Applicable scenario analysis

  • The feed pellet machine is mainly suitable for feed processing plants, farms, and animal husbandry production enterprises, and is used to produce various animal feed pellets
  • Wood pellet machines are more suitable for biomass energy production, wood processing enterprises, and biomass power plants, used to convert waste wood, sawdust, and other materials into biomass fuel pellets.

Overview of working principle

  • . Flat die feed pellet machine, the matirix rotates to drive the rollers to rotate, and the feed raw materials are subjected to the rotating extrusion pressure of the rollers and the matrix, extruded through the mold hole, and formed into pellets.The pressing process is relatively simple and has high production efficiency.
  •  the wooden pellet machine mold is fixed, and materials such as wood chips are squeezed by the rollers in the mold, forming through the mold hole. Due to the different physical properties (such as density, hardness, etc.) of wood chips compared to feed materials, the pressing process may be more complex and the production efficiency may be lower.

Differences in structure and appearance

  • Feed pellet machines usually focus more on the uniform mixing of raw materials and the shaping effect of pellets, so in structural design, they may pay more attention to the feeding, mixing, and extrusion processes of raw materials.
  • The wood pellet machine needs to withstand greater extrusion pressure and harder materials, so it will have higher requirements in terms of mold durability, pressure roller strength, etc. For example, the mold holes may be designed smaller to increase compression ratio and extrusion force; The roller may use thicker metal or stronger materials to improve its load-bearing and torque transmission capabilities.

Comparison of performance characteristics

  • Feed pellet machines usually handle softer materials, have higher production efficiency, and can quickly process large amounts of feed raw materials. It is directly driven by the motor.
  • The wood pellet machine needs to process high-hardness wood raw materials and may use a more efficient transmission system, such as a reducer or gearbox, to transmit the rotational power of the motor to the rollers. These transmission systems can optimize power transmission and improve torque utilization to ensure sufficient squeeze force.

Maintenance and maintenance suggestions

Due to the differences in working principles and performance characteristics of the two machines, their maintenance and care methods will also be different.

  •  The focus of maintenance and upkeep of the feed pellet machine is to keep the matrix and pressure rollers  clean and lubricated, and to regularly check each wear of components.
  • For wood pellet machines, in addition to keeping the mold and rollers in good condition, special attention needs to be paid to cleaning the wood chips and dust inside the machine to prevent clogging and wear.

Overall, although both the flat die feed pellet machine and the flat die wood pellet machine use flat die technology to manufacture pellet products, they have significant differences in working principles, structural design,performance characteristics,applicable scenarios, and maintenance. Therefore, when choosing which machine to purchase, it is necessary to make decisions based on one’s actual needs and scenarios.
