DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dehydrator suitable for, for example, separating moisture from livestock manure and using the remaining solid matter as compost. The present invention can be used not only for separating water from manure but also for solid-liquid separation for other uses such as separating water from muddy water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an apparatus for separating and dewatering solid matter and water in a hydrated substance, a centrifugal separator for dewatering using a centrifugal force is known. In addition, the actual opening 59-18209
As described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. No. 6-2006, an apparatus for putting a hydrated substance into a rotating drum, stirring and dewatering, and an apparatus for heating and drying are known.

[0003]

However, the centrifugal separator needs to stop the machine when loading and unloading the object to be processed, which is not suitable for continuous processing and is inefficient. In addition, clogging is likely to occur.

[0004] On the other hand, the rotary drum type and the heating type are inefficient and require a long time for the dehydration treatment. Therefore, they are not suitable for the case where the water content of the object to be treated is high or for large-scale treatment.

[0005] The technical problem of the present invention is to realize a dehydrator which has high processing efficiency, is suitable for continuous processing and large-volume processing, and which can effectively dewater even when the water content is high. is there.

[0006]

The technical problem of the present invention is solved by the following means. Claim 1 has a drive source for rotating the screw so as to press and move the hydrated material supplied into the cylindrical body containing the screw from one end to the other end of the cylindrical body, and one end of the cylindrical body. Has a supply section for supplying a hydrated substance, and has a discharge port for solid matter from which water has been separated, on the other end side of the cylindrical body, and at least on the side wall or the end wall of the cylindrical body. A dehydrator in which a number of small holes for water flow are formed, and a lid body movable in the axial direction of the screw near the discharge port is elastically pressed toward the screw by an elastic pressure means.

[0007] The cover plate may be built in the perforated cylinder or may be arranged outside the perforated cylinder. Further, a part may be fitted in the perforated cylinder, and another part may be exposed outside the perforated cylinder.

[0008] As described above, while the hydrate supplied from the supply section into the cylinder is moved by being pushed to the discharge port side while being stirred by the rotation of the screw, a large number of hydrates are opened on the side wall of the cylinder. Because of the structure drained from the small holes, water can be reliably and continuously separated from the water-containing material.

In particular, at the position of the outlet, the lid member
Since the elastic member is elastically pressed toward the screw, elasticity can be applied to the workpiece near the discharge port. As a result, the object to be treated having a low water content after being dehydrated by the screw and the small hole in the cylindrical side wall is further squeezed by elasticity, so that the object is more reliably dehydrated and discharged from the discharge port.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dehydrator having a claw or a cutter blade on the screw side of the lid according to the first aspect. As described above, since the lid has the claws or the cutter blades, the object to be processed after dehydration can be scraped off, and the clogging on the discharge port side can be reliably prevented. In addition, when foreign substances such as vinyl are mixed, fine cutting can be performed with a cutter, thereby facilitating post-processing.

[0011] Claim 3 is described in claim 1 or claim 2.
A dewatering machine having a structure in which crushing means is provided in a loading supply section, and an object to be processed is supplied into the cylindrical body after passing through the crushing means.

As described above, since the crushing means is provided before the supply port of the porous cylinder, the object to be processed is finely crushed by passing through the crushing means, and then supplied into the porous cylinder and dehydrated. As a result, even when foreign substances such as bones are mixed, dehydration can be performed smoothly.

[0013] Claim 4 is Claim 1, Claim 2 or Contract
A dewatering machine having a structure in which a water-permeable filter is disposed in a hopper disposed in a stage preceding the supply unit according to claim 3, and a liquid that has passed through the filter is removed in advance so as not to be supplied to the hopper. It is.

As described above, since the water-permeable filter is disposed in the hopper disposed at the stage before the supply port to the porous cylinder, the liquid that has passed through the filter is removed in advance. As a result, only the hydrated material after the excess water is removed is supplied into the porous cylinder, so that the dewatering process is performed efficiently and quickly.

