Both the die and the rolls are driven, but at a fixed velocity ratio.
- US-A 3 207 091 discloses a pelleting press, in which the die and rolls can be driven at an adjustable velocity ratio, but the gap height as defined above is fixed.
- these variables can be independently adjusted during the operation of the press, which allows to obtain an optimal adaptation to the material to be processed, and in particular to avoid or control slip between the moving parts and the material in the gap.
- the die as roll (and in the case of a rotatable yoke also the yoke) will be driven according to the invention, so that at the gap the velocity of at least the die or the or each roll is independently adjustable.
- the material compressed in the gap between the die and a roll will not be subjected at one side (i.e. at the side of the roll or the die), but at both sides (i.e. at the roll and the die) to shear stresses.
- this will mean that the shear stress will be substantially lower than in the case of driving only the roll or only the die, so that the slip boundary will be reached less early accordingly, and the operation can be controlled better.
- a known pelleting press has been diagrammatically shown.
- This press comprises a hollow cylindrical drum or die 1, provided with a large number of apertures 2 which are generally directed tranversely to the die surface.
- This die is rotatably supported on an axis 3, and can be rotated by means of driving means, diagrammatically indicated by an arrow 4, with a desired angular velocity, leading to a velocity v m .
- This velocity relates to the inner side of the die in the point of smallest gap height.
- a roll 6 rotatably supported on an axis 5 which is parallel to the axis 3 and laterally displaced in respect thereof, the generatrices of said roll being parallel to those of the die 1.
- Between the die and the roll a relatively narrow gap 7 is present.

- the gap height can be adjustable.
- the material 8 to be pressed is continuously supplied, and is, when rotating the die 1, entrained as a consequence of the friction between the die 1 and this material, the latter being compacted in the gap 7.
- the pressure then occuring will cause this material to be pressed outwards through the apertures 2 in the form of compressed pieces, generally called pellets.
- the non-driven roll will rotate with a velocity v r . This velocity relates to the circumference of the roll in the point of lowest gap height.
- various rolls can be arranged inside the die 1, and, instead of driving the die 1, also the roll 6 can be driven, and then the non-driven die will be entrained.
- the die does not move, and a yoke is rotatably driven. The rolls are then supported in said rotating yoke.
- the die 1 and/or the rolls 6 can have a conical shape. It is also possible to provide the apertures 2 in the rolls 6, but this is generally not practical.
- the invention is based on the insight that the difficulties mentioned above can be avoided by a better adjustability and control, or can be considerably reduced.
- the roll 6 will be driven, as shown in Fig. 1 by an arrow 4', so that also the roll will exert a driving friction force on the material 8 in the gap 7.
- the entraining force required for generating the required pressure in the gap 7 will then act at both sides on the material, so that the critical friction force at which slip is beginning to occur will occur less early, and virtually never at a suitable choice of the velocities and the gap height.
- Fig. 2 diagrammatically shows this transverse forces.
- the die 1 having a radius R m is driven at an angular velocity ⁇ m , leading to a velocity v m .
- the roll 6 having a radius R r is driven at an angular velocity ⁇ r , leading to a velocity v r .
- the shear stresses ⁇ m and ⁇ r exerted on the material by the die and roll are not only dependent on the rotation angle, but are also a function of the velocities which are mutually indepently adjustable.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a pelleting press as defined in claim 1.
- Such presses are generally used for producing pellets to be used as dry animal food, but it will be clear that such presses can be used for preparing pellets for other purposes.
- Such pelleting presses are known in general forms.
- GB-A 2 130 959 (≙ US-A 4 498 856) discloses a pelleting press, in which the gap height between adjacent generatrices of the die and a roll co-operating therewith is adjustable, but the adjusting means do not allow a continuous adjustment during the operation of the press. Both the die and the rolls are driven, but at a fixed velocity ratio.
- US-A 3 207 091 discloses a pelleting press, in which the die and rolls can be driven at an adjustable velocity ratio, but the gap height as defined above is fixed.
- A thorough theoretical analysis of the mechanism of pelleting and practical experiments based thereon have led to the conclusion that the quality of pellets produced by such presses is influenced by a number of factors (such as composition, internal friction, humidity content of the material to be pelleted), which may fluctuate during the actual production, and that for stabilising and optimising the production not only both the die and the rolls should be positively driven, but also their velocity and velocity ratio as well as the gap height should be substantially continuously variable during the operation.
- In the pelleting press as defined in claim 1 these variables can be independently adjusted during the operation of the press, which allows to obtain an optimal adaptation to the material to be processed, and in particular to avoid or control slip between the moving parts and the material in the gap.
