PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Mixing and Purifying Machine for the Manufacture of Hot
Neck Grease.
I, JOHN PETERS Grease Manufacturer 66 Western Buildings Station Road
Llanelly Carmarthenshire do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
A mixing and purifying machine for the manufacture of hot neck grease.
Square tank 8 feet by 8 feet man hole in the top bricked round with flews round
and underneath same.
Construction of interior ten pieces of 1 inch pipe connected with upright pipes
of tank 6 inches above one running to the bottom of the tank direct application
of steam generated from lime water, mode of applying steam to tank oval boiler
with dome to same made of wrought iron with pipes attached to dome for the
conveyance of steam, mode of manufacture with said machine melt pitches in
open boiler run into tank steam for not less than three hours after mixing
thourhly return to boilers advantage gained work cheaper grease purer more lasting
when using same.
The purifying agent is steam generated from lime water.
Mode of mixing lime with water place the water in the boiler the steam acts as
the mixer pipes being so placed as to spread over the tank I find from this mode of
manufacture that the results are exelent.

A Mixing and Purifying Machine for the Manufacture of Hot
Neck Grease.
JOHN PETERS Grease Manufacturer 66 Western Buildings Station Road,
Llanelly Carmarthenshire do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to the construction of a machine or apparatus for the
manufacture of hot neck grease from mineral and animal fats for use in the
journals or on the axles of machinery and for other purposes for which such
kind of grease is used, by my invention a grease of a superior quality can be
produced at a much cheaper rate.
I prefer to use the undermentioned ingredients in the following proportions
viz. one half of vacceline pitch which is a pure hydrocarbon distilled from Russian
petroleum, and one half of the best Yorkshire wool pitch which is the distillation
of pure oleine and recovered olive oil, but I don't confine myself to these exact
proportions as they may be varied according to requirements. I will now proceed
to explain my machine or apparatus and the method of using it by the following
description and by the aid of the accompanying drawings. The fats or pitch is

page_text: first placed in the boiling vat D which is shewn in section at H in Fig. 1. and in
plan at H' on Fig. 2. and is there melted by fire heat from the furnace F shewn
underneath the vat D shewn on Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the said furnace leading into the
flues F¹ and thence to the chimney H. For the purpose of mixing and purifying
the melted fats I provide a steam boiler of any suitable kind for raising steam
readily. I shew the outline of a vertical boiler in sectional elevation at A on
Fig. 1 and in plan at A' on Fig. 2. the steam being generated from a mixture of
lime and water which is fed into the boiler by means of a funnel shewn at B. the
steam is taken from the boiler by the pipes E. E. on Figs. 1 and 2 the pipe El
leading to and is connected to the outer ring D" as shewn, the pipe E being carried
down and connected to the inner ring DX at EW. 4. 5 shews stop valves for regulating
steam to coils both the said rings are perforated on their upper side with holes to
allow the steam to rise into the mixture, I prefer to make the holes in the rings of
one eigth of an inch dia. and steam of 20 lbs. pressure, but in some cases I increase
the pressure of steam and reduce the size of the holes proportionately to the
pressure of steam used. When using my apparatus or machine for the above purpose
and in the manner herein described I find the time required for melting and purifying
one charge will be about six hours after which time I turn off the steam from the
coils and raise the mixture to boiling point by the fire heat and continue it at that
heat for a further period of three hours after which it is allowed to stand without
heating for another period of six hours. M shews a shoot provided for the
of carrying off any overflow from boiling vat and conducting it into vat M¹ from
which it may be drawn through the faucet M".
purpose
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
A machine or apparatus for making and purifying hot neck grease from mineral
and animal fats by steam generated from lime water substantially as described in
and shewn upon the accompanying Specification and drawings.
