Title: Improvements in Leaching and Tanning Apparatus
Inventor: WALTER CHARLES MAXIMILIAN
Filed: 1902-11-11
Granted: 1903-01-15
Abstract: 24,763. Walter, C. M. Nov. 11. Extracts, decoctions, and infusions.- Relates to a machine applicable both for leaching bark and for tanning hides in the liquor obtained thereby. In the edges of a vat are formed bearings for the trunnions of a compound drum comprising an inner wire-gauze drum 4 and an outer openwork or skeleton drum 5. The drum is built up of discs 6, radial arms 7, rings 15, 8, and slats 12, 9. Wire-gauze sectors 14 close the ends of the inner drum, and a peripheral wall of wire gauze completely encloses it. A door is formed in the periphery to permit of ready access to the interior. Hooks 10 to which hides h may be attached are fixed in the rings 8 of the outer skeleton drum. Pins 13 project into the inner drum from the slats 12. The trunnions at opposite sides of two adjacent vats are secured to a large spur-wheel 17 gaaring with a pinion 18 on a driving-shaft 19. The spur-wheel thus drives the drums in both vats. Each vat is provided with a perforated false bottom 22, beneath which is a steam-pipe 25 for heating purposes. An outlet duct 23 with plug 24 is provided. The hood 28 has doors at one end which can be opened to regulate the temperature. In leaching bark, the drum 4 is filled with ground bark and is rotated in the tank, which contains the required quantity of water. The liquor is drawn off to cool, the leached bark removed from the drum 4, and the liquor returned to the vat for tanning the skins, which are fastened to the hooks 10 for that purpose. Fresh bark is placed in the drum 4 before the tanning operation to maintain the strength of the tanning-liquor. Sixty hours is stated to be sufficient to tan the heaviest steer hides into sole leather. Bark liquor alone is employed, no extracts being added to it.
