Description: |
| Abstract:
The invention relates to sugar -cane mills of the type employing three rolls in triangular arrangement, to wit, a lower feed roll, a lower discharge roll and an upper pressure roll cooperating with the two lower rolls to crush the cane and extract the juice therefrom. In mills of this character, it has been customary to provide one or more of the rolls with adjustable pressure devices, to regulate the pressure imposed upon the cane passing through the mill, and also to permit one of the rolls, usually the upper roll, to have a certain amount of movement relative to the other rolls in order to accommodate the different characters and conditions of the cane fed to the mill. According to the generally accepted sugar-mill practice, the adjustable pressure-applying devices take the form of hydraulic jacks associated with the journal bearings of one or more of the rolls and mounted in the frame of the mill to permit the roll or rolls thus provided to move away from the other rolls when a heavy feed of cane is delivered.
Claim:
In a sugarcane mill, the combination with the upper roll and two lower rolls, of regulable means for imposing compound pressure on the upper roll, the resultant of which pressure is constant as to direction and intensity for varying conditions of feed. |
