Rotor for blades for food processing machines and related process
First Claim
1. A rotor for food pulping and straining machines of the type equipped with a plurality of blades (2) designed to act on the food product to force at least part of it out through a sieve (3) that surrounds the rotor (1), characterised in that the parts of the rotor blades (2) facing the sieve (3) are shaped in such a way as to cause sudden changes of direction in the moving product particles, thus producing a rapid succession of impulses that act on the substantially stationary product particles adhering to the sieve (3), these impulses causing the substantially stationary particles to be detached from the sieve.

Abstract
A rotor for food pulping or straining machines is equipped with a plurality of blades (2) designed to act on the food product to force at least part of it out through a sieve (3) that surrounds the rotor (1) and is characterised in that the blades (2) are shaped in such a way as to cause sudden changes of direction in the moving product particles, thus producing a rapid succession of impulses that act on substantially stationary product particles adhering to the sieve (3), these impulses causing the propulsion of the substantially stationary product particles.

9. A process for propelling food product particles in a food pulping and straining machine equipped with at least one rotor surrounded by a sieve, characterised in that the moving product particles are subjected to sudden changes of direction in such a way that they describe a broken spiral path consisting of relatively short, angled lines;
- these sudden changes of direction producing a rapid succession of impulses acting on the product particles which adhere to the walls of the sieve and which are therefore substantially stationary in such a way as to detach them from the sieve and to put them back into circulation together with the other moving product particles.