[0015] Claim 5 is Claim 1, Claim 2, Claim
An inner cylinder separate from the screw is arranged at the center of the screw according to claim 3 or 4, fixed to the cylinder side, and a number of small holes are opened above the inner cylinder. This is a dehydrator that can drain water from inside.

As described above, since the inner cylinder having a large number of water holes for dewatering is disposed and fixed also at the center of the screw, the moisture in the hydrated material is also small in the inner cylinder. Since it flows in from the holes and is dehydrated, it can be more effectively dehydrated.

The sixth aspect of the present invention relates to the first to fifth aspects.
On one side of the supply section of the cylindrical body according to any of the above, one end of a screw is inserted, a rotary cylindrical body provided with a number of small holes for water passage is provided on a side wall, and the rotary cylindrical body is used as a high-speed drive source. It is a dehydrator connected.

As described above, since the centrifugal separation cylinder is provided on the side of the dehydrated cylinder on the side of the dehydrated substance supply section to rotate at a high speed, the dehydrated substance entering from the supply section is first centrifuged. And then dewatered to some extent by the high-speed rotation of the cylinder, then pushed up to the discharge port by the rotation of the screw, and further dewatered, so that more efficient and reliable dewatering can be achieved.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, the screw is contained in a high-speed rotating centrifugal separation cylinder having a large number of water holes, and a hydrated substance is pushed in from one end of the high-speed rotation cylinder. This is a dehydrator having a structure in which the screw rotates at a low speed so as to be pushed out from the other end.

As described above, the screw is inserted into the rotating cylinder for centrifugal separation which has a large number of water passage holes and rotates at a high speed. As the screw is configured to rotate at a low speed, so as to extrude, supply of hydrated material into the high-speed rotating cylinder,
Dehydration by centrifugation and discharge of the object after dehydration are continuously performed. Therefore, the dehydration process can be performed efficiently. Further, since the workpiece on the inner surface of the high-speed rotating cylinder is scraped off by the screw, clogging of the high-speed rotating cylinder can be prevented.

[0021]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of how a dehydrator according to the present invention is actually embodied will be described. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing one embodiment of a dehydrator according to the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a cylinder, in which a screw 2 is incorporated, and a screw shaft 3 is connected to a motor M. In this figure, the cylinder 1 is arranged diagonally,
On the lower end side, a hopper 4 is provided on the upper surface of the cylinder, and on the upper end side of the inclination, an outlet 5 for solid matter is opened on the lower surface of the cylinder.

In the side wall of the cylinder 1, there are countless small holes 6 for water flow. Therefore, when the hydrated material is supplied from the hopper 4 and the screw 2 is rotated by the motor M in a direction to push up the hydrated material, the hydrated material is gradually pushed upward by the rotation of the screw 2.

In this way, while the water-containing substance is being pushed up, the water is pushed out from the small hole 6 in the side wall of the cylinder 1, collected in the drainage guide 8 in the form of a gutter or a casing, flows down to the lower side of the slope, and is removed. You. By rotating the screw 2, the water-containing substance is pushed up while being stirred, so that the chance of meeting the small holes 6 is increased, and as a result, the water is effectively discharged from the small holes 6.

At the beginning, since the outlet 5 is closed by the cover plate 7 as shown in FIG. 1 (1), the hydrated material is pressurized closer to the outlet 5 in the cylinder 1. The water content is reduced and the water content decreases.

If the cover plate 7 is closed forever, the motor will be overloaded, but when the object near the discharge port 5 is dehydrated, the cover is moved in the direction of arrow a1 as shown in FIG. Board 7
When the discharge port 5 is opened by shifting the position, the object to be dehydrated falls from the discharge port 5 and is discharged. Thereafter, when the hydrated substance is continuously supplied from the hopper 4, the object to be treated is continuously discharged from the discharge port 5 in a dehydrated state.

