The press having within a cylindrical press housing a central power-driven barrel matrix and a plurality of mutually spaced press rollers engaging the outer periphery of the barrel matrix whereby the pivot axes of the barrel matrix and of the rollers are parallel to each other. Press feed may be introduced into the press through a feed hopper mounted on top of the press housing and having a central inlet connection. The press feed is guided towards the several squeezing zones defined between barrel matrix and each of the press rollers by means of arcuately shaped bars and arcuate pickup devices extending from the press housing wall towards the barrel matrix. The press feed, after passing through perforations in the periphery of the barrel matrix, will be discharged centrally of the barrel matrix. |
