A baler and methods of operating a baler. For example, the baler includes a housing defining an interior volume, the interior volume comprising a compression portion and a loading portion. The baler also includes a first closure movably coupled with the housing and operative to enclose the compression portion and a second closure movably coupled with the housing and operative to enclose the loading portion. Further, the baler includes a reciprocating compression assembly including a linear actuator and a platen operably coupled with the linear actuator. The platen is movable between a retracted position and an extended position in response to actuation of the linear actuator. Additionally, the first closure defines at least one recess therein and a lip extending about at least a portion of the at least one recess. The lip is operative to engage with compressible material disposed in the compression portion.

A roller press includes a frame assembly and a force generation device. The force generation device is configured to move so that it is removable when top members of the frame assembly are connected to the side members of the frame assembly and fixed in a closed horizontal position. The connection device for attaching the force generation device to the frame assembly includes a mounting plate and a hinge or sliding device.

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for a rosin press that allows improved extraction over existing presses. Computerized systems are provided for controlling and monitoring the system in an automated fashion, including via a wireless device or a server.

A device for supporting a roller bearing housing of a double-roll crusher is provided, wherein each roller has a fixed bearing with a non-self-aligning design and a floating bearing with a non-self-aligning design, and wherein at least one load distribution element is arranged between the machine frame of the double-roll crusher and the housing of each roller bearing. The at least one load distribution element has at least two elastic, spatially separated individual elements, with at least one recess between the individual elements providing a spatial separation in the vertical direction.

The present invention relates to a machine frame for a roll crusher that has two side walls and two end walls, where the mentioned end walls accommodate the storage of the rolls. The end walls are split horizontally in the area of the mounting of the rollers, and vertically between the mountings of the upper part. One advantage is that to remove a roller, removal of the respective upper end wall is sufficient. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the adjacent upper parts of the end walls do not touch. An advantage of this is that tilting of the end wall upper parts among each other or in contact with the side walls is prevented during removal. Furthermore, the gap resulting from the distance between the front wall upper parts in the preferred embodiment would be sealed, with the advantage that no material and dust can exit.

Disclosed is a lightweight two-crossbeam high-speed free forging hydraulic press. The hydraulic press includes a fixed crossbeam, a movable crossbeam, a column, and a return oil cylinder. By integrating a hydraulic cylinder with a through hole for the column to slide, an annular hydraulic cylinder is formed between the movable crossbeam and the column, and no hole is required to be specially provided on the movable crossbeam for mounting the hydraulic cylinder. Therefore, the rigidity, strength and bending resistance of the movable crossbeam serving as an upper crossbeam or a lower crossbeam can be effectively guaranteed, the crossbeam structure is simplified, and the manufacturing difficulty is reduced. Meanwhile, compared with the existing hydraulic press of a three-crossbeam structure, the two-crossbeam hydraulic press can greatly reduce the overall dimension and mass of the high-speed forging hydraulic press, reduce the overall height of the hydraulic press.

A press apparatus including: a frame including a support surface, the support surface allowing a lower die support for supporting a lower die to rest on the support surface in close contact therewith; a press shaft configured to support an upper die facing the lower die from vertically above the lower die and to vertically move the upper die relative to the frame in a state where the lower die support rests on the support surface; a chip discharge mechanism configured to rotate the lower die support around a horizontal axis; a force detection unit configured to detect a pressing force of the lower die support against the support surface; and a control unit configured to control the chip discharge mechanism so that the pressing force detected by the force detection unit is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold.

A baler is provided that includes a housing that defines a baling chamber and a plunger movable along an axis within the baling chamber to compress the crop material. The baler includes a first guide rail coupled to an exterior surface of the baling chamber and a second guide rail coupled to the exterior surface of the baling chamber. The baler includes at least one bearing coupled to the plunger to guide a movement of the plunger within the baling chamber. The bearing has a first bearing surface, a second bearing surface and a third bearing surface. The first bearing surface engages the first guide rail, the second bearing surface engages the first guide rail and the third bearing surface engages the second guide rail to constrain a vertical movement and a lateral movement of the plunger relative to the baling chamber.
