Abstract: 16,500. Allgemeine Briketierungs-Ges. Aug. 26, 1908, [Convention date]. Processes; rotary-mould-table machines. - Coal, salt, sawdust, ore, fuels, refuse, peat, waste metal, &c. are compressed into briquettes under great pressure applied in stages, the pressure increasing more rapidly to wards the end. Machines fitted with sliding moulds are preferably employed, and the pressure is controlled by a series of valves communicating with varying pressure supplies. The valves are operated successively by a cam &c., and each valve is closed as the succeeding one is opened, either mechanically or automatically by the increase of pressure. In Fig. 1, the ideal curves i, j represent the relation between the time in. seconds and pressure in atmospheres, the abscissµ representing times and the ordinates pressures. The steps I, II, &c. show the practical pressures and times employed. The object of the gradually increasing pressures is to expel the air more effectually in stages. The rotary table of the machine shown in Fig. 3 is driven step by step by means of a wormwheel g, on the shaft e, clutch f, f <1>, and bevelwheels d, c. The clutch disk f is automatically caused to engage with and disengage from the disk f by means of a lever operated by a grooved cam fast to the wheel v gearing with the pinion h. On the shaft k are cam-disks l, s for operating the rotary-table locking-bolt and the shaft u, to which are keyed levers for automatically operating in succession the hydraulic valves.
