Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pneumatic press of the type comprising a rotary cylindrical drum containing at least one flexible membrane.
  • Pneumatic presses have undergone significant development due to the high quality of the juices, in particular grape must, which they allow to obtain thanks to a gentle extraction of the juices due to the low pressures exerted, of the order 2 bars.
  • the main drawback of known pneumatic presses is the discontinuity of their operation. Indeed, these known pneumatic presses include a fruit loading door which also serves for the evacuation of residues, in particular grape marc.
  • the cycle of operation of these known machines therefore comprises a filling phase during which the drum is stationary, possibly preceded by a vacuuming of the membranes, then a juice extraction phase during which a gradual swelling of the membranes is carried out with rotation of the drum , and a residue discharge phase during which the drum is again stopped.
  • the filling and unloading phases occupy a relatively long time of the total cycle and, above all, the fruits are stored before being brought to the press, which causes their rapid oxidation, especially when the harvest is done mechanically, which harms the quality of the juices obtained.
  • document FR-A-2 529 135 describes a fruit press comprising a rotary cylindrical drum containing at least one flexible membrane supplied with pressure to compress the fruits against the wall of the drum.
  • the fruits to be pressed are made to arrive in the vicinity of a closed end of the cylindrical drum, the juices expressed by swelling of said membrane are recovered and the waste is discharged through an opening in the opposite end of said drum.
  • the fruit to be pressed is introduced into the drum via a loading pipe which opens into the drum.
  • the drum comprises a waste evacuation member constituted by an endless screw.
  • Document DE-A-3 440 558 describes a press comprising a drum containing a means of axial transport of the mass to be pressed and comprising a plurality of radial partitions forming a plurality of adjacent axial chambers each closed in the radial direction by a flexible membrane , each of the chambers being connected to a source of pressure or vacuum.
  • the object of the invention is in particular to remedy this drawback.
  • the drum is perforated on a part of its periphery, that the non-perforated portion of the drum contains said radial partitions which are equidistant and in the form of a circular sector, the end of the drum opposite the closed end comprising a closing wall adjacent to the non-perforated portion, the set of partitions, of the closed end and of the closing wall of the drum forming said axial chambers or cells (L, M, N, P, Q) closed by a flexible membrane and supplied with pressurized or vacuum fluid by tubing, and by the fact that said axial transport means comprise walls in the form of circular sectors housed in the perforated portion of the drum, integral with each other and equidistant with the same spacing as said partitions, integral in rotation with the drum and able to occupy an axial working position in which an opening e end of the perforated portion of the drum is closed by the last of said walls opposite the first of the walls which is adjacent to the closed end of the drum,
  • the operation of the press according to the invention is semi-continuous or permanent, that is to say that, during the phases of stopping the means of transport the fruits can be pressed at different pressures in the different areas in which they are found.
  • the press can be loaded simultaneously. During the periods of operation of the means of transport, the material advances from one zone to the next zone and, simultaneously, the residues are removed.
  • the pressing and possibly crumbling work is done in the working position of the partitions while, during the translation of the partitions to their end of transport position, the fruits are transported from one compartment to the next axial compartment. and, simultaneously, the residues contained in the last axial compartment are discharged through the open end of the perforated half of the drum.
  • the juice recovery means comprise a recovery tank housed below the drum and which has walls dividing it axially into partial tanks each provided with an outlet for the selection of juice.
  • a variant of the invention provides that at least some of said walls are surmounted by an adjustable slab.
  • the drum can be rotated by a gear motor-brake cooperating with a chain engaged with a pinion integral with the drum and coaxial with it.
  • a gear motor-brake cooperating with a chain engaged with a pinion integral with the drum and coaxial with it.
  • the speed and / or the direction of rotation of the drum are variable.
  • FIG. 1 schematically represents a pneumatic press according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the press consists of a perforated cylindrical drum 7, made of stainless steel, called a drip cage.
  • the drum 7 is closed at its inlet end (on the left in the drawing) and open at its opposite end or outlet end.
  • the drum 7 is rotatably mounted on a frame 1 and is rotated, in one direction or the other, at adjustable speeds, by a brake-motor 2 moving a chain 3 engaged on a pinion 6 integral with the drum 5 and coaxial with it. At its end opposite the pinion 6, the drum 7 is guided on rollers 14.
  • a hollow shaft 17 driven in rotation in one direction or the other, at variable speeds, by a geared motor-brake 13 driving a chain 12 engaged with a pinion 10 fixed on the 'shaft 17.
  • the shaft 17 is mounted on the chassis 1 by means of rolling bearings 5 and 11.
  • the hollow shaft 17 carries an Archimedes screw 8 with a diameter slightly smaller than that of the drum 7. Substantially halfway up the screw, membranes 9 are fixed to the turns of the screw 8 and are separated by partitions. watertight 18 thus providing axial chambers G, H, J. Each of these chambers can be connected to a source of compressed air or to a vacuum pump by a pipe, respectively g , h , j passing inside the tree 17.
  • Zone B thus provided is connected to the outside by a pipe 19 mounted in the hollow shaft 17 and passing through the wall thereof.
