In the process of pellet productions, there are many problems we need to handle with. Some severe problems need to ask professional technician to fix, while for small malfunctions problems we can figure out the cause and try to fix it with our own hands, which can also save some maintenance expense. Here we will offer some practical solutions for the malfunction phenomenon listed below.
Low production
Low production is very annoying, but there are some measures to improve it. Adding some oil material to lubricate the pellet mill is a good approach. You can see obvious enhancement after some time. Additionally, we can also regulate the moisture content of the raw material, adjust the screw bolt, pellet mill dies, and etc.
Coarse surface
Usually speaking, to due with this situation, the practical solution is to decrease the moisture content.
Abnormal noise
If you hear abnormal noise, there is definitely something wrong. When this phenomenon happens, it is better stop the machine to fix the problem. One frequent cause is that maybe there is hard impurity in the feedstock. Otherwise, the problem maybe exists in the machine. Check to see if the bearing is working well or other machinery parts are in good condition.
Sudden stop
The machine is probably overloaded. One solution is to expand the gap between rollers and dies. Another cause is that perhaps the power and voltage of the electrical motor is too low.
If the problem is still not fixed after adopting preliminary measures, then we need to ask the help from pellet mill maintenance worker.
