DE2451756A1 - Liquid sedimentation and pressing container - one wall of container closed by elastic diaphragm pressed into the interior - Google Patents

Abstract

The combination liquid-sedimentation and pressing container for substances interspersed with fluid has in its interior pressing devices and also filling and evacuation apertures, the container being rotatable. The container is closed, one wall being closed by an elastic diaphragm which, can be pressed into the interior of the container a sieve being provided in the container.

Description

Liquid settling and press tank addition to patent. ... ... (Pat. Ann. P 23 52 300.4) In the main patent specification is a liquid settling and pressing container for substances permeated with liquid, such as grape, fruit mash or the like. which can have a wide variety of shapes, for example as a cylinder, Mehrecker, Is spherical or the like. Is formed, the container mounted on shaft stubs, 'around its Axis is set in rotation. In the case of the one described in the main patent specification Container is a closed container, the first container bottom of which by means of a print medium into the Pressable interior of the container elastic membrane rist closed, while unm bar in front of the second container bottom and / or a sieve bottom is arranged at a distance from the container jacket. When the media acts on the elastic membrane, it presses the product against the sieve bottom, wherein the squeezed juice is in the between the sieve bottom and the container bottom The juice collecting space formed collects and can be emptied via drain valves. Around To enable laus fende emptying is located in the area of these drain valves a collecting basin or gutter, which receives the draining juice, whereby this then with the help of a pump in a mostly closed saga or fermentation tank is promoted.

The embodiment described in the main patent specification is insofar disadvantageous than by the provided drainage system for the squeezed juice of this is exposed to increased oxidation, so that correspondingly more substances for preservation of the juice it must be added. Another disadvantage is that by the arrangement of the tub or channel as well as an additional pump an es speaking structural effort must be driven.

The present additional invention is based on the structural task To further reduce the cost of such liquid settling and pressing containers and to take advantage of the advantages of the device described in the main patent specification.

This object is achieved in that the sieve-side shaft stub is extended to the sieve bottom and the shaft stub is designed as a hollow shaft is that between the sieve bottom and the second Radial tank bottom extending to the axis of rotation reinforcing ribs are arranged, of which at least a rib completely divides the space between sieve, bottom and shaft stub and In the direction of rotation, perforations are provided in the hollow shaft immediately in front of this rib are.

The invention has the advantage that the squeezed juice in a closed System can run directly through the one for pressing out the mash the membrane applied pressure is promoted to the desired location, namely a mostly closed storage tank or fermentation tank. This will in particular also achieves that the oxidation of the squeezed juice is reduced to a minimum is. Due to the significant reduced structural effort, the manufacturing costs such a press can be significantly reduced.

The invention is in the following description on the basis of a In the drawings illustrated embodiment explained in more detail.

It shows, Figure 1 is a partial longitudinal section through such Container and FIG. 2 shows a cross section along the line A-A in FIG The embodiment shown in the drawings is a container 1 with one facing outwards curved container boaen 9 shown, with this tor Container bottom 9 a sieve bottom 8 is located. This is supported along the axis of the container 1 Sieve bottom 8 on a shaft stub 3 designed as a hollow shaft, which is attached to a Frame 2 is stored.

Between the sieve bottom 8 and the container bottom 9 is located Juice collection room 10.

In this juice collecting space 10 are radial to the axis of rotation, in the present case Embodiment the stub axles 3, reinforcing ribs 15 or 16 arranged, the reinforcement rib 16 with its edges completely on the container bottom 9, the sieve bottom 8 and the stub axles 3 and thus the juice collecting space completely divides this point. The further reinforcing ribs 15 are shorter designed and enable a passage of the juice to the individual rooms. Immediately in front of the reinforcing rib 16 seen in the direction of rotation 17 are in the Axle stub 3 through holes 16 attached through which the squeezed juice over the hollow shaft can flow off.

The container 1, which is driven slowly in the direction of rotation 17, can extend over these bores 18 and the drain 19 completely empty, this emptying is made possible by the reinforcing rib 16, which the juice within the collecting space 10 promotes upwards so that complete emptying is possible. To the process 19 a hose can be connected directly, which is equipped with a storage or Fermentation tank can be connected.
