The method of determination of the optimal constructive and technological parameters of dispersed materials granulation through consolidation is represented within the task of nonlinear mathematical programming. The method is based on mathematical modeling of dispersion materials extrusion through the granulator matrix holes. The method allows taking into account constructive features of technological equipment and rheological properties of the raw material.
The process of extrusion pelletizing particulate materials, such as sunflower and buckwheat husk, oak and pine chips, wheat straw and bran has been considered. It was investigated the effect of temperature of raw materials, compacting pressure and the diameter of the press-matrix on quality of fuel pellets.
