Main Working Parts & Maintenance Cost
The main working parts of flat die pellet press machine are the rollers, the shaft bearings, the gears, and the flat dies. The easy-damaged parts are the gears the rollers and the die. According to feedback from our customers, the spare parts takes up approximate 8% of the machine cost every year. Because when a pellet press machine works, the materials are forced by a plate flat die,which is usually turned by a set of pinion gears. However in some cases like the one on the right, the rollers are driven and the die is stationary, this is just purely opinion as to whether the driven die or the driven roller variety is best.
Roller Parts For Pellet Machine
Rollers are the most important parts of pellet press machine for making pellets. The material of roller parts must be wearable. We adopt the best steel to make the rollers ,then to quench it by high temperature to improve the use life by 3–5 times. The simplest pellet press machine has at least one pair of rollers. But now, the new developed flat die pellet press machine have two or three pairs of rollers even four rollers which have bigger capacity of making pellets for poultry feed, organic fertilizer pellet, sawdust pellet.
Die Parts Specifications
The die parts have many pelleting holes for extruding material to compress the formation of pellets.the diameter of die holes ranges from 2.5–33mm for your choice,2.5–6mm flat die is usually used to make poultry feed pellet and animal manure organic fertilizer pellet while 8–33mm is used to make wood sawdust pellet for fuel use. Compared with ring die type pellet making machine. They have similar working theory for pelletizing but the ring die pellet mill have much bigger capacity and more complex structure. Generally, the flat die pellet press machine is suitable for home use or small working shop and light industrials. Spare parts of flat die pellet making machine includes rollers,flat dies which are the easy-damaged parts and main working parts of a pellet press machine.
Feed Pellet Mill Installation and Commissioning
Failure in making feed pellets,the most of problem is the commissioning instead of the machine. Here we introduce in general how to commission the feed mill.
1. Electrical & Hardware Setup
- Before use the machine on a stable position, connect the power supply and the knife must be 150-250 A air switch and electrical control box.
- Should check before booting the screw is loose, the tightness of the motor V-belt, motor rotation direction is correct, the line voltage to meet the requirements, the gap between the two pressure wheel template (0.1-0.3MM) balance gear rotating gearbox within plus hypoid gear oil should be added to the oil line before boot.
2. A New Pellet Machine Running-Specific Methods (Run-in):
- 1: Take corn flour 5kgs, small the oatmeal 5KGS, edible oil 1.5KGS, mix well.
- 2: Take 50-100kgs materials needed, plus a 6-8KGS water, and mix well.
- 3: then pushed the knife and let the motor idle for 2-3 minutes, to see whether the same pressure wheel speed, if not the same, with adjustment bolt adjustment. As late, and with good oil slowly handfuls into the barrel within the discharge can not be too fast pressure roller, the material can not be buried, such as molding and other particles out, may be out of the material call again, do not run-in many times. This is the run-in.
- 4: after a run-in can not be shut down immediately prepared pellets slowly into the bucket and begins normal operation.
Extreme Troubleshooting
If there is no run-in in accordance with the above method, no particles can drum win all playing through the hole in the template with the point of an electric drill and concrete nails.
