Abstract
This paper summarizes the studies that have been undertaken during last few years which aim to improve our understanding of powder rolling process. Finite element based modeling was found to be the most versatile approach compared with other modeling techniques (slab method, and other approximations) used in the past. It is shown, that FEM is suitable to analyze material behavior through all stages of the rolling process: feeding zone, nip region, neutral plane and release section. This enables realistic computer experiments which can be helpful in establishing proper pressing system design and process conditions necessary to produce compacted or briquetted product with the desired properties. Examples of such simulation studies displaying the impact of design and operating variables on machine performance are presented for sub bituminous coal fines and microcrystalline cellulose.
