COMPLEX FOR MANUFACTURE OF FUEL ELEMENTS FROM WOOD DUST Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC C10L5/44 

FIELD: manufacture of fuel elements from wood dust produced at wood-working houses.

SUBSTANCE: wood dust 17 and binder are fed by means of charging device 15 and device 18 for feeding of binder into space 16 between contours 1 and 2 made from steel whole stretched or plated belt. Cylindrical drive brushes are positioned in upper parts of both contours. Mass produced is mixed and compacted in space 16 upon actuation of drive units 5, 6 and movement in downward direction of adjacent runs of contours 1 and 2. Pressure of compressed mass is perceived by converging runs of both contours and by straight roller supports 10 and 11 mounted on columns 3 and 4. Simultaneously with displacement of mass in downward direction, said mass is cut-through by acute edges of partitions 14 when partitions 14 of contour 1 approach run of contour 2. On approaching to lower units 5 and 6, individual fuel elements 20 formed as bars-logs are produced from said mass. Fuel elements are discharged onto conveyor 19.

EFFECT: increased efficiency and simplified construction of complex, and reduced costs for manufacture of said complex.
