An apparatus for processing a waste battery is proposed. The apparatus includes a conveying unit having a conveying belt rotated by a plurality of rotating shafts which are rotated to convey the supplied waste battery in one direction, a pulverizer disposed on a position along a travelling direction of the conveying unit to pulverize the waste battery, a heater disposed on a downstream side of the pulverizer to heat dust formed by the pulverizer, a collector collecting the dust which passes through the pulverizer and the heater, a filter part filtering a pulverized material of the collector, a mixer supplying an additive to the dust discharged from a discharge pipe of the filter part, and a compressor compressing a mixture mixed in the mixer.

A rotary tablet press machine comprises a rotating compression turret which includes a die table, provided along a circumferential portion thereof with a plurality of dies, a plurality of first punches and second punches associated with respective dies; a dosing station for dosing high-porosity powdered product in the dies; a compression station provided with a first and a second compression roller adapted to linearly move respectively the first punches and the second punches within the respective dies in order to compress said product and producing tablets; and a compacting station arranged between the dosing station and the compression station and provided with at least one compacting cam adapted to push the first punches and/or the second punches within the respective dies in order to compact the dosed product and allow air in said product to exit.

An apparatus for manufacturing masonry blocks, comprising a shoe, a backup plate, a plurality of buffers disposed between the shoe and the backup plate, a plurality of snubbers disposed between the shoe and the backup plate and wherein a relaxed height of the plurality of buffers is equal to or less than a height of the plurality of snubbers.

A cutting insert is provided, comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of side surfaces spanning therebetween, and a cutting edge formed at an intersection of the side surface and a forwardly-disposed portion of the top the surface. It further comprises a cooling cavity projecting into the insert, a top end thereof being disposed further forwardly than an open bottom end thereof. The cooling cavity defines at least one molding axis such that a solid element having the shape of the cooling cavity and completely inserted therein may be retracted intact therefrom along a linear path parallel to the molding axis. A circumscribing portion is formed on the side surfaces encircling the cutting insert. The circumscribing portion is formed parallel to the molding axis and has a non-zero height along its entire extent. The cutting insert does not extend beyond the circumscribing portion.

A die having a cavity and a lower punch fitted into the cavity. The cavity is divided and the parts slide along a division plane passing through the cavity parallel to the fitting direction of the die and the lower punch. The divided cavity parts are placed in a state of alignment along the division plane. The divided cavity parts are each filled with raw material powder. The die and the lower punch are then slid along the division plane, whereby the divided cavity parts are combined as the original cavity. The raw material powder in the cavity in a combined state is compressed by an upper punch and the lower punch.

Provided is a sizing apparatus including: a die set including a die plate that holds a die provided with a through hole to which a workpiece is to be supplied, and upper and lower punches that are to be inserted into the through hole to press the workpiece; a press main body that includes punch driving mechanisms that actuate the punches and in which the die set is configured to be attached to and detached from a predetermined position; and a turntable that is rotated on the die plate and supplies a workpiece to the die and discharges a workpiece from the die. The die set includes the turntable, and a supporting base on which the turntable is placed. The supporting base includes an axis positioning portion that is provided coaxially with a central axis of the turntable and positions the central axis at a predetermined position of the supporting base.

A tooling assembly is for a powder compacting press machine, which has a lower punch chuck and a core rod chuck. The tooling assembly has: a lower punch with a lower punch drawbar for holding the lower punch in the lower punch chuck in the powder compacting press machine; a core rod with a core rod drawbar for holding the core rod in the core rod chuck in the powder compacting press machine; and a coupling mechanism configured to enable a connection between the lower punch and the core rod. The coupling mechanism has a male coupling element on an outer surface of the core rod and a female coupling element on an inner surface of the lower punch drawbar. The male coupling element is an elastic element.
