Selected problems in construction of granulators for plant materials. Part 2. – Granulating and briquetting matrix
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2019, Vol 64, Issue 1
Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the issues occurring in working systems “stationary flat matrix–compacting rolls”, in particular design parameters of matrices, in universal granulators for plant materials intended for small and medium production plants. Construction parameters of the matrix – diameter and length of holes, the coefficient of clearance (the ratio of the area of holes to the matrix working surface), the geometry of the hole – significantly affect the energy con-sumption of the granulation process. In this work the original structure of the granulating-briquetting matrix is presented. This solution allows to increase the matrix clearance factor, and thus reduce the unit energy consumption of the pressure process of agglomeration of plant materials.
