Pellet Press Machine

Pellet press machine is the one common use name of machines which can compress biomass material into pellets, and it is also known as pellet mill, pellet machine or pelletizer. In the market, you can find many different types of pellet press machine. Every type of pellet press has advantages and disadvantages. So you should pick the right machine depending on your specific needs. Flat die pellet press and ring die pellet press are the two main types.

Flat Die Pellet Press Machine

Flat die pellet press is the first design of pellet making machine, manufactured in early 20th to make animal feeds. Flat die pellet press machine adopts a vertical design. The raw materials are feed from the top of the machine, and then fell onto a roller with a horizontally mounted die underneath. The material will be compressed through the die and then pellets are formed after falling from the pellet die. Flat die pellet press machines are generally used for small scale pellet production covering home pellets making and individual pellets process. They have a lower price and smaller size when compared with ring die design machine. Flat die pellet machine is also easy to start with and also easy to operate, adjust and maintain. However there are also some disadvantages such as the possibility of roller and die skip. This skipping may increase the wear of pellet mill dies and rollers.

Ring Die Pellet Press Machine

Ring die pellet press machine are mostly used for large-scale or commercial pellet production. Ring die type is kind of vertical design as pellet rollers and dies on the vertical axis when operating. Ring die pellet press will not have skipping problems, and that is to say the life of ring die pellet mill parts is considerable longer. Practically, small pellet press, especially mini pellet press machine is totally not necessary to use ring die design. It is overqualified and waste of money to use a high cost ring die design on home or individual pellet making.
