The Main Press Cage

Back to Press Parts Menu

The Cage forms the drained Barrel of the Press. For rigidity the high pressure section should be a one piece casting. When closed the Cage should lock firmly to the Frame, to prevent it from moving relative to the Frame.

To form the Drained Barrel the Casting is lined with Lining Bars separated by Spacers. The size of the Spacers can be altered to increase or decrease the Drainage Gaps.

The Lining Bars are a wearing Part so a simple but effective clamping system is need to hold them in place. Preferably each field of bars should be separately clamped so that it can be changed without disturbing neighboring fields.

The Design of the Lining Bar is Important, a well defined 'saw tooth' on the top face can reduce footing and a Bar that is inherently stable with a wide bottom and machined drainage is much easier to use when lining the Cage than a simpler geometry Bar 

Check Points:

How easily can the Main Cage be opened?

How easily can the Cage Linings be changed?

How is the Cage fastened to the Frame?
