Abstract: A pelletizing device comprising a rotary drivable at least partly cylindrical die, wherein the cylindrical part comprises a multitude of radial openings for making of pellets and at least one roller rotatable around a stationary shaft, for pressing of material to be pelletized through the radial openings in the die, wherein the roller is mounted to the corresponding stationary shaft by means of at least one roller bearing and wherein the pelletizing device comprises an oil circulation system for lubricating each of the roller bearings of each of the rollers with oil.

Abstract: The pellet mill includes a ring die having die openings and rollers within a die cavity defined by the ring die whereby material fed to the die cavity and in the nips between the rollers and ring die is extruded through the openings to form pellets. The roller shafts are cooled by a water injector comprised of a tube disposed within and spaced radially from the interior surfaces of a bore through the roller shaft. A fitting at one end of the tube has an inlet for supplying cooling water to the interior of the tube. A return passage for the heated cooling medium is provided in the annular space between the tube and the bore terminating in an outlet in the fitting. In this manner, the roller bearings and lubricant are cooled.

Abstract: A front steer axle being for use in a motor vehicle to pivotally support a pair of transversely spaced steerable right and left wheel spindle assemblies. The front steer axle beam includes an elongated transverse beam member which is generally symmetrical about a center line. The elongated transverse beam member is formed by a transverse center section having a pair of spaced apart spring mounting pads, a pair of distal ends positioned above the transverse center section for pivotally cooperating with the wheel spindle assemblies, and a pair of S-shaped sections extending between opposed ends of the transverse center section and the spaced apart pair of distal ends. The pair of S-shaped sections have an I-shaped cross-section defined by a single pair of vertically spaced apart flanges and an interconnecting web.

Abstract: A densifier and cooling elevator for compressing previously separated burnable waste material into cubes of desired length and shape with the cubes forming a fuel for various purposes in which a burnable product can be effectively used. The densifier includes a rotatable drum and a plurality of circumferentially positioned die tubes which are welded together and held in rigid radial position. The inner ends of the die tubes are supplied with waste material treated previously in various stages of a waste recycling apparatus. Oppositely disposed rollers engage, compress and compact the waste material into the die tubes and extrude the compacted waste material from the die tubes as a dense cube. The cooling elevator supplies the previously treated burnable waste material to the drum and is provided with spray nozzles that may be optionally employed to cool or provide moisture to the waste material to more effectively enable the waste material to be compressed and compacted into cubes.

Abstract: A pellet mill (1) is provided with a control unit with the help of which a desired value of press roll slippage, e.g. zero or a pre-selectable peak value can be maintained. For this purpose, the pellet mill (1) comprises a first measuring unit (27, 28) for measuring the circumferential speed of the perforated die (8) as well as a second measuring unit (23, 24) for measuring the circumferential speed of the press rolls (11, 12). In a comparator (30, 31), the two circumferential speeds are compared and on exceeding a pre-selectable peak value for the difference of the two measured values, a slip signal is created by means of which the mill drive, and/or the supply of basic material to be formed is influenced in such a manner that the slippage will be prevented.

Abstract: Apparatus for separating liquids and solids, comprising, separator screen means for receiving and separating the solids and liquids, conveyor means for feeding the separated solids upwardly from the separator screen means, and compactor means for compacting the solids, the conveyor means comprising a first conveyor extending at a first upward inclination through the separator screen means and a second conveyor extending further upwardly and at a greater inclination than the first conveyor means.

Abstract: For making food pellets, the raw material is first subjected to a first pelleting treatment under pressure, after which the obtained pelleted product is treated at least in part on a pressure pelleter at least for a second time. A feeding arrangement for feeding the material once pelleted to a pelleting die is respectively arranged either within a single pressure pelleter or between two pressure pelleters connected in series for carrying out such process.

Abstract: A housing for receiving a working amount of dough, a shaft mounted on a central axis within the housing, a first wall, curved on a radius from the central axis and having a plurality of apertures formed through it. A feed cylinder mounted on the shaft, the cylinder having a surface eccentric about the central axis with the highest point of eccentricity approximately equal to but less than that of the radius, so that as it is rotated it traverses the apertures with the highest eccentricity in intimate association with them, for separating portions of dough from the working amount. For dough of heavy consistency, spring means is included for urging touching contact between the cylinder and the curved wall, and a cut-off edge may be provided on the cylinder at its highest point of eccentricity.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a mechanical, continuous dewartering press for a fibrous material, in which press the material to be dewatered is dewatered by compression between a perforated revolving drum and a roll revolving in the said drum so that the high compression force required in the dewatering and the high tangential force resulting from the revolving of the roll are directed by means of levers journalled on the end plates of the frame of the press onto the end plates, on which the counter-blades are also journalled.

Abstract: Dewatering press, which is provided with a perforated rotary drum and with a press roll revolving inside the drum, between which the material to be dewatered is compressed and wherein the compressing force of the press roll is produced by means of compression levers, on which the shaft of the press roll is journalled, and the rotary movement of the roll is produced by means of a gearbox, which has been made so that a compression lever and an ordinary pivot gearbox have been built together, whereby the entire machine becomes of shorter length, of lower weight, and simpler.

Abstract: This invention is a machine for squeezing water out of peat or other material of low tensile strength; the machine including an inner roll eccentrically positioned inside a tubular outer roll, so as to form a gradually increasing pinch area at one point therebetween, so that, as the rolls rotate, the material is placed between the rolls, and gets wrung out when passing through the pinch area.

Abstract: A bark press including a frame and supporting rollers rotatably carried on the frame. These rollers support a rotatable dewatering drum, within which is eccentrically located a press roll, the outside surface of this press roll and the inner surface of the dewatering drum defining a press gap therebetween. The outside surface of the dewatering drum carries at least one ratchet circle with which at least one pressure cylinder cooperates. One end of this pressure cylinder is supported by the frame of the press and the opposite end rotating the dewatering drum step by step through the ratchet circle.
