Abstract

For the structural design and dimensioning of all parts of the pellet machine, including the pressing tools, it is necessary to know in detail their force or pressure load, stress course, working conditions and exact function. A detailed knowledge of the load is crucial for the correct structural design and functionality of the tools and the entire machine. The contribution is devoted to the structural design of an experimental pellet press with a flat die and the design and implementation of a system for measuring and regulating selected parameters of the pressing process. Such experimental research finds application in the structural design, dimensioning and optimization of individual structural nodes of the pellet machine based on different principles.
