conformity with specific purposes, such as for domestic use, or for industrial or commercial use. In the case of the first modality of use, it is called a fruit squeezer.
Nevertheless, there are other more sophisticated models intended to process fruit in a mechanical and automatic way, such as disclosed by Patent PI 9005883 for `JUICE EXTRACTING MACHINE` comprising basically a support structure inside which there is suitably arranged a drive unit engaged with a motor reducer assembly sealingly closed in its inner part. The respective axes of said assembly are horizontal to a front face of said basic support structure and are encased with corresponding upper cylindrical and lower prismatic heads; said upper cylindrical heads including concave recesses, while said lower prismatic heads include semi-spherical heads. A cutting blade is mounted between said upper cylindrical heads. Within said upper cylindrical and lower prismatic heads, there is a front cover which is transparent and includes lateral openings, said transparent cover defining a juice extracting chamber.

Despite of the efficiency proven by the machines discussed in the prior art, it is noted the existence of some points to be improved mainly with respect to the improper filtration of lime juice, to reduce human efforts and time consumption. Thus the present invention overcomes the above stated problems.

Object:

1. The primary object of the present invention is to provide systems and methods for cost effective, portable and easy to use apparatus for lemon juice processing machine.

2. Other object of the present invention resides on the fact of providing an improved juice extracting machine having an outline different from the known types.

3. Another object of the present invention resides on the fact of providing the safe method, automatic refrigerating and reduced human efforts in processing the fresh lemon juice.

4. Another object of the present invention is to avoid the improper filtration of lime juice, improper addition of salt & sugar contents and chances of adding adulterated ice.

5. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a quantity of maximum 5 liters and minimum 1 liter of lemon juice in a single operation of the apparatus.

6. It is a further objective of the present invention to provide a lemon juice extracting machine showing a better accommodation for the fruits to be processed thereby improving its functionality.

Other objects, features and advantages will become apparent from detail description and appended claims to those skilled in art.
