Abstract

A machine for making fodder into pellets and similar materials, characterized by comprising the combination of support means; matrix means in the form of an annular duct carried by the support means on a generally horizontal axis and including a plurality of circumferentially spaced dies and an internal peripheral track from which said cells split; means including a press wheel disposed eccentrically within the track for orbital movement about the axis of the annular duct with the outer periphery of said wheel substantially in rolling contact with said track for forcing the forages into the matrix cells; a feed box aligned with the annular conduit on its axis and with a first end substantially in axial agreement with said runway and a second axially spaced end of said runway, said box having an axially displaced feeding inlet opening of the annular conduit; means carrying said box in the support means; means for feeding forages axially with respect to the box and the track, including inclusion of a rotary feeder element disposed coaxially inside said box and having first and second ends close to said first and second ends of the box respectively, said element having a hollow core opening axially at its second end; a transmitter structure coaxially fixed to the first end of the feeder element and straddling the press wheel and coaxially supported on the support means on the side of the annular duct opposite said element, said structure having eccentric means supporting the press wheel; speed reducing actuator means coaxially contained in at least a portion of said hollow core and including a rotatable driven member operatively linked to said core, a support member coaxial with the core and rotatably carrying the driven member and axially exposed to the core; said open end of the core, and an actuating member that engages the driven member and projects axially at the second end of said core and feed box; means mounting the support member on the support means; and means for actuating the actuator member.
