Product catalog summary
Overview of KAHL Pelleting Process Technology
The document outlines the KAHL process technology for compacting and shaping powdery, lumpy, or pasty products through pelleting. The core principle is to adapt the machine to the product, offering an economic alternative to more expensive processes.

Key Components and Equipment
  • Machines and Plants: KAHL provides a range of machines, plants, and turnkey factories tailored to specific customer needs.
  • Pelleting Presses: Central to the KAHL pelleting plant is the flat die press, available in various capacities from small-scale (10 kg/h) to high capacity (35 t/h).
  • Continuous and Batch Mixers: Used for mixing bulk materials with liquids, allowing for the addition of multiple streams of materials.
  • Proportioning Screws: Ensure continuous feeding of products into mixers.
  • Belt Drier and Cooler: Modular design for drying and cooling products post-pelleting.
  • NEUHAUS NEOTEC Chemical Roll Grinder: For crushing pellets to reduce particle size or increase surface area.

Applications and Capabilities
  • Versatility: The technology can handle products with high slipping properties, low melting points, and those requiring inert gas processing.
  • Applications: Includes conditioning of raw materials, product shaping, blending, waste product conditioning, compacting for recycling, and production of finished products.
  • Product Testing: Over 5000 products have been successfully pelleted in the KAHL pilot plant, including catalysts, pharmaceuticals, pigments, and more.

Technical Features
  • Hydraulic Roller Adjustment: Allows for precise control of the pelleting process.
  • Die Heating and Cooling: For processing thermosensitive products and plastic additives.
  • Pellet Diameter: Products with a diameter of less than 2 mm require a slipping agent, while those over 2 mm do not.

Conclusion
The KAHL pelleting technology offers a proven, adaptable solution for a wide range of industries, supported by extensive product testing and customization to meet specific customer requirements.

KAHL continuous mixers are used to obtain continuous mixing of bulk material with liquids. Several streams of bulk material, liquids, and steam can be added. The central piece of a KAHL pelleting plant is the flat die press for compacting and shaping. The variety of KAHL presses ranges from the press for small-scale production (10 kg/h) to the high capacity presses (35 t/h). Thanks to the exchange of experience with our customers and to constant technical optimizations, we can offer a variety of plants. Thus, we have also developed solutions for the pelleting of thermosensitive and pasty products...
