APPARATUS FOR EXPRESSING PRODUCT RESIDUE OUT OF SOFT TANKS AND METHOD FOR APPLICATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B30B3/02 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to industrial machinery and is intended for expressing the residual contents out of flexitank-type soft liquid tanks, including soft tanks located inside containers. Apparatus for expressing product residue from soft tanks comprises a body and two rolls mounted in the body on trunnions in parallel and with a gap between the rolls. The body is made in the form of a frame structure with trunnions secured in the side walls thereof. The trunnions of both rolls therein are configured to transmit torque using a drive from the driving one to the driven one via gears secured thereto. The trunnions of the driven roll therein are configured to be displaced along the side walls, and each trunnion of the driven roll is spring-loaded with a stop against the edge of the side wall, and wheels are installed in the base of the frame body. Two pulleys are secured to the axle of the upper roll on both sides of the roll, wherein each pulley is configured for the end of a cable to be fixed thereon.

EFFECT: possibility of expressing the residual liquid product incapable of flowing out by gravity out of soft tanks located inside a container.
