Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a method for operating an extrusion mill, in particular a pellet mill, comprising a perforated drum and a number of rollers within the drum, rotatable about their axes and cooperating with the drum to press material to be treated through the perforations in the drum wall, with driving means to have the drum and the axes of the rollers rotate relatively to each other about the axis of the drum, with means to adjust the position of the rollers radially with respect to the drum wall, and to an extrusion mill for use in this method.
- Such extrusion mills are often used for making compressed feed in the shape of so-called pellets for feeding cattle or for making pellets for other purposes, by pressing the materials by force through the openings in the drum by the action of the rollers. The strands of material extruded through the openings in the drum can be peeled off by a knife blade along the outer wall of the drum so as to form short cylindrical "rods", the so-called pellets.
- Such extrusion mills are known, e.g. from US-A-2.157.528; 2.160.302; 2.240.660 and 2.648.296.
- Therein the rollers are adjustable towards and away from the drum wall, sometimes over a short distance, in other cases over a longer distance. In order to adjust the rollers, the mill has to be stopped or at least the extrusion has to be interrupted, e.g. because the mill casing has to be opened for the adjustment. In some cases the rollers are free to move outwardly towards the drum wall by centrifugal force, the adjusting means only defining their radially inward position, but also in such cases the rollers are almost immediately pushed inwardly into said inward position as soon as material to be extruded is fed into the drum.
- The present invention is based on the insight that, for many materials to be treated in such mills, this situation is known mills of this type is disadvantageous and avoid or make totally impossible an efficient operation. If the rollers are initially put into a position at a distance from the drum wall they will at first not rotate, but on further feeding of the mill the material fed thereto, which often is tacky, will clog and block the mill entirely. This is also the case when the rollers are free, in an empty mill, to contact the drum wall by centrifugal force.
- Depending on the nature of the material to be extruded, the characteristics thereof as to tackiness, viscosity, sliding characteristics on the surface and pressing characteristics it is, in known mills, often necessary to replace the drum by a drum with other, in particular longer or shorter extrusion openings, so with a thicker or thinner wall.
- The present invention aims at improving such a method and such a mill in the above respects and to this end first of all a method as indicated above is according to the invention characterized in that at the beginning of the extrusion, the rollers are positioned with their peripheries close to the drum wall and that, during continuing extrusion, the rollers are moved inwardly to take up a distance from the drum wall, by means operable from the outside of the mill.
- An extrusion mill, in particular a pellet mill, comprising in known way a perforated drum and a number of rollers within the drum, rotatable about their axes and cooperating with the drum to press material to be treated through the perforations in the drum wall, with driving means to have the drum and the axes of the rollers rotate relatively to each other about the axis of the drum, with means to adjust the position of the rollers radially with respect to the drum wall, is according to the invention characterized in that a rotatable adjusting shaft is provided with its axis in the axis of the drum, having means extending to the outside of the mill to rotate this shaft, onto which shaft cam means are provided, the axes of the rollers being guided movably by the means carrying the rollers, the cam means cooperating with parts on the axes of the rollers in order to allow or cause movement of these axes radially inwardly when the adjusting shaft with cam means are rotated with respect to these axes.
- In this way it is possible, without the necessity to interrupt pressing, to adapt the position of the rollers to the situation at any moment, the amount of adjustment of the rollers in the radial direction at any moment being easily chosen on the basis of experiences, experiments and/or measurements. Such ad- justement may take place under control of a computer programmed by such information. Experiences, which may govern such adjustment, may relate to treatment of the same material in the same mill in an earlier stage, from which the best amount of adjustment of the rollers and course of adjustment in time during pressing is known.
- Preferably, spring means are provided, acting on the said parts on the axes of the rollers, to urge the said parts radially into contact with the cam means.
- In the most preferred embodiment of the mill, this is characterized in that the feed means for material to be extruded, extending through one of the bordering end faces of the mill perpendicularly to the axis of the drum, the adjusting shaft extending through supporting means for the drum at the other side of the drum, said shaft having, outside said supporting means, drive means and means for indicating its angular position and therewith the distance of the rollers to the drum wall.
- Thereby the feed side of the drum is fully free for this feed and is not obstructed by the adjusting mechanism, so that it is possible to feed the material to be treated freely from above into the lower part of the drum, as is desired, while said drive means and indicating means are positioned at a distance from the flow of material, so that they for instance are not subjected to the often rather high temperatures in the drum where pressing often takes place in a steam atmosphere.
- It is possible to rotate the adjusting shaft by a motor through a suitable gear mechanism, which is shiftable and preferably is a continuously varying transmission gear. The adjusting shaft may easily be provided for instance in a thick hollow hub shaft for rotating the drum and supporting it in cantilever fashion.
- When applying the invention a wide range of operating conditions is obtainable by correctly choosing the pattern and the amount of adjustment of the rollers from the drum wall to the inside, and this makes it less necessary to replace the drum frequently for different materials.
- The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the enclosed drawings.
-
- Fig. 1 is an axial section, in part somewhat diagrammatic, of an extrusion mill according to the invention in a preferred embodiment, and
- Fig. 2 is an axial view on a larger scale along line II-II in Fig. 1 of the adjusting means near the drum and the rollers, without the drum itself and its casing parts.
