Semi-terstamatique motor operated press
Description
The SEMI-TERSTAMATIQUE machine is a completely revised version
of the "La Majo" press, formerly manufactured by "Atelier de Construction de
Villers-Perwin". The machine is a motorized press, supplied either with a 2 hp
electric motor or 5 hp diesel engine. An oversized Renault car clutch controls
and drives the press.
The machine is designed to withstand intensive and rough usage,
even under critical climatic conditions, and is easy to maintain with a few
tools. A powerful spring in thrust system protects the press against poor
quality soils or overfilling of moulds.
Various types of bricks and tiles (for air-drying or for firing)
can be produced, as well as salt bricks for livestock. The moulds can be changed
within 15 minutes. Special moulds can be made to order up to a maximum size of
40 x 20 x 10 cm. The SEMI-TERSTAMATIQUE is supplied with narrow tables on either
side of the mould to facilitate filling the mould and removing the finished
products.
Operating the SEMI-TERSTAMATIQUE
The mould is filled with a shovel and the lid closed manually
(pre-compaction). The automatic mechanical compression (by a vertical stroke
piston) and fuming out cycle is set in motion manually. Three workers are
normally required to fill the mould, operate the press and remove the blocks for
drying. Each production cycle requires 12 to 14 seconds.
Additional Equipment
EARTH PULVERIZER, powered by an electric motor (2.2 kW) or by a
5 hp Hatz diesel engine to produce a homogeneous soil, free from clay lumps and
large particles, for better quality bricks and tiles. The earth is pulverized by
means of two counterrotating cylinders (squirrel cage), achieving a maximum out
put of 9 m³/h.
PLANETARY MIXER, powered by a 5.5 kW electric motor or a 9 hp
Hatz diesel, required to obtain a thorough and uniform soil mixture (also
suitable for mixing concrete). The mixer is designed for low energy consumption;
the rotating paddles are easily removed for cleaning; and transportation is
facilitated by two pneumatic wheels. The practical capacity of the mixer is 200
litres.
