  • Patent number: 11480169
    Abstract: A compression unit including at least one volumetric compressor for compressing the air drawn from the external environment, a system for drying the compressed air operatively associated to the at least one volumetric compressor, one tank for storing the compressed air delivered from the at least one volumetric compressor, wherein the drying system comprises a unit for cooling the compressed air positioned downstream of and placed in fluid communication with the tank, and one dryer positioned upstream and placed in communication with the cooling unit, the dryer configured to reduce the moisture content present in the compressed air that can be dispensed by the compression unit, one solenoid valve positioned upstream of the dryer, to shut off the flow of compressed air flowing out from the tank, and a differential pressure switch to control the switching of the solenoid valve.

  • Patent number: 10830225
    Abstract: A compression unit, for a volumetric compressor, includes at least one cylinder, at least one piston, a drive shaft, operable in rotation around a rotation axis and associated with the at least one piston through a connecting rod/crankshaft kinematic mechanism, a casing for supporting the at least one cylinder and for housing at least one portion of the drive shaft and of the connecting rod/crankshaft kinematic mechanism, and which includes at least one air intake in communication with the outside of the compression unit and defining at least one passage for the air to be drawn therein and to be supplied to the at least one cylinder; the air intake is in fluid communication with the interior of the at least one cylinder through a path which is extended inside the casing and through at least one section of a wall of the at least one cylinder.

  • Publication number: 20180023727
    Abstract: A valve assembly for a reciprocating compressor includes a plate provided with at least one intake through opening and with at least one delivery through opening, at least one laminar elastic intake valve susceptible of selectively assuming a deformed configuration moving away from the intake opening, at least one laminar elastic delivery valve susceptible of selectively assuming a deformed configuration moving away from the delivery opening, members for connecting the laminar elastic intake valve and the laminar elastic delivery valve to the plate, and an abutment element, operatively associated with the laminar delivery valve and adapted to limit and control the deformation to which the laminar elastic delivery valve is subjected during use.

  • Publication number: 20080271584
    Abstract: Herein described is a quick assembling disassembling and movement mechanism for a component of a food slicing machine (10) of the type comprising a framework (12) bearing a rotating blade (14), provided with a blade-cover (16) which extends for at least a part of the circumferential edge of the blade (14), a moveable flap (18) and guide means (20) for a carriage (22). The carriage (22) is made up of a product-bearing plate (24), a support arm (26), constrained in a sliding manner against the guide means (20), and a cover-plate (28) sliding over the product-bearing plate (24) in an orthogonal direction with respect to the moveable flap (18).
