Working Principle

Utilizes heavy-duty vertical flat die energy-saving direct-drive extrusion, integrating smart temperature control, heavy-duty transmission, and efficient cutting. Simple operation directly processes wet/dry materials in one pass.

  • Feeding Stage: Pretreated materials (dry moisture ≤16%, wet ≤35%; direct input for corn; crushing recommended for uniformity) enter the oversized inlet and are evenly distributed across the heavy-duty flat die by a smart feeding device. Speed is adjustable. First-time use requires running oil-mixed feed to adjust the roller-die gap (1.5-2.3mm) to prevent clogging, optimizing crude fiber processing.
  • Extrusion Stage: The motor (or diesel engine) drives the heavy-duty direct-drive system, rotating the flat die and rollers at high speed. Rollers extrude materials into the die holes under high pressure, forming continuous rod-shaped feed. A smart constant temperature system maintains 75-90℃, fully ripening materials to boost nutrient absorption and eliminate harmful microbes/parasites, ensuring safety. Moderate temperature rise retains maximum nutrition, ideal for crude fiber ripening.
  • Cutting & Discharging Stage: As the rod-shaped feed passes the oversized outlet, adjustable stainless steel heavy-duty cutters slice it into uniform lengths (5-25mm adjustable; >99% uniformity). Finished pellets discharge directly. Cool before storage to prevent mildew. Low moisture content (≤10%) facilitates bulk storage and long-distance transport for commercial orders.
  • Safety Assurance: Features a fully enclosed heavy-duty safety guard, emergency stop, and 4-layer protection (overload, shortage, over-temperature, leakage). Heavy-duty direct drive drastically reduces vibration and noise (≤60dB), ensuring a comfortable, oil-leak-free environment to prevent feed contamination. Built for 72-hour continuous heavy-duty operation.

Daily Maintenance & Precautions

Proper maintenance extends equipment lifespan, ensures stability, and boosts efficiency.

  • Pre-Use Inspection: Check power/diesel systems and transmission. Add heavy-duty lubricating oil. Inspect the roller-die gap and smart control system to prevent jamming, poor forming, or alarm failure. Focus on heavy-duty transmission components.
  • Feeding Precautions: Prevent stones or metal from entering to avoid damaging core components. Ensure proper moisture levels (dry ≤16%, wet ≤35%) to ensure optimal forming. Pre-crush high crude fiber materials to prevent clogging.
  • Operation Monitoring: Immediately power off (or shut down diesel engine) if abnormal noise, jamming, poor forming, or alarms occur. Troubleshoot before restarting; strictly prohibit live maintenance. Do not open safety guards during operation. For 72-hour continuous runs, check temperature, lubrication, and heavy-duty component wear every 6 hours.
  • Post-Use Cleaning: Use the high-pressure system to clear residues and wipe the machine to prevent mildew and corrosion. Before shutdown, process oil-mixed feed to maintain the flat die and prevent future clogging. Thoroughly inspect wear after prolonged continuous use.
  • Regular Maintenance: Replace worn or deformed rollers/dies promptly. Regularly add heavy-duty lubricant to the motor and transmission. For diesel/hybrid models, check fuel, oil, dual-engine coordination, and power switching flexibility regularly.
  • Power & Setup: Ensure compliant wiring (16mm² copper cable for 1-10m; 25mm² for 10-20m). Place stably on fixed heavy-duty support feet to minimize vibration. Ensure adequate ventilation for heat dissipation during heavy-duty continuous operation.
  • Restart & Storage: Start with small material amounts until temperature and smart systems stabilize before full-load operation. For long-term storage, clean thoroughly, apply anti-rust oil, store in a dry, ventilated area, drain diesel fuel, and check electrical/diesel maintenance.
