Granulator compactor for the chemical industry ARC series

Roller presses especially for the chemical, food and minerals industries. Typical areas of application: Chemical industry: Lignin, fertiliser Mineral and metallurgical industry: Sponge iron, coal, metal dust, limestone, briquetting, talc compaction Food industry: Compaction of protein concentrate Advantages of compacting for your product and production: Improvement of the flow properties Reduction of dust pollution, Improvement of the through-flow Improvement of the distribution behaviour Customised particle size and shape Increased bulk density Modified reaction behaviour (such as solubility) The Hosokawa Alpine MS kompaktor series is used when a compacted material in the form of briquettes or granules is required for process steps within the value chain. This kompaktor is ideally suited for precisely these applications. The Hosokawa Alpine MS kompaktor series has two counter-rotating rollers that press the fine-grained powder into solid flakes or briquettes. This machine can also be used as a high-pressure roller mill for grinding solid, abrasive materials. The roller is mounted on tapered roller bearings on both sides. This bearing concept allows not only radial forces to be absorbed but also axial force components, which guarantees a very long service life for the bearings. The roller/bearing arrangement is accommodated in a hinged press frame system. One of the two rollers is designed as a fixed roller and the second roller as a loose roller. The loose roller is pre-tensioned with a hydro-pneumatic spring system, allowing the required pressing forces to be applied during operation.
