Abstract
A plant for the continuous and agglomerated manufacturing of articles obtained at least in part by compression of material. The plant comprises a carousel of working sectors equal to a number of fixed sectors with which the carousel operates. A frame supports the entire plant to allow the movement of the transfer elements for the mold and the products with respect to the working units.
Claims57
In a plant for a manufacture in an automated and continuous manner of agglomerated, sintered and vulcanized articles, which are formed by converting and pressing materials, including minerals, synthetics, mixtures and alloys, which has at least one forming element to press or compress materials fed into a mold by feeding elements, at least one element for a thermal, chemical, mechanical or similar treatment of the pressed articles, and at least one device to remove manufactured articles from the mold, the improvement wherein a frame is provided which carries the whole plant, in order to feed the material into one or more working units positioned on the frame around the feeding elements, whereby each working unit is divided into fixed sectors each serving as a base for a press forming element and/or treatment element and/or one element for the removal from the mold are tightly fixed on the frame and a carousel is fixed on the frame, said carousel being provided with a number of mobile sectors equal to the number of said fixed sectors and turning with respect to the fixed sectors for transporting part of each mold or the formed articles from one fixed sector of the working unit to the next fixed sector of the working unit.
The improvement defined in one of the aforementioned claims, characterized by the feeding device has at least one opening (9) to distribute the material formed and divided in the outer mantle of the feeding device, whereby at least one of the distribution openings ends in the sector of a working unit which has a press forming element.
The improvement defined in 18 wherein the suction valve (736) of the cylinder (102) has a longitudinal opening in which the body (740) of the discharge valve (738) of the cylinder (102) is slidingly and coaxially run on bearings.
