Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry out the extraction of juice from a juicy pasturage, etc. with small power consumption, in high efficiency, by using a conical rotary cylinder opened at both ends and having a number of perforations at the circumference to discharge the juice, and supplying the raw material to the cylinder from the opening having small diameter and discharging the residue from the large-diameter side. CONSTITUTION:The pasturage supplied from the inlet 2 into the cylinder 1 is pressed by the centrifugal force caused by the high-speed rotation of the cylinder 1. The juice contained in the pasturage is separated therefrom along the radial direction, and discharged from the cylinder through the small perforations 10, 10.... The raw material in the cylinder 1 is moved gradually to the large-diameter side by the force component along the cylinder wall while separating its juice component, and is discharged from the outlet port 3.

る。(0) Prior Art By removing moisture from succulent irregularly shaped materials such as grass, it becomes easier to handle, saves labor in transportation, storage, etc., and yields good silage. It is clear that In general, pasture grass has a high moisture content, is irregularly shaped, and requires a large amount of handling, requiring a lot of labor and energy for transportation, storage, etc., and fresh grass cannot be used as fill grass for silage. The problem is that there is too much water.

その対策として、従来、牧草を搾汁するために■スクリ

を往復運搬しなければならない、という問題があった。As a countermeasure against this problem, methods such as (1) screw press, (2) roll pressing, and (2) belt pressing have been used to squeeze the grass. However, the screw press type (■) requires a lot of power and is very low in efficiency, the roll type (■) requires less power but is low in efficiency, and the belt type (roughly ■) has low efficiency and low efficiency. There are disadvantages such as poor juice extraction rate,
Because both of these facilities are set up in the form of facilities, there was a problem in that large amounts of fresh grass and pressed grass had to be transported back and forth.

当である。In addition, as a method of dehydration, if a juice extraction device based on the principle of centrifugal dehydration is used, like the dehydrator used in washing machines,
Dehydration (juice extraction) is possible with a small output, but with this device,
Since it is a batch method, materials must be taken in and out little by little, resulting in low efficiency and being unsuitable for squeezing large amounts of grass.

It can be done. Centrifugal continuous squeezing enables highly efficient harvesting and squeezing of grass regardless of rain or shine, greatly reducing the labor and energy required for transportation by transporting the weighed grass from the grassland. It is an object of the present invention to provide a juice method.

The squeezed raw material is supplied from the supply port on the small diameter side of the device, and inside the rotating cylinder, water in the material is removed by the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the rotating cylinder, and is released from the material through small holes on the circumferential surface of the rotating cylinder. The discharged material slides sequentially inside the rotary cylinder toward the large diameter side while removing moisture due to the G component of the rotating cylinder, and is discharged from the discharge port provided at the large diameter end. That is.

The small diameter portion of the rotating cylinder 1 is directly supported by a rotating support 5, and rotational power is transmitted from a power source (not shown) to a pulley 6 fixed to the rotating support 5 via a belt. Further, on the large diameter side of the cylinder 1, a rotation shaft 8 provided at the center of rotation is supported by a rotation support part 9 via a flange 7, so that the rotation cylinder 1 rotates at high speed. There is. Also,
On the outer circumferential surface of the rotating cylinder 1, there are a large number of l" holes 10, 10,

搾汁され、低水分の重量の軽いものとなっている。Therefore, the high moisture (juice) contained in the grass that is sequentially supplied into the cylinder 1 from the supply port 2 is released in the rotational radial direction by the centrifugal force caused by the high speed rotation of the cylinder 1, and the small holes 10. 10・
...is discharged to the outside. In addition, the material inside the cylinder 1 moves sequentially to the larger diameter side under the sliding component force, and is squeezed during this movement, so that the material that reaches the discharge port 3 and is discharged is sufficiently squeezed and has a low It has a light weight of water.
