The tank kit also includes two round metal meshes laid on top of apples: the first with a mesh size of 1 mm, the second - 0,5 mm (So that the meshes do not crumble, they are soldered around the perimeter); a wooden (oak, beech) punch disc with holes for the passage of juice, another disc of a smaller diameter (so as not to block the punch holes) and a lug spacer made of a wooden beam, used when there is not enough jack travel.

Car jack, developing a force of up to 5 tons. It is installed on a filled (2-3 buckets of apples) tank assembled with a press kit and rests against the upper cross member of the frame.

Rice. 1. Tank with a set for pressing (click to enlarge): 1 - spacer bar, 2 - jack thrust disk. 8 - punch disk, 4 - fine mesh, 5 - coarse mesh. 6 - tank with drain pipe

I want to immediately stipulate some restrictions on the possible replacement of parts. They relate primarily to the disk-punch: not so much in terms of the material for its manufacture, but in terms of its thickness - it should not be less, because thanks to it, the displacement up and "(feed" to the drain hole of the squeezed juice occurs. And here is the upper grid can be replaced.It plays the role of a filter, so a gauze folded in several layers is quite suitable instead.Similarly, the lower channels: instead use wooden beams of a suitable section connected for stability by crossbars.The purpose of this base is to ensure that the press is tilted to drain the remaining juice .

Rice. 2. Press frame: 1 - sidewalls (channel 100), 2 - thrust beam (channel 100), 3 - reinforcement of the beam (channel 80), 4 - supporting pair of beams (channel 100), 5 - base (channel 100), 6 - hinge (M10 bolt)

The very same process of obtaining juice consists of two operations. The first is preparatory: apples are pre-crushed in a small barrel with a pusher so that they fit more into the press tank and the juice is squeezed more easily. Then grids, a punch disk, a smaller disk-thrust of the jack are placed in the filled tank, and the jack itself is placed with an emphasis on the upper crossbar of the frame. Next, the jack is actuated, as usual, by an extension lever, and the juice begins to rise to the drain hole.

As the punch is lowered, if necessary, a spacer bar is placed under the jack. When the juice flow stops, the unit tilts thanks to the hinge at the base - and the remaining juice is drained. Then the cycle repeats.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Solar tower lights up Las Vegas 15.02.2012

SolarReserve has completed major work on a solar power project near Las Vegas. This power plant will use molten salt to store energy stored during the day and transfer it to the city at nightfall.

The project is called the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project. The station itself is a tower about 165 m high. According to the creators, this power plant will be able to produce up to 110 MW of electricity by the end of 2013. The storage capacity will provide full power for 10 hours. Thus, the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project can become a full-fledged permanent source of electricity, capable of supplying part of Las Vegas.

The SolarReserve project differs from similar ones in that only one energy carrier is used here - molten salt at a temperature of about 1000 ° C. At the same time, salt is stored in a special tank at a temperature of about 500 ° C. After that, part of it is delivered to a special compartment, where it is heated and melts. Next, the melt enters another tank, from where it goes to a heat exchanger to generate energy.

In the summer, the company plans to install 10 mirrors around the tower, each of which is several square meters in area. These mirrors will reflect sunlight and direct it to a special receiver measuring more than 30 m. The mirrors will be located at a distance of more than 3 km around the tower.