- In contrast to the known presses, as well the die as roll (and in the case of a rotatable yoke also the yoke) will be driven according to the invention, so that at the gap the velocity of at least the die or the or each roll is independently adjustable. Thereby the material compressed in the gap between the die and a roll will not be subjected at one side (i.e. at the side of the roll or the die), but at both sides (i.e. at the roll and the die) to shear stresses. At a substantially constant pressure distribution this will mean that the shear stress will be substantially lower than in the case of driving only the roll or only the die, so that the slip boundary will be reached less early accordingly, and the operation can be controlled better. Thereby a larger adjustability of the gap height can be obtained, which will contribute to obtaining an optimal adaptation to fluctuations in the material to be processed, so that, on the one hand, smearing will occur less frequently, and, on the other hand, the choice of the composition will be subjected to less limitations. The lower slip sensibility also means that a shorter running-in period during adjustment of the press can be obtained. The better adjustability of the gap height also means that the production capacity, as far as not restricted by the required minimum hardness and wear resistance and/or other desired qualities of the pressed material, can be considerably increased, so that a possibly favourable result can be obtained.
- The invention will be elucidated below by reference to a drawing, showing in:
- Fig. 1 a diagrammatic representation of the general structure of a pelleting press of known design for elucidating the invention;
- Fig. 2 a diagrammatic representation of the gap between the die and roll in a press according to the invention, with the velocities and shear stresses occurring therein; and
- Figs. 3 and 4 diagrammatic representations of the drive of such a press.
- In Fig. 1 a known pelleting press has been diagrammatically shown. This press comprises a hollow cylindrical drum or die 1, provided with a large number of
apertures 2 which are generally directed tranversely to the die surface. This die is rotatably supported on anaxis 3, and can be rotated by means of driving means, diagrammatically indicated by an arrow 4, with a desired angular velocity, leading to a velocity vm. This velocity relates to the inner side of the die in the point of smallest gap height. Inside this die, aroll 6 rotatably supported on anaxis 5 which is parallel to theaxis 3 and laterally displaced in respect thereof, the generatrices of said roll being parallel to those of the die 1. Between the die and the roll a relativelynarrow gap 7 is present. The smallest distance between the die and the roll is the minimum gap height 9 (Fig. 2). The gap height can be adjustable. - Inside the die 1,.the material 8 to be pressed is continuously supplied, and is, when rotating the die 1, entrained as a consequence of the friction between the die 1 and this material, the latter being compacted in the
gap 7. The pressure then occuring will cause this material to be pressed outwards through theapertures 2 in the form of compressed pieces, generally called pellets. As a consequence of the movement of the material in the gap, the non-driven roll will rotate with a velocity vr. This velocity relates to the circumference of the roll in the point of lowest gap height. - It will be clear that also various rolls can be arranged inside the die 1, and, instead of driving the die 1, also the
roll 6 can be driven, and then the non-driven die will be entrained. In an other known construction, the die does not move, and a yoke is rotatably driven. The rolls are then supported in said rotating yoke. Also the die 1 and/or therolls 6 can have a conical shape. It is also possible to provide theapertures 2 in therolls 6, but this is generally not practical. - Therefore, a velocity gradient will occur transversely to the
roll axis 5. If, however, too much slip will occur between the material 8 and the surface of the die 1 and/or theroll 6, this will lead to a certain smearing of the material in the gap, and to a reduction of the pressure, the consequence thereof being a reduced extrusion of the material through theapertures 2. A small internal slip in the material can, indeed, influence the quality of the material in a favourable way since, thereby, a better coherence between the particles of the material and a greater hardness and wear resistance and/or other qualities of the pressed material pieces can be obtained, but the operation will become instable in an increasing degree and, therefore, less controllable, so that the risk that the press will jam will strongly increase. - In these known presses the adaptation to different factors is difficult, and often not optimally possible. If the quality of the material to be pressed will change or fluctuate during a current pressing operation, because of changes of the internal friction as a consequence of, for instance, variations in the humidity or fat content, it is generally not possible to perform a supplementary adjustment during the operation leading to an optimal pressing result. Also the character of the material to be pressed will not allow an optimal or economically feasible pressing operation within the adaptation and adjustment possibilities of the press.
