In-depth Analyze Flat Die Pellet Machine
There are two types of pellet machine, one is a flat die pellet machine, and the other is a round die pellet machine. The flat die pellet machine came first, and the round die was invented later. Generally flat die pellet machines are used for small to medium-scale pellet production and round die pellet machines are used for medium to large-scale pellet production.

Advantages of Flat Die Pellet Machine:
Flat die pellet machines are generally easier to clean than round die pellet machines. Quick access to the pellet machine chamber means faster die and roller changes, which mean more time in production. The compact design of the flat die pellet machine means small, lightweight models are available, making them more suitable for small-scale production. Another key advantage of the flat die pellet machine is visibility. If a material is producing poor-quality pellets or no pellets at all, viewing the material during the pellet process can give the best information on the reason why and how to correct it. With many flat die pellet machines it is possible to view into the pellet machine chamber during the pellet process. Others have quick access doors to view into the chamber. Finally flat die pellet machines are regarded as been more robust for pelleting problematic feedstock. Therefore, flat die pellet machines have a wider material tolerance than round die pellet machines.

Disadvantages of Flat Die Pellet Machines: 
Due to the principles of the flat die pellet machine, it can result in uneven roller and die wearing. As the rollers rotate across the die surface the inner and outer edges of the roller are covering different distances. The outside edge covers a greater distance than the inner edge, which means the rollers slip. This slipping action can cause increased wear. However, this is not always the case, and some flat die pellet machines have tapered rollers to correct the problem.
