PELLETIZING PRESS AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A PELLETIZING PRESS

摘要

The invention relates to a pelletizing press for producing pellets (10), preferably from biomass (1), for use as fuel in fireplaces. At least one one-piece or multi-piece die (4) comprising a plurality of bores (3) for pressing the biomass (1), at least one roll (5) rolling on a rolling surface (19) of the die (4), and at least one drive device for the die (4) and/or the roll (5) are arranged in the pelletizing press (3). The aim of the invention is to create a pelletizing press that makes it possible to use a die that forms a rolling surface for the roll from a plurality of die segments, wherein the die segments can have different heights in the passage direction. The invention is characterized in that, in order to form an even rolling surface (19) of a die (4) from die segments (7, 7',...) of different heights, at least one intermediate layer (17) is arranged between the die segments (7, 7',...) and the support means and/or at least one actuating device (18) for at least one die segment (7, 7',...) is arranged. The invention further relates to a method for operating a pelletizing press.
