pigoleaiattent PRESSING For most foods including fruits and vegetables with high pectin and starch content, and foods that "pack" under pressure. HORIZONTAL CONTINUOUS S-PRESS RSP Series Patented Rotating Cushion Cone Press liquor from the three stages of pressing can be collected separately. Stainless steel contact parts protect against corrosion and assure maximum product quality. Features such as counter-weighted screens allow easy cleaning with much less down time, and increased sanitation during operation. Vari-Speed Drive and adaptability to a variety of perforated drain screens offer maximum flexibility for desirable results with different products under varying conditons. High yields are attained from patented "Creeping Cushion Cone" design that overcomes tendency of many products to "channel" and discharge before pressing is fully completed. Liquid is drained through 360 of the cone. Rietz cushion cone, rotating at a different RPM than the screw, assures maximum liquid removal, by preventing press cake from obstructing the discharge area. The air cylinder assures constant pressure on the cone even at varying feed rate and liquid content yielding a cake with controlled moisture content. RIETZ PRESSING SYSTEM I PRODUCT 'PAPER PICKER For processes that require size reduction and press aid, Rietz Disintegrators and Rietz Paper Pickers combine with the S-Press to provide a complete system.
