Abstract

A food cleansing machine includes a container for receiving food, a pump for injecting rinsing fluid into the container tangentially, coarse and fine sieves for sifting the food from any impurities, and a discharge device for flushing out the impurities together with the rinsing fluid. The operative surface area of the fine sieve exceeds the operative surface area of the coarse sieve.
