Abstract
A screw press, and more particularly a pressurized screw press with a driving end, is pivotally mounted at its driving end and rests in a cradle at the other end. A pivotal bearing provided at the driving end of the screw press has a clearance for vertical movement in a fixed axis of rotation. By the aid of this mounting breakage of the screw press casing is avoided when operating conditions comprise varying pressures and temperatures.
Claims6
A screw press comprising an elongated casing having a press screw therein, means at one end of the casing for rotating said press screw, a stationary base, means fixedly secured to said stationary base and interconnected with said casing adjacent said one end of the casing for pivotally interconnecting said casing and said fixed base for vertical swinging movement of said casing about a fixed horizontal axis extending perpendicular to the length of said casing, and a cradle on said base a substantial distance from said axis and supporting the other end of said casing for horizontal sliding movement of said casing relative to said cradle.
