VINCENT MODEL CP-4-K76 CONTIOUS SCREW PRESS 316 S/S 0.5 - 1 TPD UNUSED

109246 One (1) unused Vincent continuous dewatering screw press, serial # 95061-D. Model CP-4-K76. 316 S/S This screw press utilizes a screw with a graduated pitch and uninterrupted flighting to maximize dewatering. The screw rotates inside a profile bar screen, forcing liquid through the screen. The unit is rated for 0.5-1 tons/day, 150-500 lbs./Hr. The press operates at 30 rpm. The screw is direct driven by a 2 hp Leeson AC motor through a gearbox. Gear box Manufactured by Alling Lander ratio 60:1 30rpm. The Vincent CP-4 Press consists of a screw rotating within a screen housing, a flanged inlet hopper, and a discharge opening. At the discharge end, the mouth of the screen housing is closed by a pneumatically actuated cone which moves back and forth on the screw shaft in proportion to the internal pressure in the screen frame. This motion is opposed by the cone cylinder thrust, thereby regulating the discharge of solids. An air regulator is provided to adjust the pressure on the cone. The liquids, which are squeezed from the wet product, escape through the screen housing and are caught in a built-in pan under the screen. The screw is driven by a fixed speed electric motor that is C-face mounted to a gearbox. The gearbox reduces the RPM from the typical 1750 RPM output of the motor to an appropriate speed for the application, 5 – 50 RPM. The hollow bore gearbox mounts directly on the screw shaft and is flange mounted to the machine. The numbers in the model designation stand for the nominal diameter of the screw in inches. A CP-4 has a 4” diameter screw. As the press has been adapted to many different applications, options have been added to the press. These include interrupted or continuous flighted screws, conical screws where the shaft increases in diameter, different shape inlet hoppers, different style cones, etc. As a result, not all the information contained in this manual will apply to your press. It’s rare that the CP-4 is modified.
