What Types Of Wood Pellet Machines Are There?

Horizontal Ring Die Pellet Making Machine
The horizontal Ring Die Pellet Making Machine is mainly used in the production of various kinds of pellets from biomass materials and other organic materials, such as animal feed pellet, seedling pellet, fish feed pellet and so on.
The machine consists of a fixed ring die, a moving ring die and a hydraulic system. The fixed ring die is located in the lower part of the machine and has multiple impression dies which are used to compress the biomass materials into pellets. The moving ring die is installed above the fixed one and also has multiple impression dies which can be adjusted according to customer requirements. A hydraulic system is used to drive these two rings to rotate at different speeds in order to squeeze out or extrude out materials from the impression dies by adjusting their relative positions during working process.

Flat Die Pellet Mills
Flat die pellet mills are pretty straightforward. Their components include four wheels, an upper cabinet, an engine base, a feed hopper, an electric motor, a gearbox, and others.
One reason why people enjoy using a flat die pellet mill is its adaptability. Thanks to this characteristic, its electric motor can be replaced with a diesel engine to make it a diesel pellet machine. Alternatively, its motor can be switched out for a PTO connector or gasoline engine.

Ring Die Pellet Mills
The ring die Wood Pellet Millis made up of a screw feed, electric motor, ring die, conditioner, gearbox, roller, pedestal, ring die, and discharge ports.
On a horizontal ring die machine, the ring die is vertically placed. Thus, when biomass drops from the conditioner, it is force-fed horizontally into the ring die.
Conversely, the vertical ring die machine has the ring die placed horizontally. Hence, the feed hopper is directly above the ring die, meaning biomass falls straight into it.

Vertical Ring Die Pellet Making Machine
Vertical Ring Die Pellet Making Machine is also called vertical Ring Die Pellet Mill, which is a kind of advanced equipment for the pellet making process. The Vertical Ring Die Pellet Making Machine is widely used in the field of industrial pellet making, such as chemical industry, food processing, construction material, medicine and so on. The principle of Vertical Ring Die Pellet Making Machine is to compress the raw materials by ring dies and then extrude them into pellets by continuous extrusion presses.
The Vertical Ring Die Pellet Making Machine has the characteristics of energy saving, high efficiency and low power consumption. The fuel consumption is about 1/4 compared with other machines. It is suitable for processing large size raw materials into small size granular materials (pellets).
