Heuser vertical extrusion presses TS-1, LPG and TS-400[edit | edit source]

Description

The vertical extrusion presses of this series have been used since more than 100 years in the ceramic industry for mixing and compressing clay. Based on this experience, the Heuser LPG was specially developed to process clay for building purposes.

The machines principally consist of a vertical cylinder, which houses a vertical shaft with a spiral arrangement of blades, fixed at different angles to ensure an optimum mixture of the clay and additives. The blades force the clay down wards, exerting high compressive forces, on account of which the clay is pressed through a mouth piece on one side of the cylinder.

Power is supplied by a back-geared electric motor at the base of the machine. Diesel or petrol engine driven machines can be supplied on request.

Optional extras are castors, if the machine needs to be moved around frequently, cloth covered roller conveyor table to receive the extruded clay, and wire cutter for easier and more accurate cutting of components.

On account of their simple design and robust construction, the machines are well suited for use in particularly demanding conditions, even if maintenance is poor or irregular.

Operating the Heuser TS-1, LPG, TS-400

The raw material, ideally well-tempered clay, but also clay and some additives, is shovelled continuously into the opening at the top of the cylinder, in which it is mixed and compressed before it is extruded through the mouth piece. If the clay has not been sufficiently mixed, the operation should be repeated.

The clay can be received and cut to suitable sizes on a roller conveyor table with a wire cutter, or extruded onto a board or metal sheet, on which it is cut and carried away for drying.
