Wood Pellet Extruder - Roller and Die Clearance
It can impact heavily on how successfully, the wood pellet extruder operates, is the distance between the roller and die template. The roller and die are wearing consumable parts, due to the abrasive nature and pressure of compression. The distance set between the roller and die can impact on how much energy the pellet extruder uses, the quality of the pellet, pellet extruder productivity and the amount of fines produced. Correctly setting up the die on a wood pellet making machine will also increase the life of the roller and die, and reduce the cost of parts.
Wood Pellet Extruder - Die Template Rotation Speed
The speeds at which the roller and die turn affects the complex relationships during pellet compression. Some materials require a greater time under compression, and therefore, require a slower rotation speed. Also, the speed and torque requirements of the pellet extruder change.
Wood Pellet Extruder - Die Design and Metal Used
Many different forms of metal alloy are used to produce pellet mill die templates. Different metal alloys have specific advantages and disadvantages. Using the correct alloy is critical to reduce wear and increase production.
