PRESS FOR SHREDDED FORAGE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A01F15/08 B30B11/28 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agricultural machinery industry and can be used for granulation and briquetting the forage. Press for shredded forage comprises two gear wheels with radial holes in the cavities and flanges on the sides of the gear wheels with a height equal to half the height of the tooth. The gear wheels are arranged horizontally. In the area of feeding the material the receiving chamber is located, formed by a base, rear and two side walls. The base is adjacent to the surface generators of the lower flanges. The upper bound of the base is in the same horizontal plane as the upper surfaces of the lower flanges. The rear wall is mounted so that the angle between it and the base from the side of the receiving chamber is blunt and does not exceed 135°. The lower part of the rear wall is tangent to the outer diameters of both pressing gears. The side walls of the pressing chamber converge at the point of contact of the pitch circles of pressing gears and are adjacent to the surface generators of the upper flanges on sectors with central angles of 90°. The lower end faces of the side walls of the pressing chamber are in the same horizontal plane as the lower surfaces of the upper flanges.

EFFECT: proposed press of shredded forage provides reduction of power consumption of the pressing process.
