Get everything ready for making pellets by pellets machine?
Have done the matter of conditioning properly?
Have you ensure the moisture percentage and bending quality?
Follow us, and find whether you have got everything done which can help producing qualified pellets by your pellets machine.
First of all, let's define what role the moisture percentage play in pellets making process.
Moisture Percentage: There are maximum and minimum moisture percentage tolerances for a pellets machine to produce pellets. However those tolerances are specific to the material in question, and the type of pellets machine used. As a general rule the most common average moisture content required for producing pellets is 15%.
Adjusting moisture percentage of raw materials for pellets machines:
Obviously if the material has a moisture percentage which is too high a dryer is required, or mixing the material with a drier raw material to reach an average moisture percentage of 15%.
If the moisture percentage is too low peristaltic pumps can be used to add water into the process at variable controlled rates. A peristaltic pump works on the principle of a rotating central cam, driven by an electric motor. As the cam turns it compresses the pipe, flow rates are dictated by the speed of the cam and speed adjustment is through changing voltage to the electric motor. Peristaltic pumps can also prime themselves from several meters away. Other pumps are used including diaphragm pumps.
