Abstract
A briquetting roll press is disclosed which includes a number of replaceable mold segments. The mold segments are designed to transmit the radial compression forces applied to the mold segments to the central member of the briquetting roll through the sidewalls of the mold segments.
Claims17
A mold segment for a briquetting roll comprising:
- an arcuate top working surface;
- two opposite endwalls;
- and
- opposite sidewalls being disposed to transmit substantially all of the radial pressure applied to said segment through said sidewalls to said roll said sidewalls including upper and lower portions, the upper portions of said sidewalls are disposed at an angle convergent with respect to said top working surface and said lower portions of said sidewalls are divergent with respect to the axis of rotation of said rolls.

A briquetting roll comprising:
- a cylindrical central member having a generally arcuate outer surface with a plurality of substantially conical cavities therein;
- a plurality of detachable mold segments comprised of:
- an arcuate top working surface, said surface being a segment of a cylinder with said cylinder being coaxial with said roll;
- endwalls being substantially flat and angularly disposed one from the other;
- sidewalls connecting said upper working surface and said endwalls, each of said sidewalls being comprised of upper and lower sidewall portions, said lower sidewall portion being generally conical and divergent with respect to the axis of rotation of said roll, the conical angle of said lower sidewall portions being substantially equal to the conical angle of said conical cavities in said central member;
- said mold segments being disposed to fit within said conical cavities in said central member such that substantially all of the radial pressure applied to said mold segment is transmitted to said central member through said lower sidewall portions;
- and
- means for engaging said upper sidewall portions to affix said mold segments within said cavities in said central member.
