Definitions

  • This invention relates to the device for producing fodder and/or fuel by means of pressing vegetable materials, which includes a matrix shaped as a ring with small channels designed with a circular cross-section onto the mouth of which fits at least one rolling-off body, with separate channels including the conical entering/tapering end connected to the mouth and the linked up cylindrical channel section, with the conical entering/tapering end length being equal to 15% to 30% of the total channel length.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to find such a design/construction of a device to produce fodder and/or fuel by means of pressing vegetable materials, e.g. the wastes resulting from cleaning seeds of farming plants, through which a higher consistence of produced pellets for their combustion and/or their better digestibility for the purpose of their use up as fodder will be achieved.
  • vegetable materials e.g. the wastes resulting from cleaning seeds of farming plants
  • the device of the present invention for producing fodder and/or fuel by means of pressing vegetable materials, which includes a matrix shaped as a ring with small channels designed with a circular cross-section onto the mouth of which fits at least one rolling-off body, with separate channels including a conical entering/tapering end connected to the mouth and the linked up cylindrical channel section, with the conical entering/tapering end length being equal to 15% to 30% of the total channel length.
  • the substance of the invention includes that, on the lower side and from the conical entering/tapering end averted side of the matrix, at least one additional matrix is designed in which in an exact alignment with the matrix channels the axially laid out channels with identical cross-sections are also made, and the matrix is connected with at least one additional matrix in such way in which it can be dismantled or knocked down.
  • the described equipment thus enables an effective production of fodder or fuel e.g. from the wastes resulting from the cleaning of seeds of farming plants, and it is also possible to supplement these wastes resulting from the cleaning of seeds of farming plants with up to 10 percent of the weight of another usable-as-fodder or combustible component of vegetable and/or mineral origin, when related to the overall weight of the fodder or fuel.
  • Wastes resulting from the cleaning of seeds will be therefore pressed according to the invention into pellets or briquettes.
  • Pellets and briquettes thus contain the wastes resulting from the cleaning of seeds, subsequently pressed.
  • the materials of non-vegetable origin they may include, namely, wastes from slaughterhouses and other materials of animal origin usable for fodder.
  • combustible organic or inorganic admixtures may be added to fuel.
  • the matrix is connected with at least one additional matrix in a way in which it can be dismantled or knocked down by axially laid out clamping bolts passing through corresponding holes along the external circumferences of the matrices.
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a matrix with axially laid out channels.
  • FIG. 2 is an axial longitudinal cross-section of the matrix shown in FIG. 1 along lines 2 - 2 with axially laid out channels and three additional matrices.
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the matrix of FIG. 1 with axially laid out channels and an example rolling-off body.
  • FIG. 4 is an axial longitudinal cross-section of the matrix shown in FIG. 3 along lines 4 - 4 with axially laid out channels and three additional matrices and the example rolling-off body.
  • the device for producing fodder and/or fuel by means of pressing vegetable materials, e.g. wastes from cleaning of seeds of farming plants, according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1-4 includes a matrix 1 or matrix member shaped as a ring with a central axis 5 and with a plurality of separate axially laid out channels 2 having a circular cross-section onto the mouths 21 of which at least one rolling-off body there fits or moves, e.g. a body 4 of a cylindrical shape shown in an example embodiment in FIGS. 3-4 , which rolls away under pressure on the circular path of the top face of the matrix 1 , and presses the waste positioned on the top face of the matrix 1 into the mouths 21 of separate channels 2 shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 .
  • Other types and shapes of rolling-off bodies in addition to or instead of the body 4 may be used, and any known mechanism may be used for rolling the rolling-off body 4 over the surface of the matrix 1 to press the waste into the mouths 21 .
  • the compacted waste may be removed from the bottom of each channel 2 , for example, by applying additional pressure to the compacted waste to form the pellets or to form elongated compacted waste which is later fabricated into pellets, or the additional matrices 11 , 12 , 13 may be removed with the compacted waste still within the channels 2 for removal of the compacted waste as pellets from the removed additional matrices 11 , 12 , 13 .
  • Separate channels 2 thus include the conical ending/tapering end 22 , linked to the mouths 21 and the connected cylindrical section 23 of each channel 2 , with the length of the entering/tapering end 22 being equal to between about 15% and about 30% of the total length of each channel 2 .
  • the substantial point of the present invention is that the diameter of cylindrical section 23 of each channel 2 is designed at a certain ratio to the total length of the each channel 2 , e.g. within a range of from about 1:11 to about 1:14.
  • each channel 2 is usually in the portion of its cylindrical section 23 within a range from about 6 mm to about 20 mm, which is then the diameter of the produced pellets thus formed in each channel 2 and removed therefrom.
  • the essential point is the above mentioned ratio of the diameter to the total length of each channel 2 and/or the value of the total length of each channel 2 if the channel diameter has been given, depending on the type of the vegetation material processed, its moisture, content of certain components, etc. That is why it is desirable that the total length of each channel 2 could be flexibly modified depending on these properties and parameters of the vegetable material processed.
  • Matrix 1 is composed of a quality material with a refined surface on its upper side in which several hundreds of accurate channels 2 with conical entering/tapering ends 22 are made; however, fabrication of such a matrix 1 may be a relatively costly affair so that it is hardly possible to avail on a continuous basis of a set of matrices 1 distinguished by various thickness rates and/or various diameters of each channel 2 .
  • Another problem is the fact that after a longer time of service of matrix 1 , a certain mutual “running in” of the upper side of the matrix 1 with the rolling-off bodies 4 takes place, together with the increased output of the whole equipment, which would be negatively affected by replacement of the matrix 1 by another matrix with a different thickness.
  • a solution of this problem according to the invention includes that the matrix 1 has a certain basic thickness which may equal at a diameter of the cylindrical section 23 of each channel 2 to be in the range of, e.g., about 12 mm to about 70 mm, and this matrix 1 is supplemented as required by additional matrices 11 , 12 , 13 attached to matrix 1 from below, each of which is designed with a thickness of e.g. about 15 mm, as shown in FIG. 2 .
  • These additional matrices 11 , 12 , 13 are also designed with channels 2 of the same diameter, in the exact alignment with the channels 2 of the matrix 1 .
  • These channels 2 in the additional matrices 11 , 12 , 13 are cylindrical all over their length, which means that they lack the conical entering/tapering ends 22 of the channels 2 in the matrix 1 .
  • the matrix 1 is connected with the additional matrix or matrices 11 , 12 , 13 , for example, by clamping screws 3 shown in FIG. 2 , which pass through the corresponding axial bores laid out at regular angular intervals about the axis 5 along the external periphery of the matrices 11 , 12 , 13 .
  • These clamping screws 3 are designed, for example, with conical heads 31 sunk into the upper side of the matrix 1 and are tightened by nuts 32 .
  • the described design according to the invention enables a flexible adjustment of the total length of each channel 2 depending on the service conditions and the type and nature of the materials processed.
  • the submitted solution according to the invention enables both the ecologically and economically advantageous utilization of vegetable materials.
  • Obtained fodder may be fed in the shape of briquettes or pellets in most cases of animal husbandry.
  • a similarly obtained fuel may be burned without any problem in standard incinerators.
