Ring Die Pellet Mill

The GM series Ring Die Pellet Mill is for middle or big sized pelletizing plant. The working principle of ring die pellet mill is as the following:
The process of pelleting consists of forcing a soft material through holes in a metal die plate to form compacted pellets which are then cut to a pre-determined size. The machinery related pellet press which has been developed for this purpose is very diverse in design now. There is much controversial point between different pellet press manufacturers on which type of pellet mill is the most effective. Now, most ring die pellet mills have one or more conditioning units mounted above them where liquids such as water can be added to improve pelletability. The water is sometimes added in the form of steam, resulting in firmer pellets produced.
Usually the ring die plate rotates itself, and on its outer-side stationary knives cut the pellets to a pre-set length. From there, they are transferred to a cooler or drier to remove the heat generated during the pelleting process or added during steam conditioning. The moisture content of the pellets also needs to be reduced for better storage after processing by ring die pellet mill.
