How to prolong the functioning life of a pellet equipment?
Every equipment has a particular working life. It depends upon the wearing components. In terms of pellet machines, the using parts includes roller, die (ring die or flat die), bearing, and also gearbox, and so on the working life of a ring die is 800-1200 hrs, a flat die is 600-800 hrs, and a roller is around 1000 hrs. The working life is identified by the item high quality, yet also affected by your making use of routines. Correct usage and routine maintenance can prolong the working life of a pellet machine.

Feed the pellet machine with oil combination

Each time when you complete pellet production, feed oil blends (blended sawdust and used oil) to the pellet machine and let it operate for 1-2 mins, after that you can shut down the machine. After this procedure, the die holes are full of oil combination as well as won't get obstructed by the resources With this step, you can start making pellets directly the next time. It can not only conserve your time however additionally prolong the working life of the pellet machine.

Yet if you do not make use of the pellet machine for over 1 month, you 'd much better secure the oil mixture in the die, or they would get solidified as well as challenging to clean up. This is bad for later usage.

Control the purity of resources.
Prior to starting the equipment, make certain there is no contaminants in the feed receptacle. Yet do not put personal wood pellet mill into the receptacle when the pellet machine is running. If there is abnormal noise in the feed receptacle, you ought to close down the machine as well as eliminate the foreign matters, and start it again.

See to it there is no rocks, metals, huge wood blocks in the raw materials. Problem permitting, install a Tublar Magnet or a RCYB on the feed receptacle to avoid steels entering into the pellet machine. Besides, you can make use of an automated feeder to achieve consistent feeding, to ensure that the pellet manufacturing is extra smooth.

Control the wetness content
Usually, the dampness web content of raw materials need to be 10% -18%. If the wetness web content is also low, the raw products will be also tough. They will certainly boost the power consumption and also the abrasion of the pellet machine. On the other hand, resources with high dampness material are hard to grate, which will certainly enhance the abrasion of the hammer mill. Besides, The pressing and friction in the pellet mill will warm up the raw products as well as cause the dampness to vaporize. The vaporized wetness will certainly blend with the wood powders and obstruct the holes on the die, therefore reducing the pellet production.

Clean the components on a regular basis
The pelletizing process will certainly create a whole lot wood dirt, but the pellet equipment are generally not equipped with dirt protection gadget. richi machinery requires us to clean the roller, die, main shaft and bearing routinely. Clear up the sawdust in slots, gaps and screw holes, or they might create crack of the components.

If you do not use the pellet machine for long period of time, I recommend you to dispatch the elements and also clear up the pellets inside the die and the sawdust connected to the mold and mildew surface, incase they end up being stiff as well as difficult to eliminate. At the same time, the sawdust will certainly absorb water and also speed up the rust of the elements.

Oil the roller, shafts and also transmission
Prior to the very first time use, add lubricate oil to the transmission, shafts and bearings. In day-to-day use, you must oil the roller as well as major shaft on a daily basis, and lube the gearbox every a half year. If the roller is short of oil, it will certainly trigger damages to the bearing as well as roller shaft, even break down the pellet machine.

Pick appropriate size of die
The hole size of the die is from 2.5-10mm, and also the 4mm, 6mm and also 8mm is one of the most popular. The dimension of die is established by the raw materials. If the holes are undersized, the pellet yield will certainly be low and also even no pellets coming out. On the other hand, they will boost the pressure in between the roller as well as die and shorten the functioning life of the pellet equipment. So you require to consult the sales to select a suitable die

Change the clearance in between the roller and die.
The roller and die (level die or ring die) is the core part of the pellet machine. Their clearance influence the pelletizing effect and the working life. The ideal clearance is in between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm. If the clearance is larger than 0.3 mm, the raw material layer will certainly be too thick and decrease the pellet yield. If the clearance is less than 0.1 mm, the abrasion of the roller and also die will certainly increase, and also affect the functioning life.

In flat die pellet machine, there are adjusting nuts on the 2 sides of the machine body. Tighten them up as well as screw back for 15 -30 . Maintain both screws in balanced placements. Then, you can secure the lock bolts. In ring die pellet machine, make sure the clearance in between each side of the roller and the ring die is the same. In other words, the roller as well as ring die must in the same axis, in case the eccentric roller reason abrasion to the ring die.

Area the pellet machine in completely dry locations
To protect the pellet machine from wet, we require to put the pellet machine in a clean, dry as well as aerated setting. The metal parts are very easy to obtain corrosion under moist condition, as well as the electrical motor will have shortcut or electric leakage. These will reduce the functioning life of the pellet machine.
