Abstract:
Apparatus for the production of test specimens from green artificial carbon by shaking of a warm granular mass in a stationary mold, the bottom of which is formed by a closure plate vertically movable in the lower part of the mold, which rests on spring elements and can be set in vibration in the vertical direction by means of two oppositely rotating motors and is closable at the top by a counter-plate. The apparatus is distinguished in that said counter-plate is pressable by means of an upper cylinder by oil pressure against the carbon mass by virtue of the installation of a non-return valve and a fine needle valve connected parallel therewith in the oil conduit in such a way that it can follow the variation of height of the compacting mass.
