Efficient compactor for charcoal briquetting

Kompaktor HK from Hosokawa alpine was made to compress charcoal powder into briquettes.

Mechanical spring assemblies provide for the elasticity of the swing arm which protrudes due to its light construction. This leads to a very good price-performance ratio for this application.

Hosokawa manufacturers the roller mill for charcoal in two different executions: HK 150 and HK 200, with a roller diameter of 400 and a throughput in of 1 and 2.5 t/h respectively.

Compact mills for sharp-edged granules

The high-pressure roller mill from Hosokawa Alpine is also called roller crusher or roller press. In comparison to compaction processes, it uses lower press forces between the rollers because no new adhesive forces need to be created.

With high-pressure roller mills products are produced with a precipitous granule distribution.

Because only the outer particles of the material bed have contact with the surface of the rollers, milling that is almost contamination-free is possible.

Often used in the cases of medium-fine crushing of hard materials such as ceramics, minerals from 5 up to 9 on the MOHS hardness scale metals and metal alloys.

Small scale granulation with effortless product changes

The Kompaktor® CS 25 from Hosokawa Alpine is particularly suited for the laboratory and for small product amounts. Where you will be able of processing powder to get granulate or briquettes. This process is described as compaction or briquetting.

This Laboratory roller compactor is made for frequent product changes and abrasive products because the rollers can be easily replaced. Due to the cantilever bearing the Kompaktor CS 25 is particularly easy to maintain and this with 25 tons of press force.

Robust briquetting of chemicals, minerals, and metals

Kompaktor MS from Hosokawa Alpine is a robust device used to compress powder to granulate or briquettes. Due to high press forces, the machine base unit is made from carbon steel. Briquetting of chemicals and minerals/metals are the strong points of the Kompaktor MS: production of briquettes out of sponge iron, magnesium oxide, burnt lime, and many other products; dry granulation of salts, NPK fertilizers, torrefied biomasses, charcoal, and many more.

Roll diameters ranging from 300 mm up to 1110 mm cover a broad range of different throughput capacities (0.5– 120 t/h). Several vertical feed screws provide for an ideal product distribution over the roll width at high throughputs. This guarantees a homogenous compression density. Dual gear reducer providing for exactly matching circumferential speed of the rolls.

Robust feed pelletizers with a proven design from an industry leader

Amandus Kahl produces pelletizing presses with proven success for many types of animal feed including compound feeds for all species, raw components, mineral mixtures, dried forage and straw mixtures. The presses use pan grinder rollers to compact the input material and force it through a flat pelletizing die forming continuous strands of compacted product. The strands are then cut to the desired length using rotating knives.

The pan grinder rollers and knives rotate slowly ensuring optimum pellet quality and minimized generation of noise and heat. The grinder roller gap and strand cutter are adjustable for optimized pellet quality for the customer’s particular needs. The presses are designed for maximized plant up-time and include reinforced press chamber, die supports and cutting knives, oversized and permanently lubricated roller bearings, and active gearbox lubrication. The flat die design ensures even distribution of feed material and optimized pressure in a more compact package than traditional ring die type presses.

Amandus Kahl works with customers to combine pelletizing machines and other supporting equipment including conditioners, coolers, dryers, and a coating system to provide an optimized plant solution for producing the customer’s product.

Robust food pelletizers with a proven design from an industry leader

Amandus Kahl produces pelletizing presses with proven success for many types of food products including those with powdery or lumpy input products.  The presses use pan grinder rollers to compact the input material and force it through a flat pelletizing die forming continuous strands of compacted product. The strands are then cut to the desired length using rotating knives.

The pan grinder rollers and knives rotate slowly ensuring optimum pellet quality and minimized generation of noise and heat. Temperature is monitored and the grinder roller speed is infinitely adjustable. The grinder roller gap and strand cutter are also adjustable for optimized pellet quality for the customer’s particular needs. The flat die design ensures even distribution of feed material and optimized pressure in a more compact package than traditional ring die type presses.

The hygienic presses are also designed for easy cleaning and meet GMP guidelines for food processing equipment. Pellet dies are readily changeable without specialized tools for easy experimentation and process development aiding the customers in developing a process that is optimized for their product.

Robust smaller scale pelletizers with a proven design from an industry leader

Amandus Kahl produces smaller scale pelletizing presses with proven success for many types of products that often do not require the high volume production of larger presses. This line of presses uses the proven technology of Amandus Kahl’s larger sized presses in a scale more appropriate to the smaller production volumes. The presses use pan grinder rollers to compact the input material and force it through a flat pelletizing die forming continuous strands of compacted product. The strands are then cut to the desired length using rotating knives.