FIG. 3C is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1A. Since the discharge port 5 has an arc shape, the cover plate 7 also has an arc shape. And it is formed larger than the discharge port 5 and covers the outside of the discharge port 5 so as to partially overlap the porous cylinder 1.

Also, since the cover plate 7 is pressed by the leaf springs S1 and S2 fixed to the guide plates G1 and G2, the cover plate 7 is moved in the direction of arrow a1 by the handle 7b of the cover plate 7 so that the cover plate 7 Guided by G2, it can move back and forth in the direction of arrow a1. Therefore, the opening amount of the outlet 5 can be controlled continuously.

If a structure in which a plurality of pin holes are formed in the cover plate 7 and pins are inserted from the holes 15 formed in the guide plate G1,
By selecting the pin hole of the cover plate 7, the opening amount of the outlet 5 can be adjusted intermittently. Alternatively, the leaf spring S1,
Intermittent positioning can also be performed by providing irregularities at the position where the front end of S2 hits.

If the opening amount of the discharge port 5 is small, the dewatering rate increases, so that the dehydration rate can be adjusted by selecting the position of the cover plate 7 continuously or intermittently. Further, when the dehydration is not surely performed, the dehydration rate can be increased by narrowing the opening to reduce the size.

FIG. 1 shows a structure in which the discharge port is manually operated, while FIG. 2 shows an automatic operation. FIG. 2 (1) is a cross-sectional view at the center, and FIG. 2 (2) is an end view in the direction of arrow a2 in FIG. 1 (1).

In this embodiment, the cover plate 7 is supported by a horizontal shaft 9 at one end of the discharge port 5 so as to be vertically rotatable. The free end side of the cover plate 7 is pressed by a tension coil spring 10 in a direction in which the discharge port 5 is closed.

As a result, at the beginning, the discharge port 5 is closed by the spring force of the tension coil spring 10, but the workpiece near the discharge port 5 is closed by the spring force of the tension coil spring 10 and the screw 2. When sufficiently pressurized and dehydrated, the force that the cover plate 7 receives from the object to be processed exceeds the spring force of the tension coil spring 10.
The cover plate 7 is pushed open, and the dewatered object is discharged from the discharge port 5.

Therefore, the tension coil spring 10
Needs to be able to generate enough spring force to apply sufficient pressure so that the object to be processed near the outlet 5 is sufficiently dehydrated. The members 11a and 11b that support the upper end of the tension coil spring 10 have a structure in which a plurality of holes 12 are formed and the supporting position can be selected, so that the spring force applied to the workpiece can be adjusted. .

The vertically movable lid plate 7 is also formed to be larger than the discharge port 5 so as to partially overlap the porous cylinder 1.
A structure that covers the outlet 5 is also possible.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the disc-shaped lid plate 16 is
The screw shaft 3 is housed in the perforated cylinder 1 and passes through the center of the circular lid plate 16. A compression coil spring 18 is interposed between the spring receiver 17 and the circular cover plate 16. Also, even if the hydrated substance is pushed up by the rotation of the screw 2, the circular cover plate 16 is set so that the discharge port 5 is not opened for the first time.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view showing an operation structure of the circular cover plate 16. A stopper 21 is provided inside the perforated cylinder 1 at a position where the circular lid plate 16 can completely close the discharge port 5.
Is fixed, but the hydrated material fed from the hopper 4 is pushed up by the rotation of the screw 2 and pressed against the cover plate 16 to be dehydrated. The pressure of the processed material gradually increases.

As a result, the circular cover plate 16 is pushed away against the spring force of the compression coil spring 18 and the discharge port 5
Opens, and the dehydrated object is discharged.

A hole 22 formed in the terminal side wall of the porous cylinder 1
A pin or a bolt 19 is inserted into the spring support 17 to support the spring receiver 17, but since the position of the pin 19 can be freely selected, the spring force acting on the circular cover plate 16 can be freely changed.

