Definitions

  • the present invention refers to pressing grapes and in particular to pressing more or less high quality grapes for obtaining quality wines.
  • the prior art provides for various types of presses for obtaining the wine must.
  • presses operate continuously and have a good production capacity, but they reveal poor capacity to adapt the pressing parameters, especially the pressing pressure, to the variable conditions of the product to be processed.
  • Membrane presses have characteristics that guarantee the desired pressing sensitiveness, but they reveal the considerable disadvantage of operating only in discontinuous mode.
  • the types of mechanical press are not suitable for processing whole grapes complete with grape-stalks, and require - before intervention thereof - that the grapes be pressed and possibly the stalks removed so as to avoid the extraction of substances from the stalk that jeopardize the quality of the must.
  • the object of the present patent is to provide and protect a pressing system that overcomes the drawbacks of the known systems which allow pressing the grapes continuously, but with the sensitivity required to preserve the characteristics of the product.
  • a further object of the patent is to provide a pressing system capable of processing not only de-stemmed grapes, but also whole grapes, through an action that can be easily controlled from outside to maintain the pressing parameters, especially the pressure, at the desired values.
  • Fig 1 shows the side view of the invention with the upper part sectioned on the axis
  • Fig 2 shows Fig 1 in plan view
  • Fig 3 shows the section Ill-Ill of Fig 1 ;
  • Fig 4 shows Fig 1 in a different operating position
  • Fig 5 shows the section V-V of Fig 4.
  • the figures illustrate a press comprising a cylindrical container 1 having the perforated lateral wall 2, reinforced by stiffening ribs 3.
  • the container 1 may have a first frusto-conical part 110 which is connected with a second cylindrical part 120, arranged downstream in the direction of the flow.
  • the container may be cylindrical with constant section over the entire length thereof.
  • the container is supported stationary on a framework 4, made of metal trestle, which - in the part beneath the container - 1 receives a removable vat 5 provided with wheels 51.
  • the container 1 is supported, through the ribs 3, by two lateral currents 6 (Fig
  • the currents 6 are connected to a crosspiece 61 integral with the bottom wall 11 of the container, to which there is connected a connection 12 coming from a pump (not illustrated).
  • the pump is a variable displacement pump and it is connected to the central control system.
  • the currents 6 carry a crosspiece 62 (Fig 2) fixed thereto which in turn supports an actuator 8 at the centre.
  • the actuator 8 is hydraulic or mechanical, for actuating the stem of a piston 9, and it is connected to the central control system.
  • the head of the piston comprises, should the actuator be electrical, a thrust sensor (not illustrated) like a loading cell.
  • the piston 9 comprises a cylindrical portion 90 provided with two sealing bearings 91 adapted to be fittingly and sealingly inserted into the cylindrical container 1 , as well as a conical part 92 having the vertex facing towards the bottom wall 11 of the container.
  • the conical part has the task of improving the shape of the discharge opening for the pressed product, and it may also be shaped differently to suit the purpose.
  • radial guide fins 93 whose edge parallel to the axis is in line with the cylindrical portion 90 and whose front part is sharp-edged are derived from the conical part.
  • the fins have the purpose of cutting and breaking the pressed material.
  • the travel of the piston 9 within the container extends not exceeding the cylindrical portion 120 thereof.
  • the piston 9 When the piston 9 is arranged facing the end of the container downstream in the direction of flow, with the cylindrical portion thereof close to but outside with respect thereto, it creates an adjustable opening from which the pressed product is discharged.
  • the position of the piston is controlled by the central control system.
  • the piston may be subjected to a reciprocating movement, with brief travel, to improve the cutting and breaking operation of the fins.
  • the perforated lateral wall 2 of the container 1 comprises a semi-cylindrical upper portion 21 (Figs 4, 5), each of whose edges carry a portion 22 hinged thereto with a curved section shaped like a quarter of a cylindrical surface, each portion being associated to means (not illustrated) which place it in a closed position continuing the other portion and the upper portion, or in a substantially vertical open position (Fig 5).
  • a central control system regulates the capacity of the pump and the position of the piston as a function of the various monitored parameters which are represented by the pressure with which the pump supplies the cylinder, by the amount of the capacity of the pump, by the thrust exerted by the material being discharged on the head of the piston and by the position of the piston.
  • the invention operates as follows.
  • the piston 9 is inserted into container up to the end upstream of the cylindrical portion 120 thereof, and the portions 22 are in closed position.
  • a pump not illustrated, of the type operating at low regime at a speed controlled by the central control system, sends the product into the container 1 through the connection 12 located in the bottom wall 6 thereof.
  • connection can be conveniently provided with a unidirectional valve (not illustrated) adapted to prevent the back flow of the product towards the pump.
  • the product may be constituted by whole or de-stemmed grapes and it also comprises a liquid phase constituted by juice.
  • the piston Upon reaching this value, read by the sensor, the piston is controlled by the central control system to recede increasing the volume available within the container, until it is arranged immediately outside the container to create the opening for discharging the pressed material.
  • the position of the piston is calibrated by the central control system in a manner such to keep the desired internal pressure value constant.
  • the pressed material exits from the calibrated opening at the end of the container, and the pressing and the advancement of the material occur continuously, at the desired pressure, in absence of mechanical actions, and only due to the pressurized supply of the material.
  • the vat 5 may comprise several separated sections in the direction of advancement of the material.
  • the size of the calibrated discharge opening is determined by the position of the piston, which is in turn determined by the central control system.
  • vat 5 full of must is removed and it is replaced with an empty vat.
  • the piston is made to advance therewithin up to the end of the cylindrical portion thereof.
  • the invention is suitable to produce juice from vegetables different from grapes and the means for discharging the juice or the used material may be mechanised.
