CLASS 88: Pressing.

in NEW YORK.

Extraction of juice and fibers.

The innovations relate to such machines, in which the pressing of the plant matter between the convex surface of a rotating roller of circular or nearly circular cross-section and the concave surface of a part partially surrounding the roller Jacket of almost semicircular cross-section, which is either immobile or and is swinging takes place.

In the accompanying drawing, the machine is shown with an immovable jacket by FIG. 1, 2 and 3, while the reciprocating shell machine in FIG. 4 and 5 is shown.

Fig. Ι is the side view,

Fig. 2 is a cross section,

3 shows the basic outline of the machine with an immovable shell.

Fig. 4 is a view and partial section of the machine with the jacket swinging back and forth and

Fig. 5 shows the outline of the latter machine.

In the case of the machine with a stationary shell, A represents the lower box for collecting the priced juice and A ^{1 represents} the side frames of the machine. B is the shell composed of segments of metal, stone, hard wood or any other suitable material.

The juice can flow into the box A through the spaces α α α. The jacket can, however, also be made of one piece, in which case it is provided with holes for the sap to drain off.

C is the shaft supporting the roller. For this purpose it is provided with cross-arms C ¹ , on the circumference of which the convex part of the roller is screwed by means of screws b .

The surfaces of the shell and the roller are not smooth, but ribbed or on other Way rough made.

Depressions c are made in the ribbed surface of the roller, the area of which, however, is smaller than that of the raised parts or swellings located between the depressions. There can be any number of such depressions on the roller.

When, as the roller rotates, these indentations reach the upper edge of the shell opposed, they form cavities or funnel-shaped with the concave surface of the mantle Extensions or pockets into which the plant substances to be squeezed out with ease drawn in and so crushed between the rough surfaces of the shell and the roller so that the sap is separated from the fibers or other remaining parts will.

DD ¹ are feed rollers which are connected to one another by the wheels dd and are mounted on the side frames A *. The roller D is provided with a wheel Z> ² and is driven by a drive e from the shaft E

drove. The latter is rotated by means of the pulley E ¹ and rotates at the other end a drive / which engages in a large wheel F by which the cylinder C ^{2 is set} in rotation.

G is the table for the laying on of the plant materials, from where they are pulled through the rollers DD ¹ and crushed, in order to then reach the lower board G ¹ , over which they get between the roller and the jacket and are priced out .

On the opposite side of the shell and above the lowest part of it lie the two rollers HH ¹ connected to one another by the wheels gg . These are driven by the drive g ¹ from the great wheel F; the crushed and priced material passes over the edge of the shell and the board H ² between the said rollers in order to come out of the machine on the other side of the rollers over the edge of the box A.

// are two arms in which the shaft C of the roller C ² is supported.

These arms are provided at one end with eyes through which the shaft E passes, so that it forms the axis of rotation of the arms.

At the other end, each arm is attached to the side frame of the machine by a bolt g ² and nut g ^3.

Above the arm, buffers or springs g ^{i are} placed under the nut g ^s , so that the roller can yield to the pressure of the material pressed between it and the jacket.

This pressure can be made smaller or larger as desired by screwing the nuts g ^{s on or off.} Adjusting screws g ** are used to limit the downward movement of the arms /.

The juice that has been priced out flows through the tube h from the bottom of the box.

The construction of the machine with movable jacket, Figs. 4 and 5, is as follows:

JJ are the side ^{parts of the frame and / 1} the lower juice container.

K is the axis of the rotating roller, mounted in open bearings, which is rotated by the shaft X ^s by means of the wheel K ^x and drive K.

The pulley K ^ sits on this drive shaft. The roller is composed of spiders on which convexly curved segments Jt ^e are fastened by means of screw bolts i ^1. These segments can be made of metal, hard wood, stone or other material.

Z is the jacket, which can consist of one of the above materials, of one Pieces or composed of concave segments and either with or without holes is made for the juice flowing through.

The surface of the roller, as well as that of the shell is ribbed, serrated or on some made rough a way.

L ¹ are lever arms, each of which is firmly connected to the two upper ends of the jacket Z by the screw bolts jj.

In these arms the openings Z ^{2 are} attached, in which openings the sleeves Z ^{3 are} loosely inserted. These sleeves Z ³ are mounted on the shaft K of the roller and remain immobile during the rotation of the roller.

Each bushing consists of an inner ring k and an outer ring k ^x , between which a ring £ ^{2 made} of rubber or some other elastic material is inserted.

The set screws IP P and P screwed into the arms press onto the outer ring of the Z ³ bushing.

If you screw these adjusting screws outwards or inwards, you can adjust the jacket in any direction with respect to the roller. The rubber rings P create an elastic cushion between the roller and the jacket, so that the pressure between the pressing surfaces is variable.

M and M ¹ are the tables for feeding and discharging the material into and out of the jacket. The levers Z ¹ have their points of support on the sleeves Z ^{3 of} the shaft K; their ends are connected by the arms N to the eccentrics N ^{1 of} the drive shaft K * . This causes the upward and downward swinging movement of the jacket.

The roller does not need to have a continuous shaft, but only pins at each end, over which the bushings Z ^{3 are} mounted. The bearings i of the frame are drawn without a cover because there is no upward pressure on the shaft or the pin K.

The two kinds of machines act in the same way on the plant matter, which one entered into the machine on one side to be entered on the opposite side the same to come out.

When pressing dry plant matter, you don't need a box to collect the Juice.

If the stems, leaves, or other parts of fibrous plants are used, the If you want to win fibers by pressing, the box is filled with water or a special one filled with a solution prepared for taking up the fiber.

If only juice is to be priced out by the machines, the remaining fibers and other substances are used for different purposes.

So z. B. When pressing sugar cane, the residue can be used as fuel will.
