Pelletizing analysis of cylinder pelletizer on MgO-fluxed pellets by discrete element method (DEM)

Discrete Element Method (DEM) was used to analyze palletization process of MgO-fluxed pellets in cylinder pelletizer. The effects of the charge ratio and rotational speed of the cylinder pelletizer on the behavior of MgO-fluxed pellets were investigated by using the simulation. The simulation result...

Description
Summary:Discrete Element Method (DEM) was used to analyze palletization process of MgO-fluxed pellets in cylinder pelletizer. The effects of the charge ratio and rotational speed of the cylinder pelletizer on the behavior of MgO-fluxed pellets were investigated by using the simulation. The simulation results show that under the condition of a certain gradient angle of the cylinder pelletizer (The gradient angle is 3°), the suitable parameters of the cylinder pelletizer are that the charge ratio is 3 % and the rotational speed N/ critical rotational speed N<sub>C</sub> is 0,3.
