Continuously working press

I published a short paper in a somewhat obscure conference proceedings in which I disagreed with Brush.15 I then approached Worrall to see if he wanted to team-up with me to take a closer look at the issue. At first he did not seem too interested but this changed after I became a post-doctoral fellow at the LSE and continued to press Worrall to work on this project. 

Ref 28 continues work recommended by Ref 26. Results of the work indicated the Beeswax Substitute 776 and Pentawax 177 are most promising. When as little as 2% of either of these two waxes are properly applied to PETN, the sensitivity of the resulting expl to impact is approx equal to that of Tetryl. It is further reported that when the PETN-wax compns are pressed to densities above 1.43g/cc, increase in the proportion of the wax in PETN-wax compns results in an increase in the rate of detonation which may be as great as 190m/sec. 

The MOWT continued to press its case for the Westwells branch scheme against opposition from the MAP and the Ministry of Works, and on 18 September the MAP minuted the Treasury regarding the MOWT stance, warning that Apparently they are quite obdurate and will not provide road communication. The MOWT are running us into a railway scheme costing 250,000. ... 

The fusing process is performed by special fusing presses. They can be divided into two groups according to the way they perform the work process discontinuous work process (flat) fusing presses and continuous work process fusing presses. 

Continuously working double-belt presses are most suitable for an industrial, inexpensive and time-saving application of hot-compaction exclusively for continous profiles or flat sheets. These systems fixate the self-reinforced semifinished textile products between two tempered, continuously running steel belts and press them according to the predefined thickness and compaction degree requirements [58]. Conventional, isostatic hydraulic presses are suitable for smaller quantities (see Figure 22.5).

Two types of continuous flow solid oxide cell reactors are typically used in electrochemical promotion experiments. The single chamber reactor depicted in Fig. B.l is made of a quartz tube closed at one end. The open end of the tube is mounted on a stainless steel cap, which has provisions for the introduction of reactants and removal of products as well as for the insertion of a thermocouple and connecting wires to the electrodes of the cell. A solid electrolyte disk, with three porous electrodes deposited on it, is appropriately clamped inside the reactor. Au wires are normally used to connect the catalyst-working electrode as well as the two Au auxiliary electrodes with the external circuit. These wires are mechanically pressed onto the corresponding electrodes, using an appropriate ceramic holder. A thermocouple, inserted in a closed-end quartz tube is used to measure the temperature of the solid electrolyte pellet. 

In conclusion, the technology of total liquefaction of apple allows to work with a continuous process with less labour and faster than with a classical one, to get a high and constant yield during the whole processing season at a very high level (93- 95%), to get a pulp with a low content of solids (about 20% in volume) which can be centrifuged instead of pressed (lower investment in equipment), to decrease the quantity of waste pomace, to decrease the production costs. Liquefaction technology allows to process different fruits with the same process, at last to liquefy fruits for which no equipment had been developed to extract the juice or for which the use of pectinases did not allow to get juice such as tropical fruits.
