Since this is a machine that does not work continuously and involves dead times of productivity, the hydroextractor
in the basket is less and less used and replaced by the wide squeezer.
The basket hydroextractor (see figure A) is composed of:
a cylindrical stainless steel basket
(see figure B, point 1), closed at the base and perforated
in the circumference for almost the entire height.
When "loading" the basket, be careful to distribute it well
the weight to avoid dangerous imbalances.
The basket rotates on a central pin (fig. B, 2)
driven by an electric motor (fig. B, 3)
at a rate that, depending on capacity
and in diameter, it ranges from 800
at 1500 revolutions per minute.
All the rotating group
is wrapped for protection,
by a metal casing
(fig. B, 4) equipped
of lid (fig. B, 5).
