JUICER CARTRIDGE WITH FLOW DISRUPTOR
Embodiments related to juicing systems including juicers for extracting juice from food matter contained within juicer cartridges are described.
1 . A juicer cartridge comprising:
a liquid impermeable compartment at least partially surrounding liquid containing food matter within a first portion of the compartment;
an outlet associated with the liquid impermeable compartment and fluidly connected with the first portion of the compartment; and
a flow disrupting structure located between the first portion of the compartment and the outlet.
2 . The juicer cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the flow disrupting structure extends at least partially across a width of the liquid impermeable compartment.
3 . The juicer cartridge of claim 1 , further comprising a liquid permeable compartment at least partially surrounding the food matter and at least partially disposed within the liquid impermeable compartment.
4 . The juicer cartridge of claim 1 , wherein an edge of the liquid permeable compartment is located proximate to the flow disrupting structure.
5 . The juicer cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the liquid permeable compartment abuts against the flow disrupting structure.
6 . The juicer cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the flow disrupting structure is centered within the liquid impermeable compartment relative to an axis passing through the outlet.
7 . The juicer cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the flow disrupting structure is at least one of a bond between two opposing sides of the liquid impermeable compartment, and an elongated structure anchored within the liquid impermeable compartment.
8 . The juicer cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the flow disrupting structure is straight.
9 . The juicer cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the flow disrupting structure follows a non-linear path.
