How It Makes Pellets

1: You put raw raw materials into the flat die pellet making machine.
2: The materials spreads evenly on the plate.
3: rollers press and push materials down hard.
4: materials gets squeezed through holes.
5: A blade cuts pellets to perfect length.

Applications:

1. Animal feed production.
2. Biomass fuel pellets.

4. Feeding the Raw Material

1. Loading the Hopper: Slowly pour the prepared material into the hopper.
2. Adjusting the Feed Rate: Use the controls to set the desired feed rate.

5. Starting the Pelletizing Process

1. Start Making Pellets
   Press the green start button or turn the key right to begin. Always wait for the “ready” beep sound first.
2. Watch the Machine
   Keep watching the control screen and listen for smooth noises. If the red light blinks, press the emergency stop button fast.

Troubleshooting Common Issues: From Jamming to Power Failures

1. Pellet Mill Won’t Start

• Problem: When the power switch is ON but nothing happens.
• Solution:
  • Look at the 3-prong plug, the plug must be fully pushed in.
  • Test fuses with a screw driver (15A/20A markings).
  • Press the emergency stop (big red button) 3 times to reset.

2. Uneven Pellet Sizes

• Problem: Pellets come out big and small together.
• Solution:
  • Look at Mold
    Check the metal plate (called die) for cracks with a flashlight.
  • Prepare Materials
    Cut all materials into 1-inch pieces before feeding.
  • Test Moisture
    Use the meter to keep water level between 12-15%.

3. Machine Jamming

• Problem: The flat die pellet mill stops working every 10-15 minutes.
• Solution:
  • Find Blockers
    Use a magnet stick to check for metal bits or stones (bigger than 0.2 inches).
  • Clear Jam
    Turn off power → Use hook tool to pull out jam → Brush away dust
  • Check Parts Fit
    Make sure all parts fixed tight and no gaps over 0.5mm. Test with a ruler.

4. Poor Pellet Quality

• Problem: Pellets are easy to crack when squeezed between fingers.
• Solution:
  • Check Wetness
    make sure the materials moisture at 12-15%. Add water if below 10%.
  • Measure Holes
    Use calipers to check die holes are exactly 6mm (no bigger!).
  • Set Pressure
    Turn knob to 800-1000 PSI (green zone on gauge).

5. Decreased Output

• Problem: The flat die pellet press output is lower than usual.
• Solution:
  • Check Wear
    UUse a ruler to measure die thickness, the die thickness must be over 0.5 inches.
  • Clear Blockages
    Turn off power → Use hook tool to pull out stuck bits → Brush away leftover material.
  • Set Feed Speed
    Keep feed knob in green zone (3-5 cups per minute).

6. Unexpected Shutdowns

• Problem: The flat die pellet mill turns off by itself every 30-60 minutes.
• Solution:
  • Check Heat
    Use infrared thermometer (don’t touch!) on motor. the temperature must be under 150°F (65°C).
  • Test Motor
    Listen for loud noises. Smell for burnt wires. Check if power light is green.
  • Power Check
    Test all plugs with a voltage pen. Replace 15A fuses if black marks show.
