What is Flat Die Pellet Mill?
Flat die pellet mill is a machine which can turn powder materials into small dry pellets. There are a wide range of applications for flat die pelleting machine, and it is a commonly utilized industrial process all over the world, seen everywhere from plants which make feed to recycling facilities processing materials for reuse.
This process is usually accomplished with a specialized machine called a flat die pellet press machine, which can operate in a number of different ways, depending on the material being pelletized.
Animal feed is also made by the flat die pellet machine. This type of feed is produced by grinding constituent ingredients which can be turned into pellets and allowed to dry before packaging.
Dry feed is lighter and easier to handle, and pelletizing allows companies to create a range of feed blends for different animals, with various additives as needed. The working principle of the flat die pellet making machine relies on the pressure between dies and rollers.
Application of Flat Die Pellet Mill
This series of flat die pellet mill can not only be used in small, medium or large feed plant but also can be used at home. This kind of feed pellet machine is mainly used to make animal feed like chicken food pellet, duck food pellet, fish feed pellet, sheep feed, and so on. Raw materials can be alfalfa, grass meal, straw meal, corn meal, rice husk and so on. But if you want large production, you can check our ring die pellet mill.

Features of VTKLP Flat Die Pellet Machine
1. Advanced Technology:
VTKLP series flat die pellet mill adopts the most advanced technology of flat die pellet machine at home and abroad and has been continuously developed and improved by our technicians through several years. We utilizes an upgraded automotive reduction assembly. This ensures a 20% higher torque transfer and significantly quieter operation compared to traditional belt-drive systems
2.Wear-resisting Property:
Especially the die and the press roller are made of the best steel, which is hot quenched. So the wear-resisting property and life time of a flat die pellet mill is increased by 3–5 years. Because we utilize 20CrMnTi alloy steel and undergoes vacuum quenching treatment. so the die and roller achieve a hardness of HRC 58–60. Under normal operating conditions, the service life of the die and roller can reach 600–800 hours.
3.Dry In and Out:
Feed and grass meal can be directly made into pellet without adding any liquid materials. the feed goes in and out dryly. So it does not need to be dried. Because the friction and pressure heating generated between the die and rollers, the starch within the raw materials naturally gelatinizes at temperatures between 70°C and 80°C, this allows pellet forming without additional steam or water content. So, the moisture of the finished pellets can be reduced to below 12%, making them exceptionally easy to store and transporting.
4.Smooth Pellets:
The pellet is highly strong and smooth.
5.Nutritional Value:
The temperature is about 70℃ in process, so the protein denatures, the nutritional value increases and is easy to absorb for animals.
6.Multi-functional:
This kind of flat die pellet mill machine can be used together with crusher, blender, conveyor and automatic packing machine.
Working Principle of Flat Die Pellet Machine
The first design of flat die pellet mill to be used was the flat die pellet machine, developed at the start of the 20th century to process animal feeds pellet. This design of feed pellet machine was based on a vertical design, where material fell onto a roller section sat on the surface of a horizontally mounted die. Material was then compressed through the die, and pellets fell from the bottom of the die.