  • the pipe 19 is connected to a supply 20 of fruit, in particular grapes, by means of a rotating joint 4.
  • a collecting tank 16 occupying substantially the entire length of the drum.
  • the fruits pushed by a pump (not shown) enter the pipe 19 according to arrow A.
  • the fruits come to occupy the pre-chamber B not equipped with a membrane.
  • the drum 7 may or may not rotate during this loading, while the shaft 17 and the propeller 8 which it carries are stopped.
  • the fruits are pushed towards the zone C.
  • the screw 8 is stopped as soon as the zone C is full and the membrane 9 is put under pressure by the tube g .
  • the membranes 9 of zones H and J are also pressurized to press the fruits which have arrived in zones D and F during previous rotations.
  • the pressure of the membranes 9 on the fruit compresses them against the internal wall of the perforated drum and extracts juices therefrom which pass through the drum 7 and are collected in the tank 16.
  • a crumbling phase After each pressing phase, in order to obtain a faster extraction of the juices, a crumbling phase can be provided.
  • the membranes 9 are deflated by connecting the chambers G-J to a vacuum pump or simply to the atmosphere.
  • the drum 7 and the screw 8 are rotated in opposite directions and at equal speed. The fruits are therefore brewed and crumbled.
  • the operation of the press is therefore permanent by alternating extraction phases (pressing and crumbling) with displacement phases, the feeding of fruit and the removal of residues being done during these displacement phases.
  • the speed of the screw 8 can be lower or higher than that of the drum 7, which makes it possible to move the fruits as desired in an axial direction or in the other.
  • the number of alternating pressing and crumbling phases can be increased according to the desired drying rate. Pressing pressures increase in chambers G, H, J and are generally between 0.2 bar for the first and 2 bar or more for the last.
  • the independent drive of the screw 8 and of the drum 7 in both directions and at variable speeds allows multiple operating combinations.
  • the number of zones can also be changed.
  • adjustable slabs 15 are housed above the walls 20.
  • the frame 1 can be fixed on jacks for allow the press to be tilted, in one direction or the other and at a predetermined angle, in order to speed up or slow down the exit of residues.
  • the screw is formed by a single coil 8 ′ which can be secured to the hollow shaft 17 or to the drum 7.
  • the partitions 18 ′ carry the membranes 9 as in the example of the figure 1.
  • the operation of the press is identical to that of the previous example.
  • the screw 8 ′ may also, according to an embodiment not shown, include straight, non-helical parts, producing an effect identical to that of an Archimedes screw. These straight parts also serve for fixing the membranes and play the role of the previous partitions 18 ′.
  • Fruit can be fed directly to a feed funnel on the loading pump.
  • FIG. 3 shows a press according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • the drip cage consists of a stainless steel cylinder, one end 30 of which is closed and the other end of which is closed on only its half by a half-circumference 31.
  • the half-periphery 32 of the drum adjacent to the half -circumference 31 is full, that is to say non-perforated, while the other half-periphery 33 is perforated.
  • Watertight bulkheads 34 in the form of a circular half-sector are fixed in the solid part 32 of the drum, at constant spacing, the first partition 341 being at this same spacing from the closed end 30 and the last partition 342 at the same spacing from the half-circumference 31.
  • the partitions 34 determine between them or with the ends 30 or 31 of the cells L, M, N, P and Q each closed by a flexible membrane 35 of waterproof canvas.
  • the cells LQ can be selectively supplied with compressed air or vacuum by pipes 36 through a rotary joint 37 secured to the shaft 38 of the cylinder.
  • the membranes 35 When the membranes 35 are inflated, they respectively fill the opposite portion of the perforated half-cylinder 33 while, when they are subjected to vacuum, they are pressed against the bottom of their respective L-Q cell.
  • Walls 39 are arranged in opposition to the partitions 34 and, in the pressing position shown in FIG. 3, a first wall 391 is adjacent to the end 30 of the cylinder while the last wall 392 closes the end opening of the perforated half-cylinder 33.
  • the walls 39 are mechanically connected together by rods 40 and can be moved integrally in translation to the right (in the drawing) by a distance equal to the common spacing of the partitions 34 and of the walls 39 by jacks 41 supplied with through the turn 37.
  • the walls 39 are integral in rotation with the cylinder.
  • the walls 39 delimit between them compartments B-C-D-E-F.
  • the supply of fruit A is done through a rotary joint 42 connected to a tube 45 opening into the first compartment B.
  • the cylinder is pivotally mounted on bearings 43 mounted on a frame 44 and is driven by a geared motor (not shown) .
  • the operation is as follows. At the start of a cycle, the empty cylinder and the walls 39 are in the position shown in FIG. 1. The membranes 35 are pressed against the bottom of their respective cells by the vacuum.
  • compartment B and of cell L can be done during pressing in the compartments CF, then apply a light pressure on compartment B. We then recall all the membranes 35 and we proceed to crumbling without performing again filling, then the translation of the walls 39 is produced, as in the previous process.
  • the pressures applied to the membranes are variable and may come from air or another compressed gas, or from a liquid such as water.
  • the cylinder of FIG. 1 does not have partitions 34 or walls 39 and contains a single membrane 35.
