Abstract
A two roll press machine for removing moisture from particulate organic material includes a stationary powered roll and a powered positionable roll journalled within a carriage slidably entrained on a machine base. A hydraulic cylinder biases the movable roll into heavily biased, linear contact with the stationary roll. Barrier plates in place above the rolls laterally confine expelled fluid. Collector boxes proximate the extremes of the roll nip remove the fluid. A spreader mechanism is supported on the machine base for distribution of material across the rolls. The machine base permits stacking of the machines for sequential pressing of material.
Claims6
A two roll press machine for removing moisture from organic material, said machine comprising in combination,
- a machine base,
- a first roll rotatably mounted on said base and coupled to a roll driving motor and rotatable about a fixed axis,
- a second roll,
- a carriage slidably mounting said second roll on said machine base enabling travel of said second roll into and out of linear contact with said first roll,
- retention means confining said carriage for rectilinear travel on said base,
- powered means carried by said base and acting on said carriage to urge said second roll into and out of linear contact with said first roll,
- barriers located superjacent the corresponding sides of said rolls, and
- discharge means including collector boxes located laterally adjacent the nip of the rolls to remove collected fluid expelled from the organic material.
