Definitions
- the invention relates to an automatic device for pressing packs or bulk containers, intended to recover liquids, in particular milk or fruit juices, which they contain.
- the invention relates to an automatic device for pressing said packs or containers, which eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.
- the automatic device according to the invention is essentially characterized in that it comprises, in combination, a support plate, on which the packs or containers to be pressed rest, adapted to take a high position for pressing the packs and a position low for pressing containers; a pressing plate, animated by a vertical back-and-forth movement, adapted to press said packs or containers and a means adapted to delimit, with the pressing plate and the support plate, a volume closed during the entire phase of pressing.
- the means adapted to delimit a closed volume is:
- FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the device according to the invention in the case of stacked packs (pressing plate in the high position associated with a skirt);
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view of said device, pressing plate in the low position
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the device according to the invention in the case of bulk containers (pressing plate in the high position associated with a tank);
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view of said device, pressing plate in the low position.
- the device shown in the figures comprises, in combination, a support plate (3), on which the packs (4) or containers (9) to be pressed rest, adapted to take a high position for pressing the packs (4) and a position low for pressing the containers (9); a pressing plate (1), driven in a vertical reciprocating movement, adapted to press said packs or containers and a means (2.10) adapted to delimit, with the plate (1) and the support ( 3), a closed volume during the entire pressing phase.
- a support plate (3) on which the packs (4) or containers (9) to be pressed rest, adapted to take a high position for pressing the packs (4) and a position low for pressing the containers (9);
- a pressing plate (1) driven in a vertical reciprocating movement, adapted to press said packs or containers and a means (2.10) adapted to delimit, with the plate (1) and the support ( 3), a closed volume during the entire pressing phase.
- the means (2) is a skirt driven by the plate (1) and adapted, when it comes into contact with an element (11) of the work surface located in the extension of the plate (3) in the high position, for sliding relative to said plate (1) so as to keep the pressing volume of the packs (4) closed until the end of said operation;
- the means (10) is a tank bounded, at its bottom, by the plate (3) in the low position and adapted to keep the pressing volume of the containers (9) closed until the end of said operation.
- the plate (1) comprises, on its pressing face, a plate (5), of rubbery material, having a thickness and a consistency adapted to match the shape of the surface of the pressed packs or containers.
- Said plate (1) is driven in its reciprocating movement by means (6) of the jack type and the plate (3) by means (12) also of the jack type.
- - has a loading area (A) followed by a pressing area (B) itself followed by a drip area (C);
- - is associated with a means, of the chain (7) and cleat type (8,13), driven back and forth and adapted to drive the packs (4) of the loading (A) to the drip zone (C) passing through the pressing zone (B).
- the interval between the cleats (8), intended to drive the packs to be pressed (4) from the loading area (A) to the pressing area (B), and the cleats (13), intended to drive the packs pressed (4) from the pressing zone (B) to the draining zone (C), is greater than the width of the skirt (2) which defines the pressing volume.
- the tank (10) is supplied by a hopper (15) (tiltable or not);
- the plate (3) rises the pressed containers (9) which are then driven, from the pressing zone (B) to the draining zone (C), by means of cleats (13).
- a tank (14) for recovering liquids is placed under the worktop.
- the chains (7) are driven by pulleys (16).
