KNEADING FACILITY HAVING KNEADING DEVICE AND DRIVE DEVICE CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER BY THE CONNECTION DEVICE

摘要

An input shaft of a sealed kneading apparatus and an output shaft of a drive apparatus can be coupled together in a mutually eccentric state of both shafts and the apparatus life is prolonged. A coupling apparatus 6 for coupling between an input shaft 16 of a batch type kneading apparatus 1 and an output shaft 19 of a drive apparatus 2 for driving the kneading apparatus 1, the coupling apparatus 6 comprising a gear coupling section 5, the gear coupling section 5 being capable of coupling the input shaft 16 of the batch type kneading apparatus 1 and the output shaft 19 of the drive apparatus 2 with each other in a mutually eccentric state of both shafts, gears 24 meshing with other so as to slide relatively in the face width direction with rotation of the gear coupling section 5, and an oil bath type lubricating section 46 for lubricating the gears 24.
