In the subjoined drawing, A is an open vessel supportedby pillars B above an upwardly acting hydraulic press C,the plate D, of which is exactly adapted to the flangedbottom edge E of the vessel A; when D is raised itcloses A tightly. F is a perforated shell in which the canesare placed vertically, it may have an inner perforated tubeG, thus making the space for the canes annular. The shellis run on to the plate D by a truck, or on wheels H andis thence raised by the hydraulic press C into the vessel piston J of the hydraulic press K is then forced downupon the canes, whereby they are crushed and a largeportion of the juice expressed. This juice is then drawn by £S3. means of pumps (not shown) connected with the pipe P,into a closed receptacle L, which communicates with thebottom of the vessel A by pipes JI and N—preferably byseveral connecting branches round the circumference of drawing off the expressed juice, the piston J is raised,and water or syrup of suitable strength (preferably hot) isforced through pipes Q and N into A to extract the remain-ing saccharine matter from the crushed canes. Thecrushing operation may be repeated if necessary. Thisimproved apparatus thus consists of an inverted vessel, ahydraulic press arranged for closing the bottom of the vesseland lifting up into it a shell or basket containing sugar canes,;; piston moved downwards by hydraulic pressure forcrushing the canes, a vessel to receive the juice, pipe con-nections with pumps for producing vacuum, and pipeconnections for injecting water or syrup, the parts beingcombined, and operating as described.—A.
