The centrifuge-wax refinery, steam generator and wax press are placed in a single housing, and the centrifuge wax wax is placed in the steam generator above the water tank in which the safety valve is installed, the bottom of the centrifuge wax wax furnace is made with a slope passing into the drain pipe, the wax wax is located in the lower part of the unit in a water tank (Patent for the invention of the Russian Federation No. 2528960 IPC А01К 59/06 published September 20, 2014).

The known unit for wax waxing has disadvantages. During the operation of the unit, the melted wax is cleaned only thanks to the filter mesh, capable of capturing only large particles of impurities and, passing smaller ones, which subsequently settle on the bottom of the tank to collect raw materials, thereby reducing its purity. In addition, the shape of the screw does not allow to completely squeeze out all the wax from the wax material.

The closest in technical essence to the proposed utility model is a unit for wax waxing consisting of a steam generator that is closed by a sealed lid, inside of which there is a centrifuge-wax refinery above the water tank, which is attached to the steam generator body by mountings. Under the centrifuge in the lower part of the unit for wax waxing, a perforated platform is fixed. On the perforated platform is located the destroyed wax material. In the lower part of the centrifuge-wax refinery, there is a rotor with rigidly fixed pins necessary for mixing the wax material in the process of refining. In the centrifuge-wax refinery, nesting and magazine frames are installed, which are attached by holders. The water tank is equipped with electric heating elements and a viewing window. The steam generator has a safety valve, a tap for water inlet, and a valve for draining the water. The bottom of the centrifuge-wax refinery chamber is made with a slope that passes into a drain pipe, which communicates the wax centrifuge with wax wax. Voskressress is located at the bottom of the unit for wax waxing in a water tank. Voskressress consists of a mesh filter, a pressing screw made in a cone shape, and an adjusting screw. To collect pure wax and pomace (merva), mechanical impurities, containers were installed outside the wax press (Patent for utility model of the Russian Federation No. 155462 MPK A01K 59/06 published on 10.10.2015).

The known unit for wax waxing has disadvantages. The design and principle of operation of the known unit does not allow in the process to clean the wax from small impurities (residues of honeycombs, insects, etc.), which reduces the quality of the final product. In addition, the design of the screw does not allow to completely squeeze out all the wax from the wax material due to the design features of wax press.

The objective of the utility model is to increase the efficiency of the wax extraction process from wax materials and the quality of the product itself.

The technical result consists in increasing the pressure on the wax raw material as it moves through wax press, in reducing the content of impurities in the final product.

The technical solution is achieved by the fact that the unit for wax washing contains a wax reflux centrifuge with a sealed lid, made in the form of a housing with a rotor, in which honeycomb frames are mounted in holders, a water tank equipped with electric heating elements, an inspection window and a crane, a steam generator, a wax press in which a cone-shaped pressing auger with an unloading hole equipped with an adjusting screw and a strainer is installed, containers for collecting pure wax and squeezes, a centrifuge-wax refinery, a steam generator and wax the springs are placed in a single housing, and the centrifuge-wax refinery is placed in the steam generator above the water tank in which the safety valve is installed, the bottom of the centrifuge-wax refinery chamber is made with a slope passing into the drain pipe, the wax press is placed in the lower part of the unit in the water tank, under a centrifuge, inside which honeycombs are installed, a perforated platform is placed, and pins are rigidly fixed on the rotor bottom of the centrifuge, a removable fine filter is installed under the mesh filter For example, an Mylar filter is installed at the wax outlet, the screw has an unsteady winding pitch, and the winding pitch decreases from the edge of the screw located near the drain pipe to the edge of the screw located near the wax outlet.

Comparative analysis with the prototype shows that the claimed unit for wax refining meets the criterion of "novelty", as it has significant differences:

1) under the filter mesh, a fine wax filter is installed, which allows to capture fine impurities, which helps to increase the purity of the final product;

2) the fine filter for wax removal is removable, which provides the possibility of its operational maintenance in case of clogging, preventing the filter from destruction and ingress of impurities into the finished product;

3) a lavsan filter is installed at the outlet of the wax pressress, which is designed to additionally capture fine impurities from the wax, and in case of failure of the fine filter to prevent the ingress of impurities into the finished product;

4) the auger has an unstable winding step, which creates the prerequisites for an increase in wax pressure on the processed wax raw material, thereby ensuring an increase in the efficiency of the spin process;

5) the winding pitch is reduced from the edge of the screw located near the drain pipe to the edge of the screw located near the discharge outlet of the wax press, which provides an increase in pressure on the wax raw material as it moves through the wax press, thereby increasing the efficiency of the wax extraction process.

