The Integrated Pellet System al- lows operators to quickly change the die without coming into con- tact with the die surface. The external rolls and die speed are programmed and auto- matically adjustable to ensure maximum output and minimal energy consumption. The lack of contact between rolls and die ensures minimal wear on both elements, and the reduced rpm and processed raw material improves the life of key components. The simplified die clamping system allows the operator to avoid direct contact with the die surface while changing the die easily in about one hour. www.kerry-die.com, [email protected] LA MECCANICA IS AT HOME IN PELLETING INDUSTRY La Meccanica’s 48 years of experience in the design and manufacturing of ma- chines for the pelleting industry encompasses mills, dehydration plants, sugar refineries, oil mills, organic and mineral-organic fertilizer processing plants, the waste and recycling industry, and wood pellet plants. Currently expanding its North American market within the wood processing industry, La Meccanica’s machinery is specifically designed to withstand the rigours of producing wood pellets. The durability of components such as bearings, dies, and rolls contributes to the long life expectancy of La Mecca- nica’s machinery. It offers low operational costs attrib- uted in part to the durability of its components, which can increase the machinery’s life expectancy by about three times compared to others cur- rently in the market. By keeping the design and production processes in-house, La Meccanica maintains direct control in real time and the ability to treat require- ments on a case-by-case basis. www.lameccanica.it/page.jsp?idLingua=1, [email protected] Nova’s range of pellet mills offers high pellet output combined with energy sav- ings. NOVA PELLETS SAVE ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT Nova Pellet manufactures a complete range of machinery, from small- to medi- um- and large-scale pellet production. The company’s pellet mills combine patented technology, efficiency, and environmental friendliness. Among its patented tech- nology are a servo drive and programmable logic controller (PLC) system. Nova has increased efficiency by minimizing the electrical kilowatts consumed for each kilogram per hour of pellets produced, which results in significant energy savings. These mills will produce pellets without any additives, from natural origin, so DIN Plus standards can be reached easily. All machinery is developed to give low pro- duction costs and high-quality pellets to make owners competitive in both private and industrial markets. Nova Pellet also designs plant layouts and builds turnkey pellet plants, from chip reduction to pellet packaging. www.novapellet.it, [email protected] The SPC line includes this self-contained portable pellet mill seen at World Bioenergy in Sweden. SILVANA TRADING AND SPC OFFER COMPLETE SOLUTIONS Silvana Trading specializes in small-scale pellet presses from Sweden Power Chippers (SPC) for production ca- pacities of 1,000 to 15,000 tons/year of pellets. It can supply either the presses alone or full turnkey installa- tion. SPC pellet mills offer fully automatic production with minimal supervision requirements. Production can be increased easily by adding parallel lines. Pellet presses range from the PP300 Kompakt that converts wood into 8 mm diameter pellets, with a capacity of up to 250-350 kg/hour, to the PP450 Kompakt that converts wood into 6 or 8 mm diameter pellets, with a capacity of up to 500 kg/hour. Small-scale pellet production is advantageous when the costs of raw materials and transportation are low such as when using dry wood shavings and sawdust from an existing planer mill or similar facility. www.silvanatrading.com, [email protected] 22 CanadianBIOMASS AUGUST 2009
