  • Patent number: 11833773
    Abstract: An arrangement for pressing liquid-containing raw materials includes a press container which is rotatable about an axis of rotation and the interior of which is subdivided by a pressing membrane into a pressure-medium space and a pressing medium chamber. A filling and emptying opening, which can be closed in a pressure-tight manner and via which liquid-containing material to be pressed can be introduced into the pressing medium chamber, is arranged in the press container. At least one drainage element is located in the pressing medium chamber. The interior of the drainage element communicates with a juice outlet of the press container, via which liquid juice can be supplied to a juice collecting vessel during a pressing process. The press container is formed of a pressure-resistant flexible plastics material and is received in an inherently rigid support framework that is rotatable about the axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 6994021
    Abstract: A press for pressing out substances containing liquids, especially agricultural and chemical products, includes a closed container whose inner area is divided by at least one press membrane into a pressure medium chamber and a pressing medium chamber. A fill/discharge opening, sealable by a lid, is disposed in the casing and is associated with a juice run-off located in the pressing medium chamber. Flexible or elastic liquid-permeable drainage elements are also disposed in the inner area of the container for removing juice. The drainage elements include at least one support element and a flexible tube disposed therearound and are of a juice-permeable material. The drainage elements are configured as single-pieced components and are detachably received on the container by holding devices, which are disposed on both sides of the container, each drainage element being able to be removed as a component from the inner area of the container.
