I just love these machines.

They’re simplicity itself and anthromorphistic to boot.

Just load the oranges into the hopper from where they’re fed down the stainless steel spiral (top left) to meet their fate in the form of 2 counter-rotating wheels, each with half-orange sized indentations which tenderly embrace the victim.

Zap! They’re sliced in half by the thingy in the middle and – while they’re still wondering what’s happening – up comes one of the 3 presses (one for each half), dejuices them and discards the skin into a waste bin.

I could stand there and watch them all day.

Mind you, I’ve been known to spend a week at the laudromat….
