Description: |
Abstract:
The rollers of sugarcane mills usually consist of a cast iron roll or shell pressed onto and keyed to a steel shaft having suitable journals. Each shaft is provided with a pinion. The top or driven roller of a three roller mill, by means of these pinions, thus drives the two lower or front and rear rollers, respectively termed the feed roller and the discharge roller. The rolls are usually grooved transversely to their axis with V-shaped grooves, for the purpose of increasing the effective surface of the rolls.
Claim:
A sugarcane mill roller provided with a plurality of acute angle grooves of less than thirty-five degrees adapted to anchor on the roller a portion of the bagasse, whereby a gripping surface formed of the bagasse itself is presented to the sugarcane passing through the mill. |
