thats the only way you will manage this
if the client is not willing to consider compactors that extrude logs of material
www.penncrusher.com for hammer mills 1.
www.larox.com filter presses 2.
www.komarek.com briquetting machinery 3.
with your desired end product size it may not be economically feasable to even attempt @ 2/3 of a millimeter briquette. ■
Re: Lignite Squeezer Or Roller
thanks for this info. if i want to take it down to less than 1mm before drying, would this be a problem ■
Re: Lignite Squeezer Or Roller
we could accept it as rolled logs, then break it down to less than 1mm any comments gratefully received, ■

About your lignite,
I see no issues with the hammermill, vacuum filter bed or compactor. The hammer mill will work and work and work and the materila will be broken down but you would need some type of fire suppression in case of a dust fire if it gets that dry.
The longer the filter bed the more moisture is pulled through the filter bed and then the molasses will have no issue with acting as a binder and as it is sucrose it will burn being carbon based material.
And the molasses would provide just enough moisture and heat from compression of a wood pellet size cylinder of lignite would work
The problem is binding the lignite and beet molasses would allow you to make small diameter compacted cylinders just as wood pellets are made but it would
require a sample of lignite to be processed by hammer mill, a long vacuum bed filter to suck all the water out and then adding molasses prior to using the ring pelletizer.
The issue is simply one of fornulation of molasses with regard to its volume of heated sprayed molasses mixing with the lignite prior to compacting it withh aring granualtor as wood pellets are manufactured.
The molasses would be easier to deal with than heated parafin as a binder and much less prone to being combustable while compacting as the heat of compression will crystallise it somewhat making the lignite pellet that much harder.
The ring pelletiser will require less work and energy to operate and the dies life dealing with a softer product may be worth the sampling and processing as the wheel will require less effort to rotate over the die and the ring pelletizer is used for sugar beet pulp in practice to make feed pellets so its not much of an issue.

Compacter And A Pelletiser Or Extruded Logs
The client has accepted a compacter, with a pelletiser or extruded log equipment.
Any ideas of a high quality compacter, and what is the maximum tonnage you could put through? any manufactuers name pls
Agian same with the pelletiser and extruded log equipment. ■

Hope these 9 help you
I am familiai with Bepex and thier high quality machinery, but not the others.
As far as tonage is concerned its amttery of how big a battery of machines you wish to have or
it will be more cost effective to increase the operating hours of "X" numbers of machines.
The wood pellet extruders are a very efficient option as they have a rotary wheel
weight rotating over the dies which are compressed and pushed through as they are solidified
The Bepex folks are world wide and the 5 lines they have under their flag are Komarek, Reitz, Strong Scott, Schugi
and are accessable from the bepex home page.

The Robbins foks offer the Prater line of compactors

Roll Compaction And Milling/Shredding

The produced flake could then be shredded or hammer milled. Contact me at gloverd@btconnect.com.

Lignite Squeezer or Roller
I have an enquiry for a piece of equipment which will take 65% moisture content lignite, and roll or squeeze the lignite then grind it or chop it up into 2/3mm particle sizes. Tonnage per hour 600. i am looking for the market leaders in both grinding, chopping ot milling & squeezing or rolling. even if i need say 6 machines to handle such a tonnage. ■
