Comparison between Die-turned and Roller-Turned Pellet Mills

As we all know, pellet mills can be divided into two main groups: ring die pellet mill and flat die pellet mill. Small pellet mil usually refers to flat die pellet mill. And flat die pellet mill can also be divided into two main groups: die-turned and roller-turned, briefly called D-type and R-type. These two kinds of flat die pellet mills both have a die that is horizontal with a series of rollers above it. And when making pellets, powders of the raw material fall into the area between the die and the rollers, and the rollers will compress these powders into the small holes in the flat die to form pellets.
Structural Comparison between D-type and R-type Flat Die Pellet Mills
For the D-type flat die pellet mill, the rollers are stationary and the flat die can rotate. When making pellets, the die rotates to move raw material powders under the rollers to be pressed into the small holes of the flat die.

As for the R-type, the die is stationary while the rollers rotate when making pellets. The powders of the raw material fall directly into the area between the die and the rollers. As rotating, the rollers push and compress the powders into the die’s holes to form pellets. And as for this process, the pushing plates beside the rollers ensure that the raw materials are evenly distributed and compressed by the rollers. 
Comparison of Pellets Made by D-type and R-type Flat Die Pellet Mills
Generally speaking, the pellets made by R-type flat die pellet mill have higher density and smoother surface. And thanks to the above merits, these pellets are very suitable for selling in the market. 
As to the pellets made by the D-type flat die pellet mill, most of them are widely applied in the home and individual uses. Of course, they can meet your daily needs for heating, warming and other common usages.

Flat Die Pellet Mill (D-type and R-type)
Flat die pellet mill, also called small pellet mill, homemade pellet mill, is widely used in small scale pellets production.
