Patent number: 9168712Abstract: A pelletizing press for producing pellets from material to be pressed, preferably from biomass, for use as fuel in fire places, wherein the biomass consists of cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic fibers, chips or shreds. In the pelletizing press, a dispersion chamber is formed by at least one die having a plurality of bores for pressing the biomass and at least by a lateral wall, and at least one roller rolling on a rolling surface of the die is arranged in the dispersion chamber. A pelletizing press of this method for producing pellets enables the formation of a dispersion chamber that, by means of at least one lateral wall, is as compact and sealed as possible relative to the prior art. At least two lateral wall parts are arranged to form a lateral wall; at least the first lateral wall part is arranged to be movable in relation to the second lateral wall part for carrying out a relative movement.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2010Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: DIEFFENBACHER GMBH MASCHINEN- UND ANLAGENBAUInventors: Gernot von Haas, Frank Heymanns, Günter Natus, Lars Bauer

Patent number: 8944801Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2010Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Dieffenbacher GmbH Maschinen- und AnlagenbauInventors: Frank Heymanns, Gernot von Haas, Günter Natus, Detlef Kroll

Publication number: 20120272841Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2010Publication date: November 1, 2012Inventors: Frank Heymanns, Gernot von Haas, Günter Natus, Detlef Kroll

Patent number: 7278551Abstract: A dosing hopper for producing wood material panels has a feed device (2) that distributes the supplied material flow of glued wood particles continuously over the width of the hopper (1). The dosing hopper supplies elongated flat wood strands for producing oriented structural chip boards or panels (OSB, LSL). The feed device (2) includes a weighing device (23), with which the wood strands are distributable over the entire hopper width in a weight-dosed and oriented manner.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2001Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Dieffenbacher Schenck Panel GmbHInventors: Matthias Graf, Lutz Wolf, Guenter Natus, Karl-Heinz Koehler

Publication number: 20040043095Abstract: The invention relates to a dosing hopper for producing wood material panels with a feed device (2), which distributes the supplied material flow of glued wood particles continuously over the width of the hopper (1). The dosing hopper is characterized in that it is provided for elongated flat wood strands (strands) for producing oriented structural chip boards or panels (OSB, LSL). In this regard, the feed device (2) is embodied so that it includes a weighing device (23), with the aid of which the wood strands (strands) are distributable over the entire hopper width in a weight-dosed and oriented manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2003Publication date: March 4, 2004Inventors: Matthias Graf, Lutz Wolf, Guenter Natus, Karl-Heinz Koehler

Publication number: 20040013760Abstract: The invention relates to a vertical dosing hopper for producing wood material panels or board sheets, which is arranged above a spreading head for glued wood particles, and in which the particle supply reserve is provided essentially in a vertical direction. In this context, the wood particles are conveyed essentially from the top toward the bottom to a discharge device (18, 48). The invention is characterized in that the hopper is provided for elongated flat wood particles, wood strands (strands) for producing panels or board sheets with oriented wood strands (OSB, LSL). Thereby, the supply reserve space comprises at least one vertical conveying shaft (13), in which the elongated flat wood strands are continuously conveyed to a discharge device (18, 48). In this context, the conveying shaft consists essentially of at least two parallel and vertical oppositely-facing conveyor belts (14, 15, 46, 47), which extend over the entire hopper width.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2003Publication date: January 22, 2004Inventors: Matthias Graf, Lutz Wolf, Guenter Natus, Karl-Heinz Koehler
