First you must prepare the material you wish to process, it must be in particles below 6mm and have moisture content below 15%. Its also important the material is consistent in its qualities, while a good pellet machine will mix the material it can only do so much. A quality pellet machine will have a hopper with a variable speed auger, which will feed material into the process at a very controlled rate. A good pellet machine will also mix the material, and add water and vegetable oil to alter compression if required. The design and quality of the rollers and die should not be understated, it’s everything. If the die has rough holes the die will block with material and no pellets will be made. If the die holes are smooth the process can begin, it must start slowly to build up temperature. Once up to operating temperature more material can be fed into the process.
