Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to improvements in sugarcane mills, and particularly to mills of this character having hydraulic or fluid ns pressure applied to its top roller. In sugarcane mills having three rollers with their axes in triangular arrangement, the cane first enters and passes between the top roll and the front lower or feed roll, then over the returner-bar, and then between the top roll and the rear lower or discharge roll, from which the crushed cane is discharged. These rolls are set with the opening between the top roll and the feed roll greater than the opening between the top roll and the discharge roll, so that the crushing strain upon the cane is always greater in the latter case, that is to say, the force exerted to separate the top and discharge rolls always exceeds that exerted between the top and feed rolls. The resultant of these forces which tend to lift the top roll is therefore, not in a vertical plane but in an inclined plane. This produces a lateral thrust and causes the pressure of the top bearing brass of each of the journals of the top roller against the jaw of the housing to be greater on the feed side than on the discharge side.
Claim:
In a sugar-cane mill, the combination with the upper bearing of the top roller and the housing, of means interposed between said upper bearing and the vertical jaw of said housing to facilitate the vertical movement specified. |
