Definitions

  • This invention relates to pneumatically-operated presses and in particular to wine presses including a cylindrical drum the interior of which is sub-divided into a pressing space accepting material to be pressed and an air space defining a space into which air under pressure is introduced to cause a membrane between the spaces to move towards the pressing space.
  • German patent specification 29 45 254 describes a pneumatically-operated wine press in which two such air spaces are provided.
  • high stresses are induced in the drum of the wine press particularly when the pressed residue is loosened after a pressing operation since the residue falls on the membrane and on the drum and the drum may become distorted.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an improved pneumatically-operated press which is structurally sound and which achieves this structure without significant cost penalties.
  • a pneumatically-operated press which comprises, a rotatable cylindrical drum having its axis of rotation disposed horizontally and having end walls, flexible membrane means sub-dividing the interior of the drum into a pressing space and two air spaces, the pressing space extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum and accepting material to be pressed, and the air spaces extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum and defining spaces into which air under pressure is introduced to cause the membrane means to move towards the pressing space, connecting means for connecting the longitudinal edges of the membrane with respect to the drum, and the drum including a radially inwardly directed portion extending between the end walls of the drum, the membrane means including two membranes each having one longitudinal edge supported by first connecting elements on a side wall of the drum and another longitudinal edge supported by second connecting elements in relation to the drum whereby the air spaces are located between the membranes and the drum, and is characterised in that the second connecting elements are carried on smooth supporting walls defining the inwardly-directed portion of the drum, the supporting walls defining internal walls
  • connecting means for connecting the longitudinal edges of the membranes to the side walls of the drum are in the form of connecting strips fixed to said side walls.
  • the longitudinal edges of the membranes supported on the side walls of the drum may lie in a plane passing through the axis of rotation of the drum.
  • a pneumatically-operated wine press includes a cylindrical drum 3 which is rotatable about its central longitudinal, horizontal axis.
  • the drum 3 has end walls 15 at opposite ends of the drum and over one half of its surface 22 (the lower half, as shown) the drum is formed with a plurality of circumferentially extending rows of slots 14 through which juices from the contents of the drum, for example grapes or other fruit, drain during a pressing operation.
  • the drum also includes an opening (not shown) through the slotted wall 22 of the drum for receiving a charge of material to be pressed, in known manner.
  • the slotted walls 22 of the drum constitutes substantially one half of the total circumferential area of the drum.
  • each membrane 10 and 11 Internally of the drum 3 is located connecting means for two longitudinally arranged membranes 10 and 11 disposed symmetrically in the drum and comprising flexible but substantially non-stretchable sheet material.
  • Each membrane 10 and 11 includes longitudinal edges extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum and in each case one longitudinal edge is fixed to the wall of the drum by a connecting strip 12 or 13 which locates said edge between the strip 12 or 13 and said wall so that the edges lie in a plane containing said axis.
  • the other edges are fixed towards the axis of rotation of the drum, that is, the edges are located radially inwardly of the wall of the drum, by connecting strips 8 and 9.
  • the connecting strips 8 and 9 are secured to generally radially extending walls 6 and 7 whose radially outer edges are fixed to the wall of the drum, the walls 6 and 7 presenting a generally triangular cross-section, and the strips 8 and 9 lying at the apex of the triangle.
  • Longitudinal edges of the membranes 10 and 11 are fixed between the strips 8 and 9 and the radially inner ends of the walls 6 and 7 and the walls present a smooth inner surface against which the membranes engage before and after a pressing operation (as shown).
  • the walls 6 and 7 and the strips 8 and 9 together define a triangular support 4 for a longitudinal edge of each membrane 10 and 11.
  • the walls 6 and 7 extend between the end walls 15 of the drum 3 and interconnect said walls 15 and this serves to make the drum more rigid. Further connecting strips (not shown) connect the membranes 10 and 11 to the inner sides of the end walls 15 of the drum.
  • the membranes 10 and 11 by their sealed connection to the cylindrical wall of the drum, to the end walls 15 and to the support 4 define two air spaces between the membranes and the associated walls 6 and 7.and the associated portion of the drum wall.
  • the air spaces are of their minimum size.
  • the membranes are moved towards the slotted wall 22 of the drum until they take up the position shown in chain lines in Fig. 1, in which position the membranes engage the slotted wall 22.
  • the material in the pressing space, from which juice is to be extracted is put under pressure and the juice passes out of the drum through the slots 14.
  • the membranes 10 and 11 will not press against the slotted wall 22 at least over their whole area because of the presence of material in the drum, but the positioning of the strips 8 and 9 and 12 and 13 and the sizes of the membranes 10 and 11 is selected to ensure that, in each position, the membranes are free from folds and free from tension.
  • Fig. 2 is shown a similar press to that of Fig. 1 but in this case the support 4 is of a different form.
  • similar parts to those of Fig. 1 are given the same reference numbers.
  • the support 4 is still of generally triangular form in cross-section but the apex of the triangle carrying the strips 8 and 9 lies at less distance from the circumferential wall of the drum 33, compared with the Fig. 1 embodiment.
  • the strips 12 and 13 connecting the longitudinal edges of the membranes to the walls of the drum 3 are displaced from their Fig. 1 position and the slotted wall 22 of the drum is correspondingly reduced in area.
  • the two air spaces are interconnected to equalise the air pressure in the air spaces and such interconnection is conveniently by connection of the air space through the support 4.
  • the press described is of particularly rigid construction and this is achieved without introducing significant extra production of material costs.
  • the membranes are subjected to reduced stresses during operation due to the location of the support with the edges of the membranes fixed thereto, particularly in the Fig. 1 embodiment.
  • portions of the wall of the drum which are particularly subjected to the free fall of material after a pressing operation are not covered by the membranes.
  • note arrow 20 denoting fall of such material during rotation of the drum in the direction of arrow 21.
  • the area of the slotted wall can be varied according to the different requirements of different products to be pressed.
  • the connecting strips 12, 13 can be repositioned to give such different areas and the support 4 can be of different size to accommodate such repositioning.