The dewatered water is guided to the drainage channel so as not to flow into the solid matter 20 deposited below the outlet 5.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing a second embodiment of the dewatering structure. 1 to 3 show a screw 2 and its shaft 3
In contrast, in the embodiment of FIG. 4, there is no integral screw shaft 3 at the center of the screw 2,
It is hollow. And, in this hollow portion, the inner cylinder 23
Is inserted, and the right end is fixed to the perforated cylinder 1 side.

A separate screw shaft 24 is inserted into the left end of the inner cylinder 23, and is rotatably supported on the left end wall of the inner cylinder 23 by a bearing 25. The left end of the screw 2 is connected to the screw shaft 24, and the right end is free.

The inner cylinder 23 is provided with a large number of small holes 6 for drainage only on the upper side. Therefore, when the screw 2 rotates and pushes up the hydrated substance toward the discharge port, the water dehydrated from the hydrated substance flows through the small hole 6 of the inner cylinder 23 into the inner cylinder 2.
3 and is also drained by the inner cylinder 23.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a third embodiment of the dewatering structure. This embodiment has a structure in which moisture is centrifuged to some extent in a pretreatment unit, and then a hydrate is fed into the porous cylinder 1. That is, a high-speed rotary cylinder 26 for centrifugal separation is disposed below the hopper 4 of the porous cylinder 1, and a pulley 2 fixed to the right end wall of the high-speed rotary cylinder 26.
A bearing 28 is interposed between the screw shaft 7 and the screw shaft 3. The pulley 27 is connected to the high-speed motor m.

Many small holes 6 are formed in the side wall of the high-speed rotating cylinder 26. Therefore, the water-containing substance introduced from the hopper 4 first flows into the centrifugal separation cylinder 26, and is dehydrated to some extent by the high-speed rotation of the cylinder 26, and then to the discharge port 5 by the rotation of the screw 2. It can be dewatered more effectively because it is pushed up.

It should be noted that, for example, 1
By arranging the rollers 29 at intervals of 20 and supporting them on the drain guide tube 8 side, the rotation of the high-speed rotating tube 26 can be further stabilized.

FIGS. 6A and 6B are cross-sectional views illustrating the cross-sectional shape of the small hole 6. As shown in the figure, by making the cross-sectional shape of the small hole 6 tapered, the inside of the cylinder 1, that is, the hydrated material side has a small diameter, and the diameter of the water outlet side is large. Clogging can be prevented.
Further, even if a water-containing substance or the like enters the small hole 6, the cut water can be cut or scraped by the rotation of the screw 2, so that the passage of water becomes easy again.

If the small holes 6 are also formed in the end walls 13 and 14 of the cylinder 1 and the cover plates 7 and 16, dehydration can be performed more effectively. Further, the drain guide 8 for collecting the dehydrated water may have a shape surrounding the whole of the porous cylinder 1 or a shape surrounding only the lower half as shown by a solid line in FIG.

FIG. 7 is a sectional view showing another embodiment of the dehydrator. A major difference from the above embodiment is that the centrifugal separation cylinder 26 is arranged below the hopper 4 in the embodiment of FIG. 5, whereas the embodiment of FIG. 7 is arranged on the discharge port side. Have been.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lid 1
6 moves back and forth inside the perforated cylinder 1, while in the embodiment of FIG. That is, the lid plate 16 of FIG. 7 has a structure that closes the opening 1a at the end of the porous cylinder 1 from the outside. As described above, when the cover plate 16 is disposed outside the porous cylinder 1, the outer shape of the cover plate 16 does not necessarily have to be circular.

The upper end of the screw shaft 3 is externally threaded, and a spring receiver 30 is screwed therein. A compression coil spring 31 is interposed therebetween. Therefore, the cover plate 16 is pressed against the opening 1a by the spring pressure to close the opening 1a. Therefore, similarly to the case of FIGS. 3 and 4, the dewatered object pushed up by the screw 2 pushes the cover plate 16 open as shown by a chain line against the spring pressure of the spring 31. , Fall from the gap between the end of the porous cylinder 1 and the cover plate 16 and are discharged.

