Development of a Method for Mechanical Strength Analysis of Pelletizing Machine
Öz
As the sources of fossil fuels are restricted and usage of them is resulted to GHG
emission, it is necessary to use renewable energy sources as strong alternative for fossil fuel. Solid
biomass is one of these renewable energy sources in order to produce heat and electric. In order
to use solid biomass energy much more effectively it must be pelletized. Pelletizing is a mass and
energy densification for materials with low bulk density such as sawdust, straw and other
herbaceous energy crops. Pelletizing is a method of increasing the bulk density of biomass by
mechanical pressure. The process assists to reduce transportation costs, provides better handling
and feeding of the biomass and efficient storage with less dust formation. In the industrial scale,
pelletizing of biomass is done by means of cylindrical pelletizing machines. Generally, these
machines are manufactured by small scale companies. Samll scale pelletizing machine
manufactures usully have not suffiicant knowlage and staff to run comprehensive mechanical
strength analyses during machine design process. The objective of this study is to proper a simple
program for mechanical strength analysis for main parts of cylindrical pelletizing machines.