By reducing the pitch of the screw, the pressure created by the extraction of wax raw materials will increase, which will allow to obtain more high-quality wax

The unit for wax waxing is illustrated by schemes where:

- in FIG. 1 shows a unit for wax waxing;

- in FIG. 2 is a side view of FIG. one;

- in FIG. 3 is a view A of FIG. one.

The unit for wax waxing consists of a steam generator 1, which is closed by a sealed lid 2, inside of which there is a centrifuge-wax reflow 3 above a water tank 4, which is attached to the steam generator body 5 with fasteners 6. Under the centrifuge 3 there is a perforated platform 7, on which the destroyed and crushed wax is located raw materials for subsequent refining. In the centrifuge-wax refinery 3 there is a rotor 8 with holders 9. The pins 10 are rigidly mounted on the rotor to mix the wax material during the reflux process. In addition to the wax raw material placed on the perforated platform, honeycomb frames 11 are mounted in the wax centrifuge 3, which are attached to the holders 9. The water tank 6 is equipped with electric heating elements 12 and an inspection window 13. A pressure relief valve 14, a gulf cock, are installed in the steam generator 1. water 15, and a valve 16 for draining water. The bottom of the chamber 17 of the centrifuge-wax refinery 3, is made with a slope passing into the drain pipe 18, which communicates the centrifuge-wax refinery with a wax press 19. Voskopress 19 is located in the lower part of the unit for waxing in a water tank 4. Voskopress 19 consists of a filter mesh 20, a pressing screw 21, made in a cone shape with a varying pitch of winding, which decreases from the edge of the screw located near the drain pipe to the edge of the screw located near the discharge opening of the wax press, as well as the adjusting screw 22. For cleaning, For the obtained wax, a removable fine filter for wax 23 and the lavsan filter 24 are provided. To collect pure wax and marc (merva), containers 25 and 26 are installed outside the wax press.

The unit for waxing works as follows. In the unit for wax waxing, crushed wax raw materials are loaded onto a perforated platform 7 for wax waxing from it. After that, radially honeycomb frames 11 are placed in the wax reflow centrifuge 3, and are fixed in the holders 9. The wax reflow centrifuge 3 is closed with a sealed lid 2. Water is poured into the water tank 4. The water level is controlled through the inspection window 13. The heating elements 12 are connected to the electrical network and the water is heated to a boiling point (100 ° C). When boiling water, steam is released, which is distributed in a centrifuge-wax refinery 3, the process of wax melting occurs, both on the perforated platform and in the framework. The rotor 8 of the centrifuge-wax refinery 3, with fixed honeycomb frames 11, rotates (drive not shown). The melted wax under the action of centrifugal forces flows down from the honeycomb frames and along the bottom of the centrifuge-wax reflow chamber 3, made with a slope, moves to the drain pipe 18, and then to the wax press 19. During the rotation of the rotor, the crushed wax material located on the perforated platform is mixed 7, using pins 10, which, under the action of gravity, falls on an inclined bottom, and then into the wax-press 19. The molten wax with mechanical impurities is pressed by rotating the compression screw 21 (drive n shown) made cone-shaped with a variable pitch winding, which decreases from the edge of the screw disposed near the spout to the edge of the screw disposed near the unloading opening voskopressa. The wax penetrates through the filter screen 20, and then through the removable fine filter 23, where it is deeply cleaned, and then, emerging from the wax press, the wax penetrates through the lavsan filter 24, where finely dispersed wax impurities are captured, enters the container 25, and the squeezes with large mechanical impurities through the discharge opening of Voskopress 19 into the container 26. The pressing of the wax raw material is regulated by the adjusting screw 22. The casing of the wax press has the same temperature as the water in the container 4, therefore the molten wax is in liquid form. This reduces the load on the pressing screw 21, and increases the yield of pure wax. To drain the water from the tank 4, valve 16 is used. Between cycles (i.e., from one start-up to another), it is imperative that all filters used are cleaned with hot water.

Using a utility model will improve the efficiency of the process of extracting wax from wax materials and the quality of the product itself.
