Machinery & Energetics

The development of industry and people's livelihoods directly depend on traditional fuels, the main ones being oil, gas and coal. The main alternative that can reduce the use of these energy sources is plant biomass. It is made from organic residues of agriculture, wood processing industry. In addition, the use of biomass is safe for the environment and human health. Note that biomass requires the development of new technologies for fuel processing. This article presents an analysis of the use of a two-matrix press granulator for production for the production of pellets from organic raw materials. The method of calculation of the main design parameters of the press granulator is offered, the design features of the design are substantiated and the modeling of the main power parameters of the device is carried out by means of the Solidworks simulations program. The main feature of the proposed two-matrix press granulator is to reduce the metal content of equipment and increase the productivity of the process of pelleting organic waste from agricultural products by placing two matrices on one base plate, so that the pellet working area is between them and pressing rollers evenly press organic raw materials. in the holes of the die of both matrices. As a result of research and development work, a new two-matrix press granulator has been designed, which can be used both in stationary installations and in mobile combines for pelleting straw in the field.
