Abstract:
On today's markets there exist a good number of different briquetting press designs. The customer has the option of choosing different types of briquetting presses, for example, a screw press, a hydraulic press or even a mechanical press. At the Institute of Production Systems, Environmental Engineering and Quality Management of the Slovak University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, we have also developed a modular conception that allows the assembly of both single-chamber and multi-chamber briquetting presses. For example, when assembling a dual-chamber press, we achieve double the performance, higher energy efficiency, easier balancing of the crank mechanism, and higher usability of the built-in space. When assembling a dual-chamber press with more than 83 % of the parts identical to the single-chamber unit, the efficiency of production is greatly increased. The aim of this paper is to describe the modular conception of a multi-chamber briquetting press and to present research on new machine components that substantially expand the basic functions of the compaction machine.
