FEA on the Roller Bracing Structure of Pellet Mill

Abstract:

In feed industry, the production efficiency is the main index to judge the performance of pellet mill. The stability of the pelleting process has an important influence on the production efficiency, and the rigidity of the roller bracing structure has a great effect upon the stability of the pelleting process. To improve the rigidity, two extra supporting shafts were usually used in the roller bracing structure system. According to the positions where the supporting shafts locate, the cross-sectional shape and area of the supporting shafts, six different kinds of supporting schemes were designed in this paper. Then the deformation of the roller in different supporting schemes were comparatively analyzed. The analysis results can provide an important reference to improve the stabilization of the pelleting process.
