Features of bio-briquettes pressing with the piston briquetting press

Abstract

The paper considers the problem of efficient use of presses with a piston working body for the biobriquettes production. Structural analysis of the piston briquetting press “BrikStar” model is done and pressing areas are described in detail. The patterns of a material pressing process are analyzed in the working chamber of the matrix with a cut. Interpretation of a character and a behavior of taut portion of the material in the working process allowed proposing a scheme of forces and diagrams of pressures in the pressing chamber pressing matrix with a cut. The expression describing the regularity of axial pressure change along the pressing chamber is presented down as well.
