Abstract
This paper explores the architecture of the complete biomass compression molding machine based on CAD technology. Here is one biomass fuel molding machine with low energy consumption, high yield, long service life, and high density of molded fuels, designed in the flat die roller forming mode as required by design tasks after transmission scheme and master parameters are defined, provided that the advantages and disadvantages of all types of molding machines are analyzed. This equipment will fill up the gaps of traditional models in terms of high development cost, unreasonable architecture design, and short service life of key components.
As a huge energy consumption super-country, China suffers from the pressure from both brisk energy demand and the environmental concerns due to more and more fossil energy consumption. The biomass fuel processed using compression molding technology can help alleviate the energy shortage, improve the ecological environment, and establish a sustainable energy system. On this basis, China has been driving into the fast lane of economic and social development. As a late starter, China never involved the investigation on such biomass compression molding technology until the 1980s. In recent years, the piston compression molding machine (CMM) based on hot press molding principle and the ring-mode compression granulator based on viscosity-shear principle, respectively developed by Henan Agriculture University and Shandong University as pioneers in the field, have been typical models in the study. Few ever involved the flat-mode granulator (FMG). Here we take it as a study case, analyzes the available flat-mode CMMs, and eventually works out a type of more practical flat-mode granulator by integrating relevant design theories and application technologies.
