Torque Modelling and Experiment in Pelleting Process of Rotated Roll Forming

Abstract:

First the extruding force model of isotropic powder material passing through the die hole in pelleting process was founded, then the pressure distribution model in the extruding areas was built. Based on the two models, the torque model in pelleting process of rotated roll forming was developed. The experiments were carried out on the special designed pellet mill and the wireless torque testing system was used to analysis the torque datum. It is shown the computing datum is very close to the experimental results. The researches are helpful to the optimal structural design, energy consume reduction and proper use of the pellet mill in practice.