At the end of the screw 2 in this figure, a space S where no screw is present is provided for about half or one turn. Therefore, in the space S, since the feeding by the screw 2 is not performed, the dewatered object is pushed into and accumulated in this space. In this way, the subsequent arrival of the object to be treated is further compressed, and the moisture is dehydrated from the small holes 6. Then, when the pressure increases until the lid plate 16 can be pushed open,
The cover plate 16 is pushed away to be discharged.

The cover plate 16 rotates together with the screw shaft 3, and inside the cover plate 16, as shown in FIG.
A radial claw or blade 32 of the cover plate 16 is provided. Therefore, the object to be processed pushed out from the opening 1a is
, And is discharged smoothly and reliably. If the object to be processed is garbage, foreign substances such as vinyl may be present.
It is discharged while being finely cut by the blade 32.

The cover plate 16 has a part that is a porous cylinder 1.
Into the opening 1a, and the other part is the opening 1a as shown in FIG.
If a structure with a step is provided so as to protrude outside a,
When foreign matter is caught between the cylindrical end 1c and the cover plate 16, a gap is formed, and it is possible to prevent the object to be processed from being discharged without dehydration.

A bearing 46 is fixed to a bearing frame 45 fixed via a plurality of rods 44 to a flange 43 fixed to the end 1 c of the porous cylinder 1.
At 6, the terminal end of the screw shaft 3 is supported.

When processing garbage and the like, there is a possibility that animal bones, plate materials, and the like are mixed.
Inside, a crusher 33 is provided to dehydrate bone and the like in a crushed state.

The centrifugal separation cylinder 26 is arranged in front of the space S at the end of the porous cylinder 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the perforated cylinder 1 has a starting end 1b and an end 1c.
The high-speed rotating cylinder 26 is inserted between them.
A flange 34 fixed to the start end 1b and the end 1c,
35, bearings B
1, B2 is interposed.

A sealing member 3 such as an O-ring is provided inside the drainage pipe 8 supported by the flanges 34 and 35.
By inserting 6, 37, moisture after dehydration is prevented from entering the bearing portion.

A pulley 38 is arranged between the bearing B2 on the end side of the porous cylinder 1 and the seal member 37, and the porous cylinder 1 is inserted and fixed. A belt 40 is hung between the pulley 38 and the pulley 39 of the output shaft of the centrifugal separation motor m.

Therefore, the high-speed rotating cylinder 26 can be rotated at a high speed by the motor m. That is, the high-speed rotating cylinder 26 rotates at high speed while being supported by the bearings B1 and B2 at both left and right ends. As a result, the processing object sent to the inside of the high-speed rotation cylinder 26 by the screw 2 is rotated at a high speed, and moisture is dehydrated from the small holes 6 by centrifugal force.

The size of the small holes 6 is arbitrary, but is determined according to the use and the properties of the object to be treated.

The seal member 3 is provided inside the bearings B1 and B2.
Due to the presence of 6, 37, no water enters the bearings B1, B2. Further, the water after dehydration is collected in the drainage tube 8 and drained.

The object to be processed after the water is centrifuged is sent to the cover plate 16 side by the screw 2, further compressed in the space S as described above, and dehydrated, and then pushes the cover plate 16 away. And is discharged. Therefore, the space S functions as a compression chamber. The end side 1c of the porous cylinder 1 may not have the small holes 6 for dehydration. In that case, the dehydrated water flows toward the high-speed rotating cylinder 26 and is dehydrated.

