Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for finishing hides, according to the general part of claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 A machine for finishing hides of a known type is shown in Figure 1 .
  • roller machines are used, commonly known as coating machines, in which the hides P are transported by a rubber belt 1 and pressed against an opposite engraved roller 2, which deposits onto the surface of the hide an even film of liquid L, previously spread out on said engraved roller by one or more blades 9.
  • the engraved roller can rotate in "synchro", that is in the same direction as the direction of advancement of the hide or in "reverse”, that is in the direction opposite to the aforesaid direction of the hide.
  • the perfect success of the hide finishing operation depends on many factors, among which the predominant ones are a regular entry of the hide into the restricted zone, that is the one included between the engraved roller and the underlying roller or conveyor belt and a well determined compression force of the portion of hide which comes into contact, in a substantially tangent manner with the surface of the aforesaid engraved roller.
  • the uniformity of this compression force when the roller coating machine is equipped with a conveyor rubber belt 1 depends on the tension of the belt itself to ensure the winding thereof on the first roller 4, acting as a contrast medium inside said rubber belt 1 mentioned above and opposite to the engraved roller 2.
  • the hides having a thin thickness tend to adhere to the conveyor belt and a device is therefore necessary which allows an easy detachment thereof for the delivery to a further transport means for the drying step.
  • a hide detaching roller 17 is provided, actually consisting of a cylindrical element with a modest toothing, which rotates in the same direction with respect to the second return roller and therefore with peripheral speeds of the proximal zones of these two rollers having opposite directions. Said hide detaching roller facilitates the detachment of the hide from the rubber belt and its delivery to the next transport element for the drying step.
  • Another measure to facilitate the detachment of the hides from the conveyor belt consists in providing a second roller with a diameter as small as possible.
  • the outer surface of the belt at the second roller with an extremely small diameter is necessarily destined to expand longitudinally; consequently, due to said longitudinal expansion of the belt, a sliding between the meat side of the hide and said belt is created, facilitating the detachment of said hide from the belt itself.
  • this reduction in the diameter of the second roller also causes an intrinsic mechanical weakness of said roller which tends to flex excessively, since the belt must necessarily be stretched to be moved, with an unacceptable flexibility of the roller, especially at its central part.
  • rollers which are not perfectly cylindrical, but are slightly convex at their central part, so as to compensate for the longitudinal flexibility of the roller.
  • the roller has a common angular speed at the whole of its development, but a peripheral speed which is greater at the zones with a greater radius. This entails the fact that, at the central zone, the roller slides on the inner part of the belt with unacceptable vibrations and wear of the belt itself.
  • Object of the present invention is to realise a machine for finishing hides of the type described above which is capable of obviating the drawbacks manifested by similar products of known type.
  • object of the invention is to realise a machine for finishing hides capable, in particular, of delivering the hides to the subsequent transport devices for the drying step without minimally soiling said hides, in particular at their meat side.
  • Further object of the invention is to provide a machine of this type, which is simple from the constructive point of view, practical and safer for the operator.
  • the second roller is equipped with at least one supporting element that is integral with the machine frame; in particular, said supporting element is positioned between the ends of said second roller to increase stiffness thereof with respect to the longitudinal flexibility.
  • a machine for finishing hides of known type provides that a hide P is adduced by opposite belts 10, 11, which define a conveying channel 12, to a zone in which there is a rubber conveyor belt 1 as well as an engraved roller 2, which presses against the aforesaid, which deposits onto the surface of said hide P an even film of liquid L, previously spread out on said engraved roller by one or more blades 9.
  • the belt 1 is towed by a first roller 4 and returned by a second roller 5.
  • the hide is deposited on a subsequent conveyor means 6, in most cases consisting in fact of a suitable belt.
  • rollers 4 and 5 are a drive roller, while the other one is an idle roller and in particular the roller 4 is a drive roller and the roller 5 is an idle roller; suitable washing and drying means 3 are also provided, which operate continuously on the outer surface of the belt 1 of the machine. All this constitutes a prior art and therefore a state of the art of the present invention.
  • a suitable hide detaching roller 17 which, as already said previously, is constituted by a cylindrical element with a modest toothing which rotates in the same direction both with respect to the second roller 5 and to a roller 18 which moves the conveyor means 6 constituted, in most cases, by a suitable belt.
  • the second roller 5 is in particular provided with a supporting element 13 that is integral with the machine frame, positioned between the ends of said second roller 5 to increase stiffness thereof with respect to the longitudinal flexibility.
  • this supporting element is integral with a rod 14 that is parallel to the second roller 5, which is in turn hinged upon an element 15 integral with the machine fixed frame.
  • said second roller 5 is hinged upon said element 15.
  • the presence of bearings 16 is provided, advantageously of the rolling type, arranged around the cylindrical core 19 of the second roller 5, so as to allow the rotation of the cylindrical core 19 with respect to the supporting element 13.
  • said cylindrical core 19 is hinged at its ends to a plate 20, integral with the rod 14.
  • Figures 8 and 9 also highlight the above; in particular, it is clearly evident that it is possible to configure a single removable supporting frame with respect to the machine, so as to ease assembling/disassembling operations, as already stated above.
  • the machine according to the invention can comprise more return rollers, and among them it can provide an idle roller 8 (see in particular Figure 2 ) which has means adapted to change positioning thereof; based on said positioning, said roller 8 is in particular adapted to modify the point of contact of the rubber belt 1 with the overlying engraved roller 2.
  • the ratio between the diameter of the first roller 4 and the diameter of the second roller 5 is equal to or greater than 5.
  • the belt 1 is made of rubber, which advantageously has a hardness lower than 40 Shore A. It is also possible to provide for one or more layers of artificial or natural elements to be present on the inner surface of the rubber.
  • the rubber belt 1 has a thickness Sp of the rubber portion, variable from 8 to 25 mm.
  • a plurality of supporting elements 13 is provided; as shown in these figures, they are arranged equally spaced apart between the ends of the second roller 5.
  • the device according to the invention is able to meet the objects previously proposed, thanks to the fact that the at least one supporting element 13 present at the second roller 5 is able to clearly obviate the flexibility of the roller 5.
