The size of pellet mill die sizes can vary depending on the specific requirements and materials being used. The hole diameter (D1) of the die typically ranges from 2.5mm to 10mm. The most popular sizes are 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm. The hole diameter is important as it determines the actual diameter of the pellet.
The effective length (E) of the die is the thickness of the die that actually performs work on the feed. The greater the effective length, the more compact the pellet will be.
The total thickness (T) of the die is the overall thickness of the die. This is important to provide the necessary die material to avoid breakage.
In addition to these measurements, there are other factors to consider when determining pellet mill die sizes. The working width (W) is the distance between the two inside edges of the die grooves. The die working area is the area inside the two die grooves.
The L/D ratio is the effective length (L) divided by the hole diameter (D). High L/D ratios provide high pellet die resistance as feed moves through the hole, while low L/D ratios provide low resistance.
The counter sink diameter is the diameter of the inlet where the feed enters the compression area of the pellet dies. Different configurations of the inlet can be used to achieve extra compression if needed for particular materials.
The inlet (well) depth is the depth of the countersink, which affects the compression of the feed.
Overall, the size of pellet mill die sizes can vary depending on the specific needs and requirements of the materials being used and the desired pellet size.
