Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to sugarcane mills and particularly to the bearings for the journals of the top roller of three roller mills. It has for its object to provide bearings which will permit of adjustment of the top roller horizontally as well as vertically, such that its position may be altered in relation to the center lines of the housings and 'to the feed and discharge rollers respectively. The opening between the top roller and the feed roller of sugarcane mills is always greater than that between the top roller and the discharge roller, and the crushing strain upon the cane between the top roller and the feed roller is always less than that between the top roller and the discharge roller. In a twelve roller mill, for example, the openings between the rollers became gradually less successively in the four mills, while the pressure applied to the top rollers by the hydraulic jacks becomes greater. In view of these facts, it is desirable to be able to adjust the position of the tap roller of each mill so as to cause the resultant line of force to be as nearly coincident as possible with the vertical center line of the to housings.
Claim:
In a sugarcane mill, a roller, an eccentric bushing in which the journal of the roller is mounted, a vertically movable bearing block, and means associated with said bearing block and said bushing to lock the "bushing against rotation when the said block is lowered and to permit the bushing to be circumferentially shifted when said block is raised. |
