Working Principle

The 150 type feed pellet machine adopts the vertical flat die extrusion pelleting principle. The operation process is simple and efficient, requiring no complex steps. Dry materials are processed directly and formed in one go. The specific working process is as follows:

1. Feeding Stage: Pre-processed materials (primarily dry, moisture ≤14% optimal, no extra water needed; granular materials like corn can be fed directly, crushing recommended for uniformity) are fed into the hopper and evenly distributed on the flat die surface. For initial use, feed mixed with vegetable oil to adjust the roller-to-die gap (0.8-1.5mm). Process repeatedly several times before feeding normal materials to prevent die hole blockage.
2. Extrusion Pelleting Stage: The motor drives the gear transmission, rotating the flat die and pressure rollers at high speed. Rollers press materials into the die holes, forming continuous rod-shaped feed under high pressure. Natural heating to 70-80°C during pelleting achieves material maturation, improving nutrient absorption while killing harmful microorganisms and parasites, ensuring feed safety and hygiene.
3. Cutting & Discharging Stage: As formed rod-shaped feed exits, built-in cutter blades cut it into uniform lengths (adjustable). The cut pellet feed is discharged directly without extra processing. Finished pellets have a high temperature; spread them out to cool before stacking and storing to avoid mildew.
4. Safety Assurance: The machine is equipped with safety guards and an emergency stop button to prevent safety hazards during operation, ensuring stable and reliable performance. The gear drive design reduces equipment vibration and lowers noise, ensuring a comfortable operating environment while avoiding the safety hazards of belt drives, making it suitable for long-term continuous operation.

Daily Maintenance & Precautions

Proper maintenance and operation can extend equipment lifespan, ensure stable operation, and improve processing efficiency. Note the following for daily use:

• Before each use, inspect power and transmission parts, add adequate lubricating oil to ensure smooth operation. Check the gap between pressure rollers and the flat die to ensure it meets processing requirements, preventing material jamming or poor pellet formation.
• During feeding, avoid letting stones, metals, and other hard objects mix into raw materials to prevent damage to core components like rollers and dies. Corn and other granular materials can be fed directly, but crushing is recommended for pellet uniformity. Material moisture content should be controlled at around 14%; excessively high or low moisture will affect the forming effect.
• If abnormal noise, jamming, or poor pellet formation occurs during operation, immediately cut off the power and stop the machine. Troubleshoot before resuming use; operating with power on during inspection is strictly prohibited. Never open safety guards while the equipment is running to avoid accidents.
• After use, promptly clean residual materials inside the machine and wipe the exterior to keep it clean and dry, preventing moldy residues from corroding components. Before shutting down, run oil-mixed feed through the die holes to maintain the die, preventing blockages during the next use.
• Regularly inspect wearing parts like pressure rollers and flat dies. Replace them promptly if severe wear or deformation is observed to ensure pelleting quality. Periodically check transmission components like motors and gears, and add lubricating oil to prevent wear and extend equipment lifespan.
• Power wiring must comply with specifications. For a 1-10 meter distance, a 6 sq.mm copper core cable is recommended; for 10-20 meters, use a 10 sq.mm copper core cable to prevent safety and efficiency issues caused by mismatched specifications. Diesel models require regular inspection of fuel and engine oil to ensure normal operation.
• When restarting production, initially feed a small amount of material. Wait until the internal temperature reaches a certain level before running the machine at full load, preventing excessive load from affecting its lifespan.
