ABSTRACT A
MACHINE WITH REPLACEABLE PARTS FOR
PROCESSING OIL PALM PRODUCTS The present invention relates to a
machine with replaceable parts for
processing oil palm products. More specifically, it relates to a
machine with replaceable parts for
cutting, crushing,
grinding, pulverizing, or shredding
oil palm products such as palm fruits in the form of fresh fruit
bunches. The
machine comprises a motor (100); a gearbox (200) connected to the motor (100); a
coupling means (300) connected to the gearbox (200); a bearing
system (400) connected to the
coupling means (300); and a
processing means (500) connected to the bearing
system (400), wherein the
processing means (500) further comprises an inlet (501) for receiving the
oil palm products; at least one outlet (502) for dispensing processed
palm oil products;a housing (503) further comprising a cylindrical horizontal bore (504); at least one
hollow cylinder (506) further comprising an inner wall and an outer wall, which is positioned horizontally within the housing (503) and in contact with a surface of the horizontal bore (504) of the housing (503); and a worm gear connected to the bearing
system (400), positioned horizontally along the center of the processing means (500) and extending along the entire length of the processing means (500). Additionally, the surface of the horizontal bore (504) of the housing (503) comprises at least one tongue element (505); and the outer wall of the
hollow cylinder (506) comprises at least one groove element (507) that complements the tongue element (505) of the surface of the horizontal bore (504) of the housing (503). Accompanying drawing: Figure 1.
