Abstract
During assembly of a ram press for pressing liquid out of material being pressed, centering of the shell 19 which serves as wash basket with the axis of the press ram which engages the shell 19 is simplified by the shell 19 being horizontally movable with two degrees of freedom by being connected for pivotal motion about a second vertical axis 26 to the free end of an arm 25 which is pivotable about a first vertical axies 24'.
Claims16
Ram press for pressing liquid out of material being pressed, comprising
- a container means having a vertical, cylindrical cavity with a top and a bottom opening for said material which is to be pressed,
- a perforated means for closing off said bottom opening,
- a pressing means for introduction into said top opening of said container means and for compressing said material which is to be pressed when the latter is located on said perforated means in said cylindrical cavity,
- a driving means for moving said pressing means up and down, and
- a carrying means for carrying said driving means and being fixedly connected to said perforated means,
- characterized in that
- a lever means is mounted for pivotal motion about a first vertical axis,
- and in that
- said container means is connected to said lever means for pivotal motion about a second vertical axis so that said container means is horizontally movable with two degrees of freedom.

A ram press for pressing liquid out of a material comprising:
- a container for the material having an open top;
- a perforated base means associated with said container;
- pressing means having a central vertical axis;
- first mounting means for mounting said pressing means above said open top of said container for a movement along a path parallel to said vertical axis;
- second mounting means for mounting said container for a movement with two degrees of freedom substantially perpendicularly to said vertical axis of said pressing means between a position in which said open top of said container is not aligned with said pressing means and an aligned position in which said open top of said container is aligned with said pressing means so that said pressing means can be introduced through said open top into said container;
- and
- first driving means for driving said pressing means between a position in which said pressing means is out of said container and a position in which said pressing means penetrates said container when said open top of said container is aligned with said compressing means to compress material in said container between said pressing means and said perforated base means.
