2/1250

Posted on by layout

The two-pots press 2/1250 applies a 1250 kg/cm² specific pressure on the product. Another concentrate of technology, this press is dedicated to laboratories working on major quantities of product or repeating the tests on a high quantity of product; here the repeatability is an essential research element.

The manual loading is about 10 times higher than the 1/1400 line and it may load cocoa and hazelnut masses or other products like oily seeds in general.
To facilitate the pressing of different products, the loading group has got a double diameter.

Technical Data

Loading Capacity: 4,8 l
Specific pressure on the product: 1250 kg/cm²

1/1400

Posted on by layout

The one-pot press 1/1400 is a high technology concentrate: it applies a specific pressure of 1400 Kg/cmq on the product and hence it represents the best press dedicated to research.
The press is manually loaded with cocoa and hazelnut masses or other products, as well as oily seeds and generally with everything needs to be detached from a basic element applying a strong pressure. The loading group has got a double diameter in order to facilitate the products pressing.
To facilitate the pressing processes where a low residual percentage is required to be extracted from the basic product, the 1/1400 laboratory press has a got a variable loading chamber, setting up by the software.

Technical Data

Loading Capacity: from 0,20 to 0,55 Lt
Specific pressure on the product: up to 1400 kg/cmq

Cake Braker Series G10S – G15S

Posted on by Topgraf sistemisti

Our Series G10S and G15S is composed of special breakers properly studied for laboratories.
Their purpose is to crush the cakes coming from the pressing process in order to achieve controlled sized crushed products.

The fat residues in the cakes to be crushed may vary from 9% up to 24%.
These breakers are valuable also in nibs and other products processing requiring a pre-crushing to allow a subsequent shell separation.

Technical features of G10S and G15S breakers are properly studied to fit to laboratories needs.

Cleaning

To clean both mill group and selecting grids is extremely easy and fast; it allows crushing different products in a short time preventing any contaminations among them.

Unloading

To avoid any dust spreads and product contaminations, the crushed product is directly unloaded into a “food” tank screwed under the mill group.

Safety

The load of the product to be crushed is manually operated from a swan beak hopper protecting the operator from any contacts with the mills. In addition the sensors cut motor energy in case the covers on both grid and transmission sides open.

Modularity

An essential element reflecting our will to adapt ourselves to any customer’s specific needs is the modularity of the mill group as the possibility to have different hammers configurations, modular grids and different sizes selecting devices.

Handling

Our breakers are provided with wheels, to make handling easier, and equipped with blocking devices for a firm workspace.

Melting Series MT10 – MT20

Melting system function

The melting system is used in case of panels, cocoa blocs or other masses to be melt at a right temperature and slow stirring avoiding so to alter the original features of the product. After setting the melting point this value will be kept. In case masses had to be brought to a higher temperature, the MT/10 will provide a controlled increasing until reaching the pre-set value without altering the original features.

Conditioning function

Conditioning is the necessary action to bring a liquid mass to a set and kept steady temperature value. The MT will provide a controlled increasing up to the reaching of the pre-set value without altering the original features. For example cocoa liquor, hazelnut mass or oily seeds have to be conditioned and blended in order fats or oils are homogeneous by leveling the extraction effect in pressing.

Melting-Conditioning system: the features

It is important that temperatures control and increase may be set and checked according to the temperatures of the heating element compared with the ones of the products to be heated.
In both phases a stirrer, equipped with special blades and scraper, stirs the product according to the set speed until process completion.

This is a perfect balance: conditioning is made in a stainless steel double-wall tank. A special resistance warms the external tank heating so the internal one by a diathermic liquid kept into circulation. The uniform heating spreads to the product in contact with the surface of the inner tank.

Scales BS Series

These scales are prearranged or the floor location.
They are fit for installations where BT Series scales cannot be assembled due to positioning heights. These scales lean on special cells which base is secured to the central support of the scale. Due to their position in the center of the tank, they aren’t influenced by abnormal loadings. The steel tank is provided with an inspection port, a level probe and a temperature probe which checks the butter condition and stops the pump in case it falls down to 45°.

The heated scale bottom avoids butter consolidation during prolonged production stops. The BS Series scales perfectly replace the imprecise first-generation ones. The group shall be connected to the logical operation of the plant simply by linking up to the on-board electric box.

Capacity: 150 l

PMT

Posted on by layout

It is designed to guarantee a simple, fast and correct mounting of the filter cloths on the filter- holding plates; essential to ensure a longer filter cloths life.
This specific equipment ensures the centering of the cloths compared with the plate, a proper positioning of the cloth and the insertion of the teflon cord to be automatically pressed into the seat for a perfect cloths fixing on the plate with an uniform tension.

The closing occurs by means of a hydraulic cylinder controlled by a power pack. The power applied to the piston rod is 20 ton. Electrical panel, hydraulic safety valves, simultaneously operated double push-button panel ensure a safe use of the press according to the most restrictive safety rules.

The electro-welded steel structure of the press is calculated and dimensioned to avoid any bending. The hydraulic power pack is lodged in the lower part of the frame, the electrical panel itself is fixed on the back outer side of the frame. These presses may be equipped to mount cloths on the plates of any manufacturer’s presses.

Pre-Mixing Tank

Posted on by layout

The modern lines of squeezing high performance require an excellent homogenization of the product to ensure maximum efficiency, GSR strong experience has created a series of pre-mixing tanks to ensure perfect homogeneity and reduce the time of preparation of the cocoa mass for the presses.

Technical Data

Capacity: from 1000 to 2500 l

Comb Security

Posted on by layout

The comb security completes the safety systems offered by GSR.
This is placed at the top of the press in front of the liquor load collector and consists of a horizontal bar on which are set spacers equal in number to the number of pots/counter-pots.

The bar is movable and is operated by one pneumatic cylinder placed on the head of the press.
With the press open, the bar goes down and the spacers fit between pots and counter-pots preventing any movements (due to accidental causes).

Safety

GSR priority is ensuring that machines could work safely, continuously and without interruptions. GSR presses are safeguarded by a transparent protection assembled on a stainless steel frame which protects the operator from any risks. The opening of GSR presses may be done manually or powered by electrical energy; both models are interlocked by a comb safety system able to block all pots. It is only in this case that the protection may be opened, to give access on the press
directly.
According to needs and rooms these protections may be two or four-door type and installed on every kind of presses.

Structures

Posted on by layout

Structures are designed according to the installation type, number of presses installed as well as the lay out and the forecast process flow. In general the structures consist only in press bearing plinths and supports for conveyor, breaker, scale and pumps. The specific project extends to platform, ladders and handrails.

All parts are in electro-welded steel submitted to anti-corrosion treatments and then powder coated.
