Briquetting machine control device

摘要

The quality of the briquettes granulated by a briquetting machine is improved. A briquetting machine control device samples the briquette that have been produced to measure an apparent density and a crush strength of the sampled briquette (step S10), and controls each operation set value adjusting unit (4, 6, 7) of the briquetting machine so that the actual measurement values come closer to predefined briquette quality target values (step S20 to step S60).

主权项

1. A briquetting machine control device for use in a briquetting machine having an operation set value adjusting unit and producing a briquette by successively supplying a material between a pair of rotating rolls and applying a high-compressive force onto the supplied material, the briquetting machine control device comprising:
a briquette inspection device configured to sample the briquette produced by the briquetting machine to measure a quality of the sampled briquette; and a controller configured to receive an input of an actual measurement value about the quality of the sampled briquette measured by the briquette inspection device, determine whether or not the actual measurement value about the quality of the sampled briquette that has been received falls within a threshold range between an upper limit and a lower limit with respect to a predefined briquette quality target value, and control the operation set value adjusting unit of the briquetting machine so that the actual measurement value about the quality of the briquette measured by the briquette inspection device comes closer to the predefined briquette quality target value, when the actual measurement value about the quality of the sampled briquette that has been received does not fall within the threshold range, wherein a feeder adjusting unit for receiving an input of a adjusting a rotation speed of a screw feeder, a pressing force adjusting unit for adjusting a pressing force of the pair of rotating rolls, and a roll adjusting unit for adjusting rotation speeds of the pair of rotating rolls each operate as the operation set value adjusting unit.
