Liquid Orange: Instant Orange Smoothies

Graeme Davies

Liquid Orange, an appliance for making an instant orange smoothie, was developed by Graeme Davies, an electro-mechanical engineer and MA graduate of the Royal College of Art's Industrial Design Engineering programme.

Liquid Orange works by making a small incision in the skin of an orange and then instantly liquefying the contents turning it into a delicious drink that can be consumed directly from the orange. In short all the goodness of an orange without any need to peel, cut or squeeze.

Unlike orange squeezers that employ pressing methods and simply extract the juice, Liquid Orange extracts the juice, nutrients and fibre from the orange using keyhole surgery principles. This lends itself to the current trend for healthier eating and to the research data that suggests a possible role for citrus fruit fibre and pulp in reducing cholesterol and as a protective against colon cancer.

Fresh, fast and fun Liquid Orange caters to the emerging trend for healthy food fresher, faster, while at the same time eliminating the need for excessive packaging.

Liquid Orange has been designed to use widely available components so that it can be cost-effectively manufactured.

Nothing put in, nothing taken out, ready to drink, ready to dispose, ready to degrade. A patent has been filed and we are seeking potential licensees.

Liquid Orange is a Royal College of Art Selected Work and patent protection has been applied for.
