A beverage vending machine includes at least one outer casing with at least one magazine for accommodating agricultural products of fruit and vegetables. The machine is functionally associated with at least one device for centrifugal juicing of the agricultural products to obtain a centrifugally juiced fraction that can be utilized outside the casing. The centrifugal juicing device includes at least one element for the automatic pressing of at least one agricultural product to be subjected to centrifugal juicing against a rotating reference surface, affected by a component for automatically shredding the agricultural product supplied by the magazine for its optimum centrifugal juicing.

1. A beverage vending machine, comprising at least one outer casing, provided with at least one magazine for accommodating agricultural products of the type of fruit and vegetables, functionally associated with at least one centrifugal juicing device of the agricultural products, in order to obtain an extract that can be utilized outside said casing, wherein said at least one centrifugal juicing device comprises at least one element for the automatic pressing of at least one agricultural product to be subjected to centrifugal juicing against a rotating reference surface, affected by means for the automatic shredding of the at least one agricultural product, supplied by said magazine, for its optimum centrifugal juicing, wherein said element comprises a linear actuator that can be actuated automatically by a respective control and management unit, during the rotation of said reference surface, for transition from a first inactive extreme position, in which it is spaced from said reference surface, to a second active extreme position, in which a pestle supported by an end of said actuator faces and is proximate to said reference surface and is at least partially accommodated in a chamber for containing the agricultural product, and vice versa, during the transition from said first extreme position to said second extreme position the at least one agricultural product introduced in said chamber being pressed against at least one respective reference surface, wherein said centrifugal juicing device comprises a substantially frustum-shaped rotating tank accommodated coaxially in an external pot, said tank and said pot are closed partially by an upper lid, said pestle being movable along a direction that coincides with an axis of said tank and being accommodated coaxially, in said second extreme position, in a guiding sleeve that defines, together with said reference surface, said containment chamber, and wherein said magazine comprises at least one drawer that faces a chute that is inclined toward an opening that is provided in said lid and defines an inlet for said sleeve, said at least one drawer being provided with an automated movement assembly, actuated by said control and management unit, for transferring one by one the agricultural products toward said inclined chute and said centrifugal juicing device. 2. The vending machine according to claim 1, wherein said tank being open in an upper region, at a larger face thereof, and being closed in a lower region, at a smaller face thereof, by a floor, which constitutes said reference surface. 3. The vending machine according to claim 1, wherein said magazine is constituted substantially by a plurality of drawers that are arranged mutually side-by-side and are distributed on a plurality of respective planes, each one of said drawers facing said chute and being provided with a respective said assembly, comprising a wire that is wound helically around a track for the agricultural products, which is accommodated in the respective said drawer, each one of said wires rotating about the corresponding said track for the movement of at least one agricultural product arranged along said track between two consecutive turns of said wire wound helically. 4. The vending machine according to claim 1, wherein a lateral surface of said frustum-shaped tank is constituted by a metal sheet provided with a plurality of holes, for filtering substances obtained during a rotation of said floor as a consequence of the pressing and shredding actions, and for a substantial separation of a liquid part, which constitutes the extract, from a pulp and a peel, which define centrifugal juicing waste. 5. The vending machine according to claim 4, wherein a folded lip of said metal sheet, provided at said larger face of said tank, resting rotatably on the open upper rim of said pot, said pot having, on its bottom, a manifold associated with a channel, and leading to a nozzle for dispensing the extract, obtained by filtration through said metal sheet. 6. The vending machine according to claim 5, wherein between one portion of said lip and said lid there being an interspace that faces a vessel for collecting centrifugal juicing waste, which rises progressively along said metal sheet, during the rotation of said tank, up to said lip, and the fall by gravity into said vessel.
