Chilsonator Roller Compactor

The Chilsonator roll compactor is specifically designed to meet the Chemical industry requirements. As to the operating advantages of this equipment, perhaps the most outstanding is our feed system, which consists of a horizontal screw metering material into a vertical screw. The action of the vertical screw is to provide a relatively slow compression of the feed material allowing entrained air to escape and to apply pressure on the deaerated material in the nip region of the rolls. The action of this feed system allows the processing of a substantially broader range of product characteristics allowing the equipment to accommodate variations in bulk densities and aeration characteristics. In extreme cases an optional vacuum system may also be used to assist in deaeration.

The rolls of our smaller units (IR 220, IR 520, IR 4 X 10) are designed in a Cantilever manner which facilitates both easy cleaning as well as the ability to utilize a variety of roll configurations. Water-cooling is available to the rolls for applications where the material tends to heat under pressure.

The larger machines (4B4X10 and larger) are also designed with features to provide convenient access to the rolls and other components for maintenance and cleaning.

The roll gap is variable on all of our equipment, and the roll force is maintained by a simple but effective hydraulic system. This is done in order to maintain an even pressure on the product as it passes through the rolls and to compensate for variations in the bulk density or other handling characteristics of the feed material.
