| Door:The main door is manufactured entirely out of stainless steel, two knife assemblies are mounted on the main casing, allowing the door to open without altering the knife settings. |
| Safety devices: Standard safety device on the main door is interlocked with the rotation of the driven pulley; this prevents the door being opened while the machine is turning, safeguarding the operator. |
| Feed chute: Between conditioner and pellet chamber is a stainless steel feed chute. An inspection door with safety guard on the chute allows the operator to view and sample material from the conditioner. |
| Magnet: A permanent magnet is fitted in the chute to protect against ferrous metal entering the die. |
| Emergency dump: A safety panel is located on the front of the feed chute to eliminate a choke situation in the pelleting chamber protecting die and other components |
| Overload flap/by pass: The dump chute is fitted with a pneumatic piston with solenoid valve to allow product to bypass die. |
| Die holder/main rotor: Die holder is made of forged steel with a wear ring. It is mounted on the main shaft with two heavy-duty conical roller bearings the tolerances can easily be adjusted through the rear nut when required. The die holder is faced in stainless steel to guarantee long life. The die is bolted directly to the main rotor ensuring a robust design, the wear ring between die and rotor prevents wear of the rotor. This heavy-duty design results in high moment of inertia and an efficient and smooth pelleting action. |
| Pedestal: the pellet mill is built up on an heavy cast iron pedestal bolted directly to an integral sub frame practically eliminating vibration |
| Main shaft: The main shaft is mounted in the pedestal on bronze bushes. |
| Shear pin: To protect the machine and pellet chamber components, a shear pin is situated at the back of the machine, integral with the main shaft via a robust shear pin housing. A micro switch monitors this assembly. |
| Bearing protection: a labyrinth seal set-up (stainless steel) in addition to a secondary seal ring between main rotor and main shaft prevents dust penetrating into the bearings, while ensuring grease retention - ensuring long bearing life |
| Drive: The pellet mill is driven by a standard electric motor via a V-belt transmission. A secondary pulley is mounted on a countershaft between two separate supports protecting the main motor. Standard type 5V belts guarantee the efficient transmission of the main motor power and a quiet and smooth operation. There are 50% more belts than the design requires to ensure efficient power transfer and long belt life |
| Lubrication: Greasing can be carried out from the back of the pellet mill, through the main shaft. The machine can therefore be lubricated while in production. |
| Tools: All machines are supplied with a complete tool kit |
| NOTE : Front roller support, roll-adjusting levers, rotary feed cone are all zinc plated. |
| |
| Optional Extras |
| |
| Automatic lubrication system: |
Includes a grease pump driven by a 0.37 kW motor, grease tank with 15 kg capacity and rotary coupling for main shaft of the press. The pump can be filled from the bottom through a universal coupling complete with filter. Complete with electrical control panel to regulate grease |
| |
| IFM Belt slip monitor: |
| If the driven pulley speed decreases due to belt slip, the main motor is stopped, this protects the belts and main motor – this system can also be integrated into a press control system to optimise production.The control device includes a speed detector and a signal transmitter . |
| |
| Hydraulic die hoist: |
| Easy to operate hydraulic die and roll hoist allowing die and rolls to be safely presented to pellet mill, supplied with a die cradle and die clamp which also controls vertical alignment and a roll cradle. Manual winch mounted on pellet mill casing also available. |
| |
Rapid block: System designed to facilitate die change 10-20 Minutes depending on die size – ideal for installations where die is changed frequently. |
| |
| Automatic roll adjustment: Rolls can be adjusted 7-8mm to or from die surface from a designated control panel allowing quick and accurate roll adjustment during pelleting process |
| |
Compact version: Significantly reducing floor space required by positioning main motor above main rotor rather than to the side. |
| |
| Custom design: Our objective is to supply our customers with the design that best suits their needs this includes; machine specification, motor and door orientation, conditioner size and volume, feeder size and length, colour etc. |
