Hydraulic Pelletizer

A hydraulic pelletizer for pelletizing a material comprising:

• a. a material to be pelletized;
• b. at least one pelleting chamber consisting of—
• i. at least one die fixedly attached to a shaft adapted to rotate and accept the material into a predetermined shape form in the die and form the mixture into pellets where upon reaching the desired size are ejected from the die,
• ii. at least one roller pressingly engaging the die,
• iii. a shaft rotationally engaging a hydraulic drive motor to rotate the die in the pelleting chamber,
• iv. at least one feed cone accepting the mixture, and
• v. at least one feed deflector forcing the material between the roller and die;
• c. a hydraulic drive system having—
• i. a hydraulic motor,
• ii. a hydraulic pump,
• iii. a splined shaft, and
• iv. a fluid tank;
• and
• d. a system controller,
• whereby the material to be pelletized is transferred to the pelleting chamber where the hydraulic drive system powers the pelleting chamber components through the shaft, where the die rotates receiving material and creating pellets.

A hydraulic pelletizer for pelletizing a material comprising:

• a. at least one conditioning chamber with an entrance at which the material enters and an exit from which a mixture exits having—
• i. at least one pelletizing material chute adjacent to the entrance,
• ii. at least one paddle shaft with a plurality of paddles thereon, and
• iii. a drive interface for receiving rotational input from a motor, changing its rotational rate, and transferring the rotational rate to the paddle shaft;
• b. at least one pelleting chamber consisting of—
• i. at least one feed cone receiving the mixture from the conditioning chamber exit into the pelleting chamber,
• ii. at least one die,
• iii. at least one roller pressingly engaging the die,
• iv. a die engagement interface for rotationally coupling a hydraulic drive motor to rotate the die and rollers relative to one another, and
• v. at least one feed deflector forcing the mixture between the roller and the die;
• c. at least one hydraulic drive system having—
• i. at least one hydraulic drive motor,
• ii. at least one hydraulic pump,
• iii. a hydraulic motor interface, and
• iv. a fluid tank;
• and
• d. a system controller,
• whereby the mixture is prepared in the conditioning chamber then transferred to the pelleting chamber where the hydraulic drive system powers the pelleting chamber components forming the mixture into a predetermined shape form in the die and upon reaching a desired size ejecting the pellets from the die.

A hydraulic pelletizer for pelletizing a material comprising:

• a. a material to be pelletized
• b. at least one conditioning chamber having—
• i. at least one pelletizing material chute,
• ii. at least one additive input for receiving and transferring additives into the material to create a mixture,
• iii. at least one steam inlet for infusing a desired level moisture and heat into the mixture,
• iv. at least one gearbox for receiving rotational input from motor, changing a rotational rate, and transferring the rotational rate to a paddle shaft,
• v. at least one motor for rotationally engaging the gear box, and
• vi. at least one paddle shaft with a plurality of paddles thereon mixing the material, additives, and moisture and moving the mixture through the conditioning chamber to an exit;
• c. at least one pelleting chamber consisting of—
• i. at least one die fixedly attached to a shaft adapted to rotate and accept the mixture into a predetermined shape form in the die and form the mixture into pellets where upon reaching the desired size are ejected from the die,
• ii. at least one roller pressingly engaging the die,
• iii. a shaft rotationally engaging a hydraulic drive motor to rotate the die in the pelleting chamber,
• iv. at least one feed cone adapted to transfer the mixture from the conditioning chamber exit to the pelleting chamber,
• v. at least one feed deflector forcing the material between the roller and die
• d. a hydraulic drive system having—
• i. a hydraulic drive motor,
• ii. a hydraulic pump,
• iii. a splined shaft, and
• iv. a fluid tank;
• and
• e. a system controller,
• whereby the material to be pelletized is prepared in the conditioning chamber then transferred to the pelleting chamber where the hydraulic drive system powers the pelleting chamber components through the shaft, where the die rotates receiving material and creating pellets.
