SE511601C2 - Arrangement for extracting honey from combs - Google Patents

Abstract

A separator is used with a low feed-in placed on its side. With the aid of centrifugal force level raising occurs in two stages with upwardly inclined rotating grooves (6). These grooves can be partly replaced by tubes, but grooves are easier to clean. Sepg. occurs in vessels (11) suspended in slings (21) on a rotating vertical shaft (5). Sepg. is introduced mechanically with the honey spread out in a thin layer so that waste material only has to move a short way to the surface, where it floats out on a honey bed. This all occurs under the effect of strong G-forces with the process continuing.

Description

50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 511601 2 the distribution channels (9) must not slide out of position, the direction of rotation in this case must be counterclockwise.

The finesse of separator vessels that hang in swings is that these at each speed change constantly aligns itself at right angles to the horizontal plane. For that reason, no one happens stirring of honey and debris when the separator is to be stopped for removal of the rubbish.

At the bottom of the machine, studs (33) are fixed with studs through the bottom plate annular sump (7) which is fed with honey from the sling via the feed chute (6) .At the bottom of the collector (8) the sheet metal edge is shaped like vanes (22) which feed honey towards the center. The shovels (22) will simultaneously put the honey in rotation. On account of the centri fi igalkra fi en, the honey will then begin to flow upwards the inside of the outwardly sloping convex sheet metal wall (41) and then up into the sloping distribution gutters (9). On the outside of the collector (8), 2 plate rings are mounted (17) just above the vanes (22). The honey that wants to crawl up on the outside of the collector (8) then splashes back to the sump (7).

The distribution gutters (9) are curved in at the upper end over the edge of the separator vessels (11) and opens onto the diffuser plates (10). The spreading plate guides the honey sideways outwards the edge of the separator vessel (1l) forming a threshold (23). In this way a broad is formed flow honey in a very thin layer (24) on the side of the separator vessel above the honey level (25). The flow rate in the layer is high due to the centrifugal force contributes and contributes to the layer becoming thin. In this barrel the honey layer, the debris will settle on the surface, or very close to the surface in the layer, and the distance that the debris has to surface to get to the surface is very short _ For that reason, the debris flows as it is lighter than honey directly onto the surface (25) of the honey bed (31) further down in the separator vessel (11). Then everything that is in the rotating system is exposed to large G-forces, it happens quickly separation. The rubbish is packed by hand into a hard cake (30) that floats on the heavier one honey beds (31). In the honey bed (31) the flow rate is low why only single debris particles are included through the separator. At low capacity utilization, the honey becomes almost pure. At high feed rate is cleansing slightly worse, but still very good (better than 95%).

Near the bottom of the separator vessel (1 1) there is a channel (12) which leads the purified honey up to a hole (32) and out through the drain spout (13) on the outside of the separator vessel (1 1) at the same level as the surface of the honey bed (31).

The level of honey (25) in the separator vessels (1 1) is kept almost constant according to the principle of communicating vessels.

From the drain pipe (13) the honey flows out into the riser gutters (14), These are seated hooked (3 5) (34) (3 8) in the rotor and inclined slightly outwards so that the honey can flow up. At the lower end of the riser gutters (14) it is collecting cups (19) that take take care of the honey that remains in the chute when the separator is stopped. At the upper end on the riser gutters (14) it is the tongues of sheet metal that lead the honey into the solid annular collecting chute (15) at the top of the machine, The purified honey drains out via the drain gutter (18). A small is mounted over the hole in the sheet metal wall (15) at the drain gutter (18). deflector plate (40). It keeps the top edge of the hole dry and prevents the formation of honey drops that otherwise follow the air flow out and then end up anywhere preferably 511601 100 The prototype has the drain gutter about 95 cm above the floor _ Below the drain gutter is there then room for a fi nsil to remove the rest of the debris, and a storage container for honey. 104 511 601 185 190 195 200 FIG FIG FIG FIG FIG FIG FIG Fi rFr "k ' , l Vertical section through the separator that mainly corresponds with the prototype. , 2 Rotor with another for hanging the swings and riser tubes.