- An extrusion mill of the type as indicated has a casing 1, in which means are present, not shown, such as an electric motor and a transmission mechanism with gear wheels, chains or V-belts, of which the driven part is rigidly connected to a
hub sleeve 2, which is rigidly connected to a cylindrical drum wall 3 having a large number of throughgoing radial openings. By ball-bearings 4 saidhub sleeve 2 is journalled on and around a stationerycentral shaft 5, to which adisk 6 is rigidly connected, having supporting means for threepressing rollers 7, which are freely rotatable with respect to and supported byshafts 8 in a manner generally known. - Around the drum 3 there is a casing 9 connected by pivoting means not shown to casing 1 and locked by locking means opposite said pivoting means so that this casing 9 may be opened and swung away from the drum to give access thereto. The casing 9 serves to shroud the moving parts therein, for sealing them with respect to the ambient atmosphere also at the supply side for the material and for taking up pellets formed therein. A doctoring knife blade not shown can rest against the outside wall of the drum 3 and be urged towards it by resilient means, as usual. As this knife blade is stationery and the drum rotates this knife blade can peel off the extruded strands of material issuing from the openings in the drumm wall and having a considerable coherence, so as to divide them in mainly cylindrical bodies of relatively short length, the so-called pellets.
- A
feed funnel 10 for feeding the material to be treated is rigidly connected to the end wall of casing 9. At the inside of said end wall there is a substantiallyannular body 11 extending into close proximity of the left terminal edge of the drum as seen in Fig. 1, saidbody 11 having blades orother guides 12 to give the material fed thereto a component of movement towards the inside of the drum 3. - The
central stationery shaft 5 is hollow in that it has a central throughgoing opening, through which an adjustingshaft 13 extends, which is journalled at 14 at left and right indisk 6 andshaft 5 respectively. - An adjusting
motor 15, if desired provided with a suitable speed reducinggear mechanism 16, is provided to rotate the adjustingshaft 13 over part of a revolution, for instance over 100°, in both directions. On shaft 13 adisk 17 is provided with suitable indexing means, cooperating with afeeler 18 for observing the angular position ofdisk 17 and thus ofshaft 13. This observation may be performed in several ways, mechanically or electrically, as usual. Thefeeler 18 gives a signal to apanel 19 allowing direct reading of the angular position ofdisk 17 or of an indication, obtained by direct translation thereof, of the distance of therollers 7 to the inner wall of the drum 3. - In the view of Fig. 2 the
stationery disk 6 is seen in the background.Bolts 20 are screwed into this disk and these bolts carry acarrier 21 for the rollers near the left terminal plane of the drum as seen in Fig. 1. At the right of drum 3 as seen in Fig. 1 thedisk 6 acts as such a carrier for the rollers. - The
disk 6 and thecarrier 21 have threeradial guide tracks 22 at mutual angles of 120°, with in each of said guide tracks asliding block 23 with a bearing for theshaft 8 of aroller 7.Compression springs 24, supported onto the radial outer side bottom of eachguide track 22, urge the slidingblocks 23 radially inwards. - On the adjusting
shaft 13 there is, both at the left and at the right terminal face of the drum 3 as seen in Fig. 1, acam disk 25 with threecam faces 26, each extending over 120° of thecam disk 25, and eachsliding block 23 has afollower body 27 of hard material, by which it is in contact with the outer periphery of thecam disk 25. - By rotating the adjusting
shaft 13 thecam disks 25 rotate therewith, so that the radial position of each slidingblock 23 is changed by such rotation. The two opposite sliding blocks for eachroller 7 are positioned symmetrically and at the same angles in the peripheral direction that theaxes 8 of the rollers are always maintained parallel to the wall of the drum 3. By rotating the adjusting shaft it is thus possible to move therollers 7 towards the drum wall or away therefrom, for instance over a radial distance of 3 cm. - It will be clear that the
adjusting mechanism 15 to 18 in Fig. 1 is at a considerable distance from the flow of the material and the moving parts of the drum and rollers and that this mechanism is in no way hampered operationally thereby. Adjustment of the rollers is always possible without in any way interrupting the operation of the drum. The danger of contamination of the adjusting means is a minimum and the adjustment can take place over relatively considerable distances and can be controlled very accurately, also for very small adjustments. - In Figs 1 and 2 it is shown that the
axes 8 of therollers 7, shown in Fig. 1 as dot and dash-lines and in Fig. 2 as a point, have eccentric shaft trunnions 8' , so that when rotating them in theblocks 23 with the aid of the hexagonal heads as shown in Fig. 2 these axes are somewhat displaced with respect to the axes of said trunnions 8'. This serves only for a mutual adjustment of the rollers over a very small radial distance, so that they can be adjusted to be exactly in the same position radially with respect to the drum wall notwithstanding dimensional deviations in the structure. - It is known to measure the coherence of the pellets e.g. by moving a number of them around in a rotating drum and to measure the dust generated. This can be done quite rapidly. If too much dust (particles loosened from the pellets) is measured, the rollers can be adjusted to avoid this in further pressing. Making the rollers move farther inwardly this will result in harder (more coherent) pellets.
