Abstract:

The operation of my improved cane-mill is as follows: Power being applied to the lower shaft, motion is given to the rollers in the direction of the arrows. The cane is passed through the stripper until engaged between the rollers. when it is drawn through, and by the action of the sharp edges and points of the caps at the external aperture it is stripped of its leaves, and the juice expressed at-the same time is received in the trough L. The aperture of the stripper is adapted to the size of the cane by the lateral rotary move The pressure upon the rollers is determined by the amount of weight on the levers. By the employment of channeled and tongued rollers, I am enabled to prevent the lateral spread of the cane. and thus confining it within the limits of the channel, subject it to a greater effective pressure, and by the arrangement of the packing, which acts as a wiper. I prevent the lateral distribution of the expressed juice over large surfaces and conduct it into proper vessels without the possibility of contact with the exhausted cane, which would quickly reabsorb it. By the introduction of a single cane to each pair of rollers I avoid imperfect crushing, the danger of clogging and the breakage incident to over-feeding, and am thus enabled to run the mill at much greater velocity than has hitherto been attained in machines for similar purposes.

Claim:

The arrangement and combination of the tongue and groove rollers A B, wiper F, and stripper.
