Apparatus for steaming articles consisting of a steaming chamber and at least a conveyor therefor

摘要

The steamer, which is otherwise closed on all sides, is open on its underside, and the article is lifted into it from below by the conveyor. This lifting of the article can take place in that the article lies directly on one or more lifting stages, or in that the article is introduced into transport devices, such as, for example, containers or carriages, which are air-permeable and therefore also steam-permeable, and in that the containers can be lifted from below into the steamer by lifting stages or the like or another lifting device. There is the possibility of providing a number of lifting devices. However, it is also possible to lift the article into the steamer at one end, transport the carriages or the article through the steamer, if appropriate on rails, by means of a horizontal-transport device and arrange a lowering device on the end side. The steamer stands on a substructure and is open only on the underside. IMAGE
