Apparatus for Automated Dehydration

An automated dehydration apparatus comprising:

• a first roller press;
• a second roller press, wherein the second roller press is aligned substantially parallel to the first roller press with a distance from the first roller press causing fluid to be removed from material as the material passes through and between the first roller press and the second roller press, and wherein the first roller press has a hard surface, and wherein the second roller press has a surface with less density than the surface of the first roller press;
• a first roller bearing assembly disposed on a first end of the first roller press;
• a second roller bearing assembly disposed on a second end of the first roller press;
• a third roller bearing assembly disposed on a first end of the second roller press;
• a fourth roller bearing assembly disposed on a second end of the second roller press;
• a first support bracket, wherein the first support bracket rotatably supports the first roller bearing assembly, and wherein the first support bracket rotatably supports the third roller bearing assembly;
• a second support bracket, wherein the second support bracket rotatably supports the second roller bearing assembly, and wherein the second support bracket rotatably supports the fourth roller bearing assembly;
• an outer housing, wherein the first support bracket and the second support bracket are disposed within the outer housing, and wherein the outer housing forms a first aperture aligned with the first roller press and the second roller press to allow the passage of the material through the first aperture and between the first roller press and the second roller press, and wherein the outer housing forms a second aperture aligned beneath the first roller press and the second roller press to allow fluid removed from the material to drain;
• a drive shaft coupled to the first roller press;
• a motor, wherein the motor drives the drive shaft;
• a power supply, wherein the power supply drives the motor;
• a forward and reverse switch, wherein the forward and reverse switch powers the motor such that the material is pulled through and between the first roller press and the second roller press in a forward direction or a reverse direction;
• a drain tray, wherein the drain tray is positioned beneath the second aperture formed by the outer housing to collect fluid removed from the material;
• a drain tube, wherein the drain tube is coupled with an aperture formed within the drain tray;
• and
• at least one stand disposed on the outer housing.
