Briquette Press Mold Shape Optimization
Internal Angle and Curvature
- Optimize mold's internal angle and curvature for smooth material flow
- Replace sharp edges with rounded corners to reduce friction
- Ensure smooth surfaces to prevent material accumulation and uneven compression
Cross-Sectional Area
- For low-density materials: Use gradually reducing cross-section to apply increasing pressure
- For denser materials: Maintain uniform cross-section to prevent excessive pressure
- Customize based on material compressibility and bonding requirements
Length-to-Diameter Ratio
- Longer molds provide extended compression time for better compaction
- Balance length to prevent over-compression or energy waste
- Adjust ratio based on material's pressure duration requirements
Surface Textures
- Experiment with micro-grooves or patterns to increase friction
- Improve briquette shape retention during ejection
- Reduce deformation likelihood while maintaining easy release
Pro Tip: Regularly analyze the relationship between mold shape adjustments and forming rate data for continuous optimization.
