Upgrade for low-volume briquetter
The B-220 Series pilot plant and small production volume briquetter from KR Komarek has been redesigned to simplify maintenance, facilitate roll changes and strengthen the drive train.
Lab-grade briquetter produces fast test data
A specially instrumented, bench-scale, roll-press briquetting machine from KR Komarek offers faster, easier generation of test data needed to improve established compacting/briquetting operations.
The unit can provide conclusive briquetting (compaction) tests on a variety of materials with samples as small as 200g.
The new design features complete separation of the process zone from the rest of the equipment.
Assemblies in contact with the materials being tested are all stainless steel, easily removable for quick setup changes, cleaning and sterilization.
An integrated mixing system accommodates preparation of small batches with binders or other additives, then deposits the mixed material directly into a screw feeder which delivers a precise flow to the compacting rolls.
This self-contained unit measures only 686 x 686 x 775mm, and weighs 280kg.
Vertically paired compacting rolls measure 100mm in diameter by 38mm wide and apply a maximum roll force of 50kN, with 750Nm roll torque.
Throughput rates up to 25kg/h are possible.
Front-panel controls offer independent dial-type speed selection for the screw feeder and compacting rolls, while rear-panel displays confirm actual speed values.
Integral sensing and instrumentation include four rear-panel lighted meters which display screw torque, roll gap, roll force and roll torque values.
The electrical panel also provides outputs to a data acquisition system.
The Model B-050 operates on 220V AC, 50/60Hz single-phase service and draws total power of 1500W.
