Abstract: A pellet press for producing pellets from material which is to be compressed. In the pellet press, the biomass is compressed through the holes of the die by at least one press device comprising a roller which rolls on the die, to form pellets. The die and/or the roller move in relation to each other during the production thereof. Provides essential machine elements or modules which are simple to access and also quick to exchange. The construction and operation of the pellet press should be modular so that the production power can be variably adjusted and/or the production is independent of the repairs of individual modules. At least one press device comprising at least one roller and/or the die is arranged inside a press frame in the pellet press, the press frame being embodied in the form of at least one C-frame and/or at least one window frame.

Abstract: A method, a plant and a device for producing material boards in a press from spreading material, wherein a pressed-material mat made of the spreading material is spread by means of a spreading device onto an endlessly circulating forming belt and the pressed-material mat, during transport through the press, is compressed at its narrow sides transversely to the production direction by means of a compression device. The invention for the plant consists in that at least one compression device for compressing the pressed-material mat by displacing the narrow sides in the direction of the longitudinal central axis of the pressed-material mat and/or by compressing a region, adjoining the narrow sides, of the surface side of the pressed-material mat is arranged between the press and the spreading device.

Abstract: Pellet press producing pellets from material which is to be compressed. At least one rolling roller compresses the biomass in the press direction through holes of a die, which can be displaced by means of at least one drive, and/or rollers to form pellets. Sufficiently support a flat, annular and optionally segmented die, to prevent deformation and provide a pellet press in which a die that is moved and that comprises a support device has a minimum number of parts and/or mass passing through at least two press devices comprising a press frame with at least one roller. Pellet press in which at least one roller which is moved passes through at least two press frames. Die and/or rollers are displaceably mounted in at least two press frames and die is operatively connected to two coaxial support rings for forming an annular chamber and/or a support plate with perforations guiding the pellets in the press direction.

Abstract: A method for the manufacture of compacts from comminuted material (12) such as lignocellulose material and/or other combustible material for burning in hearths, wherein the material (12) is placed into openings (11) of a mold (4) and then compressed to form compacts. The filling of a mold (4) with the material (12) and the compaction of the material (10) to form compacts (10) is performed in the pressing chamber (18) of a multi-platen press (1) with plungers (7) plunging into many openings (11) of a mold (4), and after compaction the mold (4) with the ram (3) is raised and additionally urged against the ram, while the finished compacts are driven out of the mold and then are pushed out of the press chamber (18) into a container (16) by an ejecting device. Moreover, an installation for the practice of the method includes a hopper (9) and a multi-platen press (1) with a mold raising-and-lowering device (14).

Abstract: A continuously operating press produces particle, fiber, plastic and wood boards continuously from pressing stock. The press includes a heating platen provided on one side of the press and a plurality of press platen segments arranged on a side opposite to the heating platen. The press platen segments are resiliently coupled to one another by snap-action hinges and the separation space between the press platen segments and the heating platen is independently adjusted. The pressing stock is pulled through the separation space which has been optimally controlled to produce boards with desired density profiles at a maximum production speed.

Abstract: A continuously operating press for production of particle boards, fiber boards or similar wood boards and plastic boards includes flexible endless steel belts which transmit pressing pressure and pull materials to be pressed through the press. The steel belts are guided via driving drums and reversing drums around an upper and a lower press beam and are supported with an adjustable press nip against upper and lower press/heating platens on the press beams via rolling supporting elements which accompany their revolution and are guided with their axes transverse to the running direction of the belt.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for guiding steel bands of a continuously operating press about a longitudinal axis during operation of the press without overstretching one side of the steel bands. First and second bands are guided, via driving drums and return drums, around a pressing ram and a pressing table, respectively. The steel bands are supported, with an adjustable pressing gap, on a plurality of co-rotating steel rods which are guided, with their axes of rotation extending transversely to the direction of travel of the bands, against abutment lugs of the table and the pressing ram. The axis of at least one of the drums is altered in a first direction through an angle .alpha..

Abstract: A continuously working press is provided with a device which adjusts an entry gap in an entry region of a press ram to give the rolling rods of a press a sufficient degree of freedom for self-stabilization. The adjusting device includes an articulated crosshead anchored in said press frame and pivotable about an axis of rotation, a pressure holding plate located within said entry region and adjustable about an axis of rotation and which acts non-positively but resiliently on said rolling rods as they travel through the entry region, and a plurality of hydraulic supporting members located between the articulated crosshead and the pressure holding plate and which are adapted to act on said support device with a pressure profile that increases continuously towards said pressing region.
