Abstract
A tearing mill for comminuting fruits (3) is equipped with a tearing bed (15) with tearing elements (4) and delivery vanes (5) for the fruits (3). Directly upstream of the tearing elements (4) in terms of the delivery direction (v), openings (16) for the comminuted pieces of fruit (8) are disposed in the tearing bed (15). As a result, low mechanical stress on the comminuted product (8) and a small proportion of fine particles are achieved, which improves the yield and output in an ensuing juice extraction operation.
