Flat Die Pellet Mill vs. Ring Die Pellet Mill β Detailed Comparison & Ranking π₯βοΈ
Ring Die
Flat Die
| Feature | Flat Die Pellet Mill π | Ring Die Pellet Mill π |
|---|---|---|
| π§ Design | Flat die with downward roller pressure | Rotating ring die with internal rollers |
| β‘ Capacity | Lower (50 kg/h to 1 TPH) | Higher (1 TPH to 5 TPH+) |
| π Power Consumption | Lower but less efficient | Higher but more energy-efficient |
| π― Pellet Quality & Durability | Medium, may have inconsistencies | β High-quality, dense, durable pellets |
| πͺ Biomass Compression & Density | Lower compression, soft materials only | π₯ High compression, suitable for all biomass |
| π‘οΈ Gross Calorific Value (GCV) Difference | Lower energy output | β Higher GCV, better combustion efficiency |
| π οΈ Lubrication System | Manual lubrication, frequent greasing | π Automatic pressurized oil lubrication |
| π‘οΈ Maintenance & Lifespan | More wear & tear, frequent replacements | β Low maintenance, longer lifespan |
| πΎ Raw Material Flexibility | Best for softwood, farm waste | π₯ Handles hardwood, industrial biomass, and difficult materials |
| π€ Automation | Mostly manual or semi-auto | β Fully automated, continuous operation |
| β οΈ Risk of Accidental Shutdown | Higher risk of jamming & breakdowns | β Very low risk, efficient operation |
| βοΈ Cooling System | No built-in cooling | β Integrated cooling system |
| π Industrial Suitability | Small-scale home & farm use | π Best for large-scale industrial & commercial production |
