Analysis on Capacity and Energy Consumption of Biomass Circular Mould Granulator

Abstract:

By analysis on influence of machine technical parameters and material parameters on equipment capacity and energy consumption, a theoretical basis for product seriation design can be provided. Capacity and the energy consumption modeling were done, and isolines of capacity and energy consumption at different equipment technical parameters and material properties were drawn, based on the analysis of forming process and mechanics. Isoline distribution show that the greater mould diameter and mould rotation speed are, the more obvious influences of them on capacity and energy consumption become. Compared with other parameters, the frictions coefficient between material and roller as well as between material and circular mould have greater influence on equipment capacity, it can enhance the equipment capacity to improve the surface structure or surface material of the roller and circular mould ; the influence of diameter ratio of roller to circular mould on the equipment capacity was larger than its influence on the energy consumption, the larger the parameter is, the lower the energy consumption for certain capacity becomes, so it is necessary to enlarge the parameter as much as possible.
