A New Type of Automatic Feeding Device for Biomass Briquetting Machine

Abstract:

Biomass is a kind of important renewable energy resource, while the solidification technology provides an effective way for its energy utilization. The current feeding device of the biomass briquetting machine in China is manual or semi-automated, with low production efficiency. A new kind of automatic feeding device has been designed to meet the continuous feed requirements of a production line with the production capacity of 10~12 T/h in this paper. The shaftless screw device can realize continuous material supply, and the batch hopper provide materials for different briquetting machine, at the same time the crank-rocker mechanism provides certain vibration to prevent material clogging. This device gives a uniform material supply with a high degree of automation, which can improve the biomass fuel production effectively proved by practice.
