HD pellet technology:
Best practice in pellet production
THE INNOVATIVE
HD TECHNOLOGY
The HD pellet technology is based on an entirely new principle. The pellets rotating on the round die are carefully cut to a defined length with the rotating movement. This is why HD pellets are not only more uniform and longer, but also more solid.
HD® makes it technically possible to produce pellets of a defined length for the first time:
The average length, length peak and maximum length can be set with millimetre precision – the system guarantees there are no over-length pellets. Only by using HD pellet technology can pellets with a length distribution which is ideal for pellet burning system be specifically produced.
LESS FRICTION AND
SCREENING LOSSE
Practical experience shows that the measurement values for friction in pellet factories on average are halved through conversion to the HD technology, and thus a significantly lower screening proportion must be fed through the production process for a second time. With values of between 0.3% and 0.8%, HD pellets are in a class of their own.
And there are significantly lower screening losses in storage and handling of HD pellets as well. The measurable and visible HD quality is retained right up to customers’ storage facilities. HD pellets also have a significantly better length distribution after blowing in. The amount of fine particles in customers’ storage facilities (<3.15 mm) is regularly less than 1%.
INSTALLATION
AND OPERATION
HD technology can be used in all standard round die presses. We undertake the individual technical conversion and installation of the HD technology.
Daily oversight and adjustment is simple and is carried out by trained production staff.
The HD quality system is integrated into the production process and builds on the existing certification programmes.
Every HD pellet manufacturer must always be certified in accordance with the requirements of DINplus or ENplus-A1. In addition, stricter requirements for the mechanical resistance are defined in the HD quality system and there are particular HD-specific parameters for length distribution.
