  • Publication number: 20170157616
    Abstract: The transmission holder according to the invention for a roller press has a two-part structure with a transmission part which is connected to the transmission and a separate torque supporting part which is to be connected to the machine base frame or foundation. Transmission and torque supporting part of the transmission holder can be detachably connected to one another, preferably by means of a screw or bolt connection. In one embodiment this connection has two screws or bolts. Advantageously the dismantling or assembly of the rollers can thus be accomplished significantly more simply than according to the prior art since merely the screw or bolt connection between transmission and transmission holder of the transmission holder must be released. Advantageously significantly fewer screws/bolts need to be released for dismantling the transmission which in addition are more readily accessible and have a significantly greater distance from one another than according to the prior art.

  • Patent number: 9649678
    Abstract: A closing element for a machine frame of a rolling press, that sits on the end of a frame element as a hasp. The closing element includes an element enabling a pendular motion on the frame element. In this way, floating mounting of the closing element is achieved. This enables a very fast dismounting that facilitates the replacement of the rolls, and leads to an optimum arrangement of the closing elements on corresponding end pieces of the machine frame.

  • Patent number: 9498779
    Abstract: A method for regulating the roll gap pressure of a roller press and a corresponding roller press. The roll gap pressure is regulated dependent on at least one oscillating movement that is measured on the roller press. This has the advantage that the roller press can always be operated at the maximum roller press efficiency without the roller press reaching the overload range.

  • Publication number: 20160318024
    Abstract: The wear-resistant hard body according to the invention consists, at least partially, of a high-strength, iron-based alloy (IFW), and preferably comprises an external shell or sleeve made of another material. Roller press rollers usually have a bandage, often referred to as a roller body, in which the hard bodies are inserted as grid armoring. Particularly preferably, the hard body has a trilaterally closed, external shell. Advantageously, the hard body thus hardly needs any processing to ensure that it fits into the hole in the bandage, as the shell already does. Thus, a defined fit between the bandage and the shelled hard body is made possible. The hard bodies according to the invention with a shell or a sleeve are also referred to as bimetallic studs. Particularly preferably, the wear-resistant hard bodies furthermore have a circular cylindrical shape. Here, the closed front end of the shell, which in the installed state faces the center of the roller, is preferably shaped in a rounded fashion.

  • Patent number: 9108377
    Abstract: A roller press for the pressure treatment or compaction of granular material, having at least two rolls formed as freely rotating rolls, in each case rotatably mounted in a machine frame by a shaft, driven in opposite directions and separated from one another by a roll gap. The shafts of the rolls are accommodated in bearing housings movably mounted in the machine frame and in each case two bearing housings arranged on one side of the rolls and belonging to different rolls are connected to each other via at least one pressure cylinder. The connection between the bearing housings in each case has at least one torque balance. In this way, the structure of a roller press having roller centering is simplified and can be produced more cost-effectively.
