Abstract: Horizontal basket extractors with a continuous conveyor with spaced baskets or cells are arranged with traveling splitters movable along the top and/or bottom runs of the conveyor synchronously with the baskets arranged to divert a continuous flow of solids and/or liquids from a preceding basket to a following one, thereby eliminating the intermittent feeding of the material being charged in succession but avoiding passage of the material through the spaces between the baskets.

Abstract: A multi-cell apparatus for the solvent extraction of oils or juices from divided organic material and like operations wherein a circular series of open top cells is radially disposed for rotation about a vertical axis with a bottom door hinged to the lower end of each cell comprised of a perforate bottom panel carried on a rigid frame and which is normally held closed against the lower end of its cell, but which swings downwardly by the removal of support at both the inner and outer ends of the door at a predetermined station in the circle of rotation of the cells for the discharge of spent material in turn from each cell preparatory to the door being again closed.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved rotary extractor assembly comprised of a rotor positioned within a vapor tight vessel and having upper and lower wheel assemblies positioned along the periphery thereof, which wheel assemblies ride on upper and lower track assemblies mounted to the inner surface of the vessel.

Abstract: There is disclosed a drive assembly for the rotor of a solvent extractor and comprised of drive sprocket, a guide sprocket and a take-up sprocket on which is coursed an endless chain, which assembly is disposed about a portion of the rotor on which a chain angle including drive clips are peripherally mounted such that the chain contacts a segment of the chain angle about the rotor.
