Correct usage of a ring die

The article Correct usage and maintainance of a ring die by Mr. Wang Chao, Muyang Group is an interesting for the feed manufacturing practices. the author deeply narrate the Roller gap and Die maintenance . I will be highly obliged if the author throws light on the die maintanance for the following points: As the life of a die with the passage of time deteriorates with metal traps and grooves on the surface , at what stage we should grind the surface of die whether it depends upon number of bags produced by the die or thickness of die normally when the thickness of die reaches at 35 mm then it was broken into pieces

sir regarding the installation,we follow the clearance between the die and roller,but the result of our run test is not good,the raw materials mashed clogged on the die.the roller can not press hard so the output of pellet is so little...our die holes diameter is 4 mm. originally the clearance is zero but its okay it can run continuous.we use feeler gauge for measuring clearance.please advise.thank you

The clearance between the die and roller should be very small or the raw materials will generate adamant shell which prevent pellets generation and clog the die holes. So, just reduce the clearance between ring die and roller and don't touch each other directly. I hope it can help you.

More useful information is needed on the topic of "when to change the die with new one" and which of the raw materials are easy to pelletize

I have ring die pellet mill installed recently I am manufacturing sawdust pellets, I am not able to achieve desired length. Help
