ABSTRACT
The article presents tests of the influence of the density of the mass flux of the densified material (5.29, 6.80, and 8.31 kg/m2•s) and the
influence of the rotational speed of the matrix (280, 330, and 380 r•min-1) on the power consumption of the pellet mill and the quality of obtained
pellets. The tests were carried out on a SS-2 stand with a working system of a pellet mill with a rotating matrix. On the basis of performed
tests it was concluded that an increase in density of the mass flux of densified material and an increase in rotational speed of the
matrix cause an increase in power consumption of the device and a reduction of the density and kinetic durability of obtained pellets.
