  • Press for treating waste products
    Patent number: 5347921
    Abstract: The press comprises a frame (1), a feed zone (3) for receiving the waste products, a pressing chamber (9) comprising an inlet opening (10) and an outlet opening (11) which are in opposed relation and disposed coaxially relative to the feed zone (3), and a chamber (14) for discharging the solid phase. The press further comprises an element (15) which is movable transversely relative to the axis of the press chamber (9) between a first position for closing the outlet opening (11) and a second position for opening the outlet opening (11), and an arrangement (20) for applying the movable element against the outlet opening (11) of the pressing chamber.
