A pelleting device, designed as a field-guided stalk-crop harvesting machine for connection to a tractor and a chopper, wherein a diesel engine drives a current generator and an annular die press, configured such that chopped stalk material passes into a drying chamber and is propelled via a screw conveyor into the die press, wherein the annular die of the die press is mounted in ring bearings on a base, on which a pair of pivot levers for a pan grinder roller is also hinged.

A green compact conveying mechanism includes: a conveyance path for a green compact obtained by compressively forming powder in a sheet shape; an extrusion part that sends the green compact to the downstream side of the conveyance path by extruding the green compact; and a buckling inducing part that is arranged in the conveyance path, causes the green compact to be easily bent locally, and induces buckling at that site.

A system for continuously processing pulverulent products includes at least two system inlets for pulverulent products. A mixer is provided that continuously mixes the pulverulent products received at a mixer inlet into a product mixture that is dispensed at a mixer outlet. A production machine having a filling apparatus continuously processes the product mixture from the mixer outlet into end products dispensed at the machine outlet. A conveyor apparatus conveys the product mixture from the mixer outlet to the machine inlet. The conveyor apparatus includes a first fill level sensor that measures a product mixture fill level in the filling apparatus of the production machine and a second fill level measures a product mixture fill level in a conveyor reservoir. A control apparatus receives measurement data from the first fill level sensor and the second fill level sensor and controls at least one production parameter based on the measurement data.

A controller of a rotary compression-molding machine is configured to rotate a turret including a table including a die bore, and punch retaining portions vertically slidably retaining punches disposed above and below the die bore along with the punches, and to fill the die bore with a powdery material from a filling device disposed just above the table, to compress the powdery material filled in the die bore with the punches and to obtain a molded product. The controller is configured to adjust rotational speed of the turret and the punches to allow the powdery material in a feed pipe, directly connected with the filling device and configured to feed the filling device with the powdery material, to have a level of an upper surface kept within a constant target range.

Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing an electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery that makes it possible to form a more uniform active material layer by using granulated particles. The manufacturing apparatus includes: a conveying mechanism, a supply unit, a squeegee, an adjustment unit, and rolling rolls. The conveying mechanism conveys a collector. The supply unit supplies granulated particles, including active material particles and a binder, onto the surface of the conveyed collector. The squeegee levels the supplied granulated particles. The adjustment unit is disposed upstream of the squeegee. The adjustment unit controls the accumulation height of the granulated particles accumulated upstream of the squeegee. The rolling rolls roll the leveled granulated particles and form the active material layer.

Using advanced control theories, the pellet mill controller of the present invention implements an estimator to monitor the conditioner input variables of steam, material density, feed rates, and estimates the material departure temperature and moisture content while accounting for transit time.

An evaluation device (20) evaluates the operating conditions of a briquetting machine (10). The evaluation device (20) includes an evaluation information acquisition unit (220) and an evaluation data generation unit (230). The evaluation information acquisition unit (220) acquires a plurality of pieces of evaluation information indicating the evaluation results of a plurality of briquettes manufactured under the same manufacturing conditions by the briquetting machine (10). The evaluation data generation unit (230) generates evaluation data that is data obtained by comparing a plurality of pieces of evaluation information with each other.

Disclosed is a pelleting device which is designed as a field-guided stalk-crop harvesting machine and, when connected to a tractor with a chopper, includes a diesel engine that drives a current generator and also an annular die press. The chopped stalk material passes into a dry chamber and via a screw conveyor into the annular die press. The annular die of the annular die press is mounted in ring bearings on a base, on which a pair of pivot levers for a pan grinder roller is also hinged. An electric drive motor fed by the current generator drives the screw conveyor by a controller, and servomotors, which engage on the pivot levers, regulate the roller gap. The controller is governed as a function of the injection requirement of the diesel engine and/or the pressure applied by the press.

A pelletizing device comprising a rotary drivable at least partly cylindrical die, wherein the cylindrical part comprises a multitude of radial openings for forming of pellets and at least one roller rotatable around a stationary shaft, for pressing of material to be pelletized through the radial openings in the die, wherein the roller is mounted to the corresponding stationary shaft by means of at least one roller bearing and wherein the pelletizing device comprises an oil circulation system for lubricating each of the roller bearings of each of the rollers with oil.
