Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a screw press for pressing liquids from vegetable material, in particular from oilseeds, with a screw and a liquid-permeable jacket surrounding the screw, in particular a colander, the screw shaft and the jacket between them a screw channel with a decreasing cross section in the conveying direction of the screw form, and in the screw channel at least one throttle point for the zone-wise build-up of high pressure and in the conveying direction behind the throttle point a cross-sectional expansion for at least partial reduction of the high pressure are provided.
  • the invention relates to a method for squeezing liquids from vegetable material, in particular from oilseeds by means of a screw press, in which the squeezing is carried out by subjecting the material to a pressure increasing in the conveying direction of the screw, briefly strongly compressed at at least one throttle point, then at least partially relaxed again and then further compressed.
  • Screw presses are used in various processes to remove liquids from a variety of materials such as oilseeds.
  • Such screw presses are known for example from DE-C-29 15 538 and FR-A-2 263 884. These essentially include a snail and a perforated shell surrounding it, for example a colander.
  • the shell and the worm or the worm shaft form between them a worm channel, which is in a known manner tapered from the feed side in the conveying direction of the screw. This takes place in several stages by increasing the diameter of the worm shaft from stage to stage, but keeping the inside diameter of the shell constant, so that the cross section of the worm channel is reduced.
  • Throttling points are provided between the individual stages, in which a high pressure is built up in some areas, which is then at least partially reduced again for the subsequent compression stage.
  • material is fed into the screw channel on the feed side via a filler neck.
  • the material is conveyed by the screw in the longitudinal direction of the screw channel, wherein it is compressed in several stages towards the outlet side, liquid is squeezed out of the material and is released to the outside through the openings in the lateral surface.
  • the material cake is subjected to high compression over a very short distance.
  • the pressure is then at least partially reduced again by expanding the cross section again.
  • the initial cross-section of the next stage in the conveying direction is smaller than the screw cross-section at the end of the previous stage. In the area of the choke point, no spiral surfaces are provided for conveying the cake.
  • stripping fingers are provided in the individual compression stages, which protrude through the casing into the screw channel. With these scraper fingers, the cake is stripped from the screw shaft and also cut open in the longitudinal direction of the screw channel.
  • the screw press according to FR-A-2 263 884 has the Auger shaft sensor in the form of pivotable flaps, the sensors serving to detect the state of the compressibility of the conveyed material based on their respective inclination.
  • a screw press is known (DE-A-26 33 524), in which recesses are provided in those spiral surfaces of the screw which are located near the filler neck. These are used to cut long-fiber material before it is compressed to make liquids.
  • US-A-3 111 080 discloses a screw press, on the screw shaft of which toothed rings are provided, which are intended to detach the fibers from wood chips. This does not cause the material to be broken open or cut open.
  • the object of the present invention is now to provide a screw press for pressing liquids or a method for pressing liquids with which a higher efficiency can be achieved, i.e. more liquid can be squeezed out on the same press length.
  • the task outlined above is achieved in a screw press in that at least one cam is provided in the screw channel in the area of at least one of the existing throttling points and can be moved transversely to the conveying direction of the screw and is designed such that it causes the material to be broken open or cut open.
  • the cam By moving the cam transversely to the conveying direction of the screw, the material cake transported in the conveying direction of the screw is broken up or cut open into relatively small pieces.
  • this cutting takes place in the area of the throttle point, ie in the area of high pressure or immediately afterwards. The parts then shoot into the subsequent relaxation zone, ie the area with a larger cross section. It has been shown that cutting the cake in this area can significantly improve the efficiency of a screw press.
  • To cut the cake it is of course not necessary for the direction of movement to be exactly transverse, ie at right angles to the direction of conveyance, but it is sufficient if the direction of movement of the cam has a component which is transverse to the direction of conveyance.
  • cams in the area of the throttle point so that the material can be cut into smaller pieces.
  • These cams can be at one level with respect to the conveying direction. However, they can also be arranged offset to one another in the conveying direction.
  • the cams can advantageously be provided in the region of the greatest pressure of the respective throttle point, i.e. in the area where the cross-section of the screw channel is the smallest.
  • the cam or cams is or are arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on the worm shaft.
  • the cams are automatically rotated with the worm or worm shaft, so that another device is not necessary to actuate the cams.
  • the object on which the invention is based is further achieved in a method for squeezing liquids in that the material in the area of at least one of the throttling points is broken up or cut open with the aid of at least one cam moving transversely to the conveying direction of the line.
  • the breaking or cutting can take place in the area of the greatest pressure.
  • the screw press includes a screw (1) which is arranged within a casing (2) and can be rotated about its longitudinal axis in the casing.
  • the worm (1) is not made in one piece, but consists of a worm shaft (3) and a plurality of worm segments (4) which are arranged one behind the other in the axial direction of the worm shaft (3) and have helical helical surfaces (5).
  • the screw segments (4) are non-rotatably connected to the screw shaft (3).
  • a plurality of throttling points (7, 8, 9) are provided in the screw channel (6) at a distance from one another in the conveying direction. In the area of these throttling points, the conveying cross section of the screw channel (6) is considerably reduced over a short distance, so that a high pressure is built up here.
  • Such a throttling point can be achieved by reducing the inside diameter of the casing (2), as shown in the left throttling point (7) in the drawing, or by increasing the outside diameter of the screw (1), as in the others Throttling points (8, 9) is shown.
  • the throttling points (8, 9) have the lowest in the area Conveying cross section on cams (10) which are spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction of a cam ring (11, 12) which is connected to the worm shaft (3) in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • the cam rings (11, 12) are connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the screw shaft (3), so that when the screw shaft (3) rotates, the cams (10) are also rotated in the circumferential direction of the screw channel (6).
  • the conveying cross section of the screw channel (6) is widened before the conveying cross section is reduced again.
  • the cake which is moved in a straight line in the longitudinal direction of the screw channel (6), is cut into small pieces by the cams (10) rotating with the throttle segment (8, 9). Subsequently, the high pressure built up by the throttling points (8, 9) is at least partially reduced again by widening the cross section, so that the cut cake disintegrates into small pieces. The cake is then compressed again for further pressing of liquid.
