VIRAAT-SE-I

All Steel Fabrication & Improved Design
For perfect alignment and stability.

Vertical Hinged 34” Three-section Pressing Box.
Entirely eliminates the difficult task of removing box for relining or for replacement of worms, which saves a lot of time and labour.

Steel Casted Chambers
Reduces time and labour for relining of Cage Bars.

Shaft Withdrawal
The main Worm Shaft can be withdrawn very easily without disturbing the gear section in any way and pressure worms and spacing collars can be changed without disturbing the shaft. The thrust of the pressure worm is taken upon a large thrust bearing.

Pressure Cone
The final pressure of the cake is positively controlled by a Pressure Cone which is hard faced.

Cake at Discharge
The cake thickness is controlled by a manually operated hand-wheel which is so simple that the choke gear is independent of the main drive and there is no possibility of a sudden load being placed on expeller motor.

Compressor
The Expeller feed is under automatic control and the seed or meal when entering the Expeller is given a preliminary compression by a small crammer-shaft driven by an automatically tensioned belt which stops when feed is excessive, starting again when the accumulation of feed has been absorbed by the Expeller.

Power
Oil Expeller is 15HP/20HP and for Cooker 3HP.

Gear Box & Lubrication
A double helical gear unit made from most suitable special steel running in oil bath. All shafts run on antifriction bearings. The drive housing is oil tight and dust proof, totally enclosed design and is fitted with two oil level indicators.

Kettle / Cooker
The Steam Kettle is of adequate capacity with 42” dia. two high steam jackets fitted with self controlled mean inlet to prevent overflowing with open steam spray arrangement, safety valve, steam pressure gauge, steam traps and steam valves. The Kettle requires 40-55 kgs. process steam per hour at a pressure of 4-5 kg/cm2.

Capacity
The capacity, however, varies with the material and working conditions. The average capacity is 8/10 tons in first pressing and 5/6 tons in second pressing.
