Abstract

In recent years, for the purpose of bulk reduction to improve the handleability of fine powder (talc, carbon black) and performance in the post-process, many users are considering introduction of roller compactor and their inquiries are increasing. In 2013, after introducing a roller compactor from our Hosokawa Alpine Compaction, we developed a “shear-type briquette machine”, to produce compacts with high-strength. Our roller compactor can be tested at two locations: “Hosokawa Alpine Compaction (Leingarten, Germany)” and “Hosokawa Micron (Japan)”. We are scaling up to a large machine based on our test data etc. This report summarizes the outline, principle, and structure of our roller compactor, and the features and application examples of the shearing briquette.
