PELLETING

Pellet crumbler

The pellet crumbler is designed to crumble granules into crumbs, reducing the percentage of fines to a minimum. Depending on the capacity, it has 2 or 4 hardened cast iron rollers, with horizontal and vertical grooves, which rotate at high speed.

Design

Rollers

Each roller is individually driven by an electric motor and the transmission is by V-belts.

The roller adjustment system (forward-reverse) is carried out by means of a handwheel with damping springs and micrometric distance indicators.

Design

Bypass damper

Its configuration with independent motors and integrated bypass allows easy switching between work mode and straight through, optimizing flow and process efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a pellet crusher work?

The pellet falls onto a system of counter-rotating rollers that shred the pellet. The distance between rollers, which can be adjusted, determines the final size of the shredded product.

What is the difference between a manual and an automatic shredder?

The manual model allows roller opening to be adjusted by handwheels and mechanical indicators. The automatic model incorporates motors and electronic control for precise adjustment, more suitable for automated lines.

Is it possible to use the shredder only when needed?

Yes, it has a bypass system, which allows the product to be diverted without passing through the rollers when shredding is not required, facilitating flexible use without stopping production.

What type of rollers does a pellet crusher use?

Grooved steel rollers with special horizontal and vertical reliefs, designed for efficient pellet breaking without generating excessive dust.

How is product feeding controlled?

Through a feeder with frequency converter, which adjusts the speed according to the load, avoiding overloads and maintaining a constant flow of product.

What maintenance does a shredder require?

Regular cleaning, roller wear control, belt tensioning and verification of safety elements. Maintenance is simple if the established protocols are followed.
