Whether it is wood pellet machine or feed pellet machine, as a product in great demand in the development of pellet machines, it plays an important role in different industry fields. However, due to their specific application in the production of wood pellets and crushed livestock feed, they differ significantly in several aspects.
First, the feeding methods are different. The mold of the wood pellet machine is laid flat with the mouth upward, and the sawdust enters the pelletizing mold directly from top to bottom. Since the specific gravity of sawdust is relatively light, the feeding method is linear motion. After the sawdust enters, it is thrown around by the rotation of the pressing wheel to achieve uniform particle suppression. The mold of the feed pellet machine is placed vertically, and the feeding method is from top to bottom.
Secondly, the suppression methods are different. The wood pellet machine mainly achieves compression through the rotation of the pressing wheel, and the mold remains stationary to avoid secondary fragmentation of the pellets. The feed pellet machine uses the rotation of the mold, and the pressure wheel remains stationary and rotates at high speed to increase production output.
There are also differences in equipment operation. The wood pellet machine adopts a vertical large shaft and a large cast steel bearing seat. The large shaft does not bear any pressure and has high durability and long life. During the pressing process of the feed pellet machine, the pellets will generate high temperatures due to extrusion.
In addition, the machine structure is also different. The pelletizing chamber of the wood pellet machine is open upward to facilitate heat dissipation, and is equipped with an air-cooled bag dust removal system and an automatic refueling device to improve performance and maintenance convenience. The pelletizing chamber of the feed pellet machine is a sealed structure.
To sum up, there are significant differences between wood pellet machines and feed pellet machines in terms of feeding methods, pressing methods, equipment operation and machine structures. These differences make them play their own unique application value in different industries. Wood pellet machines are mainly used in the wood processing industry to convert wood chips into usable wood pellet fuel. Feed pellet machines are widely used in the livestock breeding industry to crush livestock feed into pellet form to improve feed utilization and animal growth efficiency.
