| 摘要 |
The apparatus (1) comprises a plurality of press units (2), each press unit (2) comprising a stationary matrix (19) with a press channel (6) and a linearly reciprocating piston (20) arranged coaxially with the press channel (6) for pushing biomass into the press channel (6) and for compression of the biomass in the press channel (6) during forward piston motion. The press units (2) are arranged in a horizontal plane (4) in a star configuration around a centre (5) with the piston motion being radial from the centre. For start-up conditions, the forward end point of the reciprocating motion of the pistons (20) is adjusted rearwards before running of the apparatus and gradually returned forward, only once the apparatus is running. |