Regarding the direction of rotation of the high-speed rotating cylinder 26, it can be rotated in the same direction as the internal screw 2 or in the opposite direction. When the object is rotated at a high speed in the same direction, the object to be processed is also guided by the blades of the screw 2 and the speed at which the object moves toward the cover plate 16 increases. When rotating at high speed in the reverse direction, the feed speed decreases,
The amount of frictional heat generated increases, which has a positive effect on dehydration and drying.

Although the perforated cylinder 1b is interposed between the high-speed rotating cylinder 26 and the hopper 4, the high-speed rotating cylinder 26 is provided at a position closer to the hopper 4, and the compression chamber S can be lengthened. .

The centrifugal separation section by the high-speed rotating cylinder 26
The present invention can be used not only for separating manure discharged from a barn and the like but also for separating water from muddy water, and the use is not limited. An apparatus comprising only this centrifugal separation section is also possible. That is, a structure without the compression chamber S and the subsequent ones is also possible.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing details of the crusher 33.
(1) As shown in the figure, in the hopper 4, two crushing rollers 47 and 48 are arranged in parallel with each other and are pivotally supported on the hopper side wall. A pulley 49 fixed to the shaft of one crushing roller 48 and a pulley fixed to the shaft of the motor M are connected by a belt 50.

Since the crushing rollers 47 and 48 have a gear-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 2 (2), the processing object put between the crushing rollers 47 and 48 is
After being bitten between 7, 48 and crushing bones and the like, it is supplied into the perforated cylinder 1.

Therefore, by putting garbage and the like into the hopper 4, dewatering can be performed in a state where foreign substances such as mixed bones are crushed. The dewatered garbage can be transferred to an ordinary garbage disposal machine and further mixed with garbage processing bacteria for treatment. In addition, the crushing mechanism 33
It is not limited to the illustrated structure.

FIG. 10 shows an embodiment in which a filter 51 is provided on the hopper 4. The filter 51 has a structure in which a net is arranged obliquely, and the lower end of the hopper 4 that is continuous with the upper side is placed on the supply port of the porous cylinder 1. The lower side of the filter 51 is a liquid reservoir 52, and a drain pipe 53 is connected to the bottom thereof. Also, the filter 51
A supply pipe 54 for an object to be processed is disposed right above the object.

Now, when excrement or the like coming out of the barn falls from the supply pipe 54, the solids fall from the filter 51 to the hopper 4 side and are supplied into the porous cylinder 1 from the supply port. On the other hand, the water that has passed through the filter 51 falls into a liquid reservoir 52 and is drained and removed by a drain pipe 53.

In the case of excrement of excess moisture, the moisture is removed in advance by the filter 51 in this way, and then supplied into the perforated cylinder 1 for dehydration treatment. Thus, a larger amount can be processed. The crusher 33 shown in FIG.
Can be guided onto the crusher 33 from above.

The hopper 4a in FIG. 11 is an example in which the hopper 4a is installed at a different position from the perforated cylinder 1. This hopper 4a
The liquid reservoir 52 on the lower side of the filter 51 formed of an oblique net
Is connected to a drain pipe 53 at the bottom. In addition, hopper 4a
The supply section of the porous cylinder 1 is disposed below the bottom of the cylinder, and the space therebetween is connected by a supply pipe 55.

The float 56 is floated in the hopper 4a, and a level switch operated by the float 56 is provided. The level switch is connected to a power supply control circuit of a drive motor of a pump for pumping up manure and the like through the supply pipe 54 in the hopper 4a.

For this reason, when the amount of hydrate in the hopper 4 exceeds a predetermined level, the pump is stopped by a signal from the level switch to prevent the hydrate from overflowing from the hopper 4. It can be prevented before it happens. Further, when the float 56 is lowered and the amount of the hydrated substance falls below a predetermined level, the pump is started and the hydrated substance is supplied into the hopper 4a.

The level switch 57 shown in FIG. 3 is a switch for the same purpose. When the amount of hydrated material in the hopper 4 exceeds the level switch 57, the motor of the pump P is stopped and the hydrated product overflows from the hopper 4. It is prevented from being put out.

