Flat Die Pellet Machine

Flat Die Pellet Machine Introduction

A Flat Die Pellet Machine is a common feed processing equipment used to compress powdered or granular feed raw materials into pellets of specific shapes and sizes. It mainly consists of a pair of symmetrically arranged press rollers and a die, which press the raw materials to form pellets within the die holes. The die of this type of pellet mill is generally flat, hence the name “flat die.” Flat Die Pellet Machine are widely used in livestock farming, poultry farming, aquaculture, and other fields to produce various types of feed pellets, such as poultry feed, cattle and sheep feed, and aquaculture feed. They are characterized by their simple structure, easy operation, and low cost, making them a common processing equipment in the feed processing industry.

Features of flat die pellet machine

Simple structure

Flat Die Pellet Machine typically consist of basic components such as press rollers, die, feeding device, and transmission system. The structure is relatively simple, making it easy to operate and maintain.

Easy operation

Due to the simple structural design, operating a flat die pellet mill is relatively easy and does not require complex skills, allowing operators to quickly adapt.

Wide applicability

Flat Die Pellet Machine can process various types of feed raw materials, including powdered and granular materials, suitable for producing multiple types of feed pellets.

Low cost

Compared to other types of pellet mills, Flat Die Pellet Machine have lower manufacturing costs and require relatively less investment, making them suitable for small to medium-sized farms or feed processing plants.

Moderate production efficiency

While flat die pellet machines may not match the production efficiency of ring die pellet mills, they are usually capable of meeting the production demands of small to medium-sized feed processing plants.

Suitable for home and farm use

Due to their simple structure and ease of operation, Flat Die Pellet Machines are also suitable for home or small-scale farm use, allowing users to process feed to meet the needs of animals.

High degree of customization

Flat Die Pellet Machines can be customized according to user requirements to produce feed pellets of different shapes and sizes, meeting specific production needs.

The structure of the flat die pellet machine

Press Rollers

These are cylindrical rollers that exert pressure on the raw material and the die to form pellets.

Die

The die is a flat plate with holes through which the raw material is forced to form pellets of desired shapes and sizes.

Feeding Device

This component is responsible for feeding the raw material into the pellet mill. It may include a hopper or a conveyor belt system.

Transmission System

The transmission system comprises gears, belts, or chains. It transmits power from the motor to the press rollers, enabling them to rotate and compress the raw material.

Frame

The frame provides structural support to the entire pellet mill assembly.

Motor

The motor provides the power required to drive the press rollers and the transmission system.

Cooling System (optional)

Some Flat Die Pellet Machines may feature a cooling system. This system is designed to lower the temperature of the pellets after formation, preventing them from sticking together.

Advantages of flat die pellet machine

Simple structure

A flat die pellet mill consists of a small number of simple components, making it easy to operate and maintain.

Wide applicability

Flat Die Pellet Machine are suitable for processing various types of feed raw materials, including powdered and granular materials.

Low energy consumption

Due to its simple structure, Flat Die Pellet Machines typically have lower energy consumption, saving energy costs.

Lower cost

Compared to ring die pellet mills, flat die machines have lower manufacturing costs, leading to reduced investment expenses.

Easy operation

Operators do not require complex skills and can easily master the operation of a flat die pellet mill, improving production efficiency.

Suitable for small-scale production

Flat Die Pellet Machines are usually suitable for small to medium-sized feed processing plants, meeting their production needs.

Personalized customization

Flat Die Pellet Machine can be customized according to customer requirements to produce pellets of different specifications and shapes.

Strong portability

Some mobile Flat Die Pellet Machines are easy to deploy and relocate, suitable for production in various sites.

Application of Flat Die Pellet Machine

Typically, the production of animal feed processing plant uses raw materials such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and other nutrients as the formula.  Our small feed mill plants are specially used to produce feed for poultry, livestock, pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, goose and other animals. For different animals, with different growth cycles, (chicks, suckling pigs, calves, etc.), the feed pellet size required is different, but our feed production line only needs to replace ring molds with different apertures or use a pellet crumbler to reach the required size.
