A shaping apparatus for shaping a workpiece includes a controlling module and a pressing module, a moving module, a sensing module and a shaping calculation module that are connected to the controlling module. The pressing module includes two pressing elements respectively applying load to a top/bottom surface of the workpiece. The moving module includes a moving platform moving the workpiece horizontally between a sensing zone and a processing zone. The sensing module performs a capturing process on the workpiece in the sensing zone to obtain a surface information. The shaping calculation module compares the surface information with an ideal shape data to calculate and get a shaping information. The moving platform moves the workpiece to the sensing zone. The sensing module performs a capturing process on the workpiece. The moving platform moves the workpiece to the processing zone. The pressing module performs a shaping treatment on the workpiece.

A radial press comprises a housing having a lateral portion and a supporting disk on the end face. A ring-like structure extends in the housing and can be displaced along a pressing axis. Multiple pressing jaws arranged around the axis are radially movably supported on the supporting disk. The ring-like structure acts upon the jaws with control faces angled relative to the axis and are seated against counter-faces of the jaws. The angle of the control faces changes as they progress in the axial direction, such that, along the maximum path of travel of the ring-like structure, the axial movement of said structure and the radial movement of the jaws produced thereby are at different ratios. The ring-like structure has exchangeable control elements on which control faces are provided. In planes perpendicular to the pressing axis, each control face is seated on a polygon having corners arranged between adjacent jaws.

A method and system for extracting fluids from plant parts is provided. Plant parts are placed into a filter bag that is placed within a fluid impermeable holder, which is generally a non-stick holder such as wax paper or parchment. The fluid impermeable holder is placed into a press that is operable at an elevated temperature. The press applies pressure at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time to the fluid impermeable holder and filter bag to compress the plant parts and squeeze or extrude the fluid from the plant parts. After a predetermined time, the press is opened and the fluid impermeable holder is removed. The filter bag, with residual plant parts, is removed from the fluid impermeable holder. The fluid impermeable holder is manipulated to collect the fluids, which manipulation may include freezing the fluids and peeling the fluids from the inner surface of the bag.