Inside the hopper 4a, another level switch 58 is provided at a position near the bottom, and is connected to a power supply control circuit of the drive motor M of the dehydrator. Therefore, when the amount of the water-containing material in the hopper 4a decreases and becomes empty, the screw 2 and the high-speed rotating cylinder 26 of the dehydrator are stopped, and the dehydrator can be prevented from running idle.

In the above embodiment, the screw 2
The cylinder 1 with the built-in is inclined and used so that the hopper 4 side is at the bottom and the discharge port side is at the top, but it can also be horizontal according to the topography of the place where it is installed. It is also possible to incline so that the 4 side is up and the outlet side is down.

Although the structure in which the hydrate is supplied from the hopper into the cylinder 1 has been described as an example, the hopper 4 side of the porous cylinder 1 can be directly inserted into the tank in which the hydrate is stored. In this case, it suffices that the supply port into which the water-containing substance in the tank enters is open in the porous cylinder 1, and the hopper 4 is not necessarily required.

The water separated from the hydrate can be fermented, used as a liquid fertilizer, purified,
It can also be used for irrigation.

[0081]

According to the first aspect, while the hydrate supplied from the supply section into the cylinder is pushed to the discharge port side while being stirred by the rotation of the screw and moving, the hydrated substance is formed on the side wall of the cylinder. Because it is a structure drained from many opened small holes,
The water can be reliably and continuously separated from the hydrate.

In particular, at the position of the outlet, the lid member
Since the elastic member is elastically pressed toward the screw, elasticity can be applied to the workpiece near the discharge port. As a result, the object to be treated having a low water content after being dehydrated by the screw and the small hole in the cylindrical side wall is further squeezed by elasticity, so that the object is more reliably dehydrated and discharged from the discharge port.

According to the second aspect, since the lid has the claws or the cutter blade, the object to be processed after the dehydration can be scraped off and the clogging at the discharge port side can be reliably prevented. In addition, when foreign substances such as vinyl are mixed, fine cutting can be performed with a cutter, thereby facilitating post-processing.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the crushing means is provided in front of the supply port of the perforated cylinder, the object to be processed is finely crushed by passing through the crushing means, and then supplied into the perforated cylinder and dewatered. You. As a result, even when foreign substances such as bones are mixed, dehydration can be performed smoothly.

According to the fourth aspect, since the water-permeable filter is provided in the hopper disposed before the supply port to the porous cylinder, the liquid passing through the filter is
It is excluded beforehand. As a result, only the hydrated material after the excess water is removed is supplied into the porous cylinder, so that the dewatering process is performed efficiently and quickly.

According to the fifth aspect, the inner cylinder having a large number of water holes for dewatering is disposed and fixed at the center of the screw. Flows through the small holes and is dehydrated, so that dehydration can be performed more effectively.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, since a structure is provided in which a centrifugal separation cylinder is provided on the side of the hydrate supply section of the dehydrating cylinder to rotate at a high speed, the hydrate coming in from the supply section first After flowing into the cylinder for centrifugal separation and being dehydrated to some extent by the high-speed rotation of the cylinder, it is pushed up to the discharge port by the rotation of the screw and further dewatered, so that dehydration is performed more efficiently and reliably. it can.

According to the seventh aspect, there are provided a large number of water holes,
A screw is contained in the rotating cylinder for centrifugal separation that rotates at a high speed, so that the hydrated material is pushed in from one end of the high-speed rotating cylinder and pushed out from the other end, so that the screw rotates at a low speed, Supply of the hydrated substance into the high-speed rotating cylinder, dehydration by centrifugal separation, and discharge of the object to be treated after the dehydration are continuously performed. Therefore, the dehydration process can be performed efficiently. Further, since the workpiece on the inner surface of the high-speed rotating cylinder is scraped off by the screw, clogging of the high-speed rotating cylinder can be prevented.
