Vertical Ring Die Pellet Machine
Vertical Ring Die Pellet Machine Overview
In a vertical ring die pellet machine, as the name implies, the ring die is positioned horizontally inside the machine and remains stationary. Unlike horizontal ring die pellet mills, the vertical ring die pellet mill utilizes a vertical feeding method. As the main shaft and rollers rotate, the material is evenly distributed against the inner wall of the surrounding die and extruded through the die holes.
Thanks to its unique vertical feeding method, the vertical ring die pellet machine is particularly well-suited for processing lightweight biomass raw materials such as wood chips, sawdust, wood shavings, straw, forage grass, rice husks, and palm fiber.
Richi Machinery, a professional vertical pellet machine manufacturer, currently offers various models of industrial vertical pellet machines with production capacities ranging from 1 to 10 tons per hour. Besides, we can also provide you with a detailed solution tailored to your needs.
Vertical Ring Die Pellet Machine Technical Features
This vertical ring die pellet machine features a unique vertical ring die structure. The core components of the industrial vertical pellet mill include the ring die pressure roller assembly, feeding device, transmission system, automatic lubrication, and cooling system. The quality of the workmanship and design of these components is crucial to the equipment’s high productivity, energy efficiency, and long-term operation.

01
Ring Die and Roller Assembly
Both the ring die and the pressure rollers are made of 42CrMo alloy steel and undergo carburizing and quenching treatments; this significantly enhances their wear resistance, making them ideally suited for processing coarse biomass fibers such as sawdust, wood shavings, rice husks, and palm fibers.

02
Gear Drive System
The gearbox delivers high torque, providing the vertical ring-die pellet mill with immense extrusion force to ensure material is smoothly pressed into the die holes. Meanwhile, the speed reducer utilizes hardened-tooth-surface gears that have undergone precision grinding, resulting in high load-bearing capacity.

03
Siemens Main Motor
A Siemens motor provides a high-quality, stable, and efficient power source for our industrial vertical pellet mill. It ensures high production output while maximizing energy efficiency and reducing electricity costs.

04
VFD Feeder
Our vertical ring die pellet machine comes with a variable-frequency feeding system that precisely controls the feed rate, effectively eliminating issues such as material clogging and idling. Additionally, the vertical feeding design prevents material bridging.

05
Lubrication System
Our industrial vertical pellet mill comes with a circulating thin-oil lubrication system that enables automatic lubrication of bearings and gearbox gears via PLC control.Additionally, the circulating oil flushes out dust or metal debris from the bearings.

06
Cooling System
We install an air-cooled extraction system capable of drawing away the hot, moist gases generated during the pelletizing process. In addition, the circulating oil lubrication system can also significantly reduce bearing temperatures, preventing shutdowns caused by overheating.