- The invention is based on the insight that the difficulties mentioned above can be avoided by a better adjustability and control, or can be considerably reduced. To that end also the
roll 6 will be driven, as shown in Fig. 1 by an arrow 4', so that also the roll will exert a driving friction force on the material 8 in thegap 7. The entraining force required for generating the required pressure in thegap 7 will then act at both sides on the material, so that the critical friction force at which slip is beginning to occur will occur less early, and virtually never at a suitable choice of the velocities and the gap height. - Fig. 2 diagrammatically shows this transverse forces. The die 1 having a radius Rm is driven at an angular velocity ωm, leading to a velocity vm. The
roll 6 having a radius Rr is driven at an angular velocity ωr, leading to a velocity vr. The shear stresses τm and τr exerted on the material by the die and roll are not only dependent on the rotation angle, but are also a function of the velocities which are mutually indepently adjustable. - It has now appeared that the possibility of slip will be at a minimum if the shear stresses τm and τr at opposite sides of the gap are substantially equal. From mechanical considerations it will appear that, then, in the
curved plane 10 substantially in the centre of thegap 7 the shear stress will be zero. This plane is called a neutral plane. The pressure generated in the compressed material will then i.a. depend on the sum of these shear stresses and the gap height. This pressure will then be selected as high as possible, but is limited by the condition that uncontrollable slip should be avoided under all circumstances. - It will now be clear that by selecting suitable driving velocities for the die 1 and the
roll 6, and in particular of the ratio of these velocities, and furthermore of a suitable height of thegap 7, an optimal adjustment for a given material can be obtained which, in particular during the operation of the press, can be adapted. In particular the running-in period of the press can be considerably accelerated thereby, so that less time and material will be lost. By adjusting a small velocity difference between the die and the roll, a given controllable slip and internal shear in the material can be generated, so that the quality of the material in the gap can be favourably influenced while avoiding the risk of the press becoming jammed. - The last-mentioned equality of the shear stresses τm and τr can be obtained in the case of fixedly mounted
rolls 6 and die 1 as such by an adapted adjustment of the rotational velocities. In the general case of a yoke rotatable round anaxis 3 androlls 6 supported in this yoke on the other hand, the drive of therolls 6 in respect of the yoke, the drive of the yoke in respect of the stationary structure, and the drive of the die in respect of the stationary structure, should be selected so that the shear stresses τm and τr are substantially equal. This can be obtained by a correct adjustment of the velocity of the roll and the die at the gap in question. - A simple construction of a pelleting press according to the invention comprises a driven roll and a driven die, the yoke being fixedly mounted in respect of the casing (Fig. 3). An other possibility is a press having a stationary mounted die, a driven yoke, and a roll driven in respect of this yoke (Fig. 4).
- According to the invention the die 1 and the roll 6 (as the case may be also by means of a driven yoke) can each be driven in such a manner that the circumferential speed of the roll and the die in the narrowest part of the gap can be continuously variably adjustable independently from each other.
- Then these adjustable drives can be mutually coupled in such a manner that the ratio between both velocities when varying these velocities is constant but is variable in function of the cap heigth. When controlling these adjustments, use can be made of relationships which can be derived from mechanical equilibrium condition, and which can be of an approximating functional and whether or not simplified and possibly experimentally determined kind. Of course use can be made of an adapted microprocessor. The condition for control is that the drive of the press should be so that the shear stresses τm and τr are substantially equal.
- The integral of the shear stresses τm or τr over the circumference and width (in the gap in question) of the die or the roll is a measure for the respective circumferential force in respect of the die or roll. Since, in a gap, the shear stress at the roll and die should substantially be equal this means that the circumferential force of the roll should be substantially equal to the cirumferential force of the die at a gap. This means that the press according to the invention can be controlled on the basis of the circumferential force or the driving torque. For, by multiplying the radius Rr of the roll or Rm of the die by the respective circumferential force the driving torque for each cap of the roll and the die respectively is obtained. The press according to the invention can, therefore, be controlled in such a manner that the quotient of the driving torque of the roll and the roll radius Rr will be substantial equal to the driving torque of the die for each gap and the respective radius Rm of the die.
- Since the slip between the roll and the die is relatively small, the circumferential velocities of the roll and the die will be substantially equal. As the product of the circumferential speed and the circumferential force is equal to the power, this means that the power mechanically supplied to a roll should be substantially equal to the mechanical power which is supplied to the portion of the die co-operating with this roll. The press according to the invention can, therefore, be controlled also in such a manner that the mechanical power supplied to the roll is substantially equal to the power of the portion of the die co-operating with this roll.
- Therefore the press can be controlled i.a. on the basis of velocity, driving torque or power.
- Controlling the press on the basis of velocity, driving torque or power can be realized in many ways by means of known techniques. Some examples thereof shall be mentioned now.
- If the drive of the roll and the die takes place hydraulically by means of hydromotors, the velocity or number of revolutions of the roll and the die can be adjusted for instance by controlling the volume flow towards the hydromotors in question. If control takes place on the basis of driving torque or hydraulic power, information in respect of the hydraulic pressure or the hydraulic pressure and the rotational speed respectively will be sufficient.
- In the case of a mechanical drive the velocity of the roll and the die can be adjusted by controlling the rotational speed of the roll and the die, for instance by means of a continuously variable mechanical transmission.
- In the case of controlling on the basis of the drive torque or power, use can, for instance, be made of strain gauges on the drive shaft for determining the driving torque.
- In the case of an electrical drive of the roll and the die, the velocity can be adjusted by controlling the rotational speed of the roll and the die (e.g. by frequency control). If control takes place on the basis of driving torque or power, a measurement of electrical magnitudes such as voltage (V), current intensity (A) and electrical power (kW) provide sufficient information.
- It will be clear that various combinations are possible.
- These adjustable drives can be mutually coupled in such a manner that the ratio between both velocities when varying the latter will be constant but variable in function of the cap height. For controlling these adjustments, use can be made of relationships derived from mechanical equilibrium conditions, which are whether or not simplified proximative functional and possibly experimentally determined relationships. Of course use can be made of an adapted microprocessor. The condition for control is that the drive of the press should be so that the shear stresses τm and τr are substantially equal.
- It will be clear that the invention is not restricted to the embodiment shown, and that it can also be used in the case of substantially plane disc-shaped dies.
