Finite Element Analysis of Press Casing of Screw Press

Abstract:

The pressing chamber is the heart of the screw press, it forms the drainage barrel and has to contain the operating forces of the press. As press casing is an integral part of pressing chamber, the strength of the press casing ensures normal operation of the press. The mechanical models of pressing chamber of the ZX10 type press created in MATLAB 7.0 for linear programming, and the 3D model of the press casing created in UG NX4.0 software were imported into ANSYS 9.0 software and a linear static finite element analysis was performed. The visual deflection patterns the part experiences under "real world" loading conditions were obtained so as to complete the security check of strength.
