Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for a rosin press that allows improved extraction over existing presses. The press includes improved platens for rosin collection with built-in gutter rail collection systems and well-distributed force on the pressed product and multiple hydraulic rams. In addition, computerized systems are provided for controlling and monitoring the system in an automated fashion, as well as safety features to prevent injury and damage to the product, especially during automated pressing.

IPC Classes  ?

• B30B 9/06 - Presses specially adapted for particular purposes for squeezing-out liquid from liquid-containing material, e.g. juice from fruits, oil from oil-containing material using press rams co-operating with permeable casings or strainers
• B30B 15/04 - FramesGuides
• B30B 15/06 - Platens or press rams
• B30B 15/16 - Control arrangements for fluid-driven presses
• F16P 3/00 - Safety devices acting in conjunction with the control or operation of a machineControl arrangements requiring the simultaneous use of two or more parts of the body
• F16P 3/14 - Safety devices acting in conjunction with the control or operation of a machineControl arrangements requiring the simultaneous use of two or more parts of the body with means, e.g. feelers, which in case of the presence of a body part of a person in or near the danger zone influence the control or operation of the machine the means being photocells or other devices sensitive without mechanical contact
• B30B 1/34 - Presses, using a press ram, characterised by the features of the drive therefor, pressure being transmitted directly, or through simple thrust or tension members only, to the press ram or platen by plungers under fluid pressure involving a plurality of plungers acting on the platen
• C11B 1/08 - Production of fats or fatty oils from raw materials by pressing by hot pressing
• B30B 15/26 - Programme control arrangements
