Abstract :

A b s t r a c t. An extrusion device with hydraulic press and a single hole die has been adapted from previous experiments, in order to test the pelleting ability of compound feeds. The analysis of the curve leads to the calculation of several criteria which could be ~ to characterize the behaviour of the material according to the processing variables, in order to predict fullscale pelleting.
