Flat Die Pellet Machines

Two types of flat die pellet machine
Flat die pellet mill can be classified into roller-turned type and die-turned type. The former one has its flat die installed on the main shaft. When the machine works, the flat die rotates and the roller keep still. The later one has the press roller installed on the main shaft. The roller rotates with the main shaft, while the flat die keep still.
Roller-turned type adopts more efficient structure. It has larger capacity and more durable gearbox. But Die-turned type is more small and portable, with lower cost. Of course, both of them are able to make high-quality pellets.

Advantages and weakness of flat die pellet machine
Flat die pellet mill has simple structure. It is small, light and portable. The cost is much lower than ring die pellet machine. It is easy to operate and maintain. You can observe the pelletizing process and solve any fault in time. So it is popular with farmers, home users, and small fuel production plant.

The flat dies are wearing parts, you need to replace it regularly. But it can be used with both sides. You can turn it over when one side has worn out. In this way you can extend their working life and reduce cost.
On the other hand, the moving distance are different in the inner and outer side of roller, which cause the slide of rollers and abrasion on the flat die. Currently, many flat die pellet machine adopt tapered roller to solve this problem.
