The object of the apparatus shown in the accompanying engraving is to effect a separation of the tough epidermis of the sugar cane from the internal spongy pith which is to be pressed. Its function consists in isolating and separating the cells from their cortex, and in putting them in direct contact with the rollers or cylinders of the mill.
