G. SCHTZ, CFQJERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY. l
Letters Patent No. 111,686, dated February 7, 1871.
IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINES FOR' DEGERMINATING MALT.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters` Patent and makingnpart of the same.
To all whom 'it 'may concern:
Beit known that I, CHARLES SAUTER, of the city of New Yorkrin the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Machine for Degerminating Malt; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, ,and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming'part ot' this specication.
Figure 1 represents a vertical transverse section of my improved degerminating machine.
Figure 2 is a plan or top View of the same.
Figure `3 is a detail side view, partly in section, of
' the separating-cylinder.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention has for its object to construct a Inachine whereby the germs sprout-ing from grain during theconversion of the same into malt, can be conveniently 'broken oi and separated from thegrain, so that they will not enter the still during the process of brewing.
j'lhev invention consists chiey in the use of a series ofpei'forated cylinders revolving in opposite directions,-for breaking oli` the germs,-and also in the use of a peculiardistributing or" separating-cylinder, forv separating'the malt from the germs, and from impurities with which it may have become mixed.
A in the drawing represents the frame of my improved machine. f
In the upperv part of the frame A are hung thre or more cylinders B B` B", made of perforated sheet'- metal of that kind used ou graters, with the rough surfaces on the outsides.
`These cylinders are hung one above another, and are parallel with each other but revolved in opposite directions, as indicated by the arrows in tig. 1.
Each of the cylinders revolves in an outer case, C, made also of perforated sheet metal, as indicated.
Ihc grain is, from a suitable distribnter, hopper, or other apparatus, thrown upon the upper" cylinder B, and is carried around by the same and thrown upon the cylinder B. Ihe sudden reversed motion thus imparted to the grain agitates the same to such a degree that the germs will become separated by direct friction or. the cylinder, but also by the violent contact of the several articles of .grain withl each other. The same effect is produced when the grain is transferred to the cylinder B, and can be continued by the use of a suitable larger number of such cylinders.
From the cylinders aforesaid the grain drops into a amer sala aber @im CHARLES SAUTER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TIO HIMSELF AND' suitable receptacle, being on its way separated from the germs and light impurities by the action of a rotary fan, 1).
From the above apparatus the grain falls into a receptaele in which there is hung a cylinder, E, made of,
Wiregaulze or other suitable perforated material, and divided by a series of transverse partitions a a a, into seven more or less compartments, of `which each has a special grade of gauze.
The cylinder has at one end a dipper or scoop, b, by which once during each revolution the grain is dipped into the first compartment 1. There it is rotated and .the particles of dust or dirt and the germs fallout through the meshesof the gauze,'while the grain is, after one revolution,,discharged into the next compartment 2 through an aperture in the partition.
lTo this aperture the grain is conducted by a transverse slantihg plate, c, shown in iig. 3. In the same manner the grain is passed through all the compartments of the cylinder E, and nally discharged through an opening, e, in a perfectlyclean state.
' The several grades of gauze are so adjusted as to I gradually separate from the grain all the impurities combined with the same.
Having thus described my invention,
I claim as new and desire to secure byv Letters Patl. Ihe cylinders B B B, arranged .one above an- Witnesses GEO. W. MABEE, T. B. MosHER.'
