LM Company profile LM Company profile

La Meccanica has been operating in the animal feed,
fertilizer, bio-energy and recycling sectors for more than
fifty-five years.
Precision and quality in our work, are two characteristics that
have always distinguished the company, both then and now. La
Meccanica started producing spare parts and dies for the animal
feed industry in 1961.
Currently La Meccanica employs approximately 70 people (50 in
production) and the factory has a surface area of around 10,000 m2.
Experience and seriousness in the production of dies, rolls
and shells guarantee customer satisfaction.
La Meccanica manufactures more than 2500 dies a year for all
main brands of pellet mills or according to hole patterns of customer
specification. It supplies rollers shells and spareparts as well.
Our fully automated, fully equipped production plants use avant-
garde technologies and produce dies which are exported
worldwide.

Design and production are performed in-house, ensuring direct,

real-time control over quality.

Our company works mainly in the following sectors:

• feed production
• mills
• biomass
• recycling
• dehydrators
• sugar factories
• oil production plants
• plants working organic and organic-mineral fertilizers

Over the years La Meccanica has become specialized in the

construction of pellet mills.
Besides this production La Meccanica designs and manufactures
machinery and plant projects. Over the years La Meccanica has
become specialized in the construction of pellet mills.

At presentmore than 1500 La Meccanica pellet mills have been

installed and the company has an excellent standing all over the
world. Today 14 different models of pellet mills are manufactured,
with power ranging from 7.5 kW to 355 kW.

The advantages of using the vertical mill are: • Main drive has a hydraulic coupling, with built in torque overload and v-belt drive transfer.
• Reduced electricity consumption: when compared to horizontal hammer mills with the same capacity, energy • The heavy duty compression screw is constructed out of several sections on a single shaft, increasing shear action.
consumption is on average 25% lower. • The die assembly can be hydraulically turned/disconnected from the machine for easy access.
• Limited air flow: it is not necessary to have a specific suction line for the mill in the grinding chamber. This results in • The die aperture is hydraulically controlled allowing operator to increase/reduce compression/shear action and the
significant energy savings and limited product moisture loss during the grinding stage. extrusion/molding of final product remotely.
• Screens and hammers, parts subject to wear, are hooked to make their replacement really easy. • Variable speed knife arrangement, with independent drive, to determine crumb size and ensures uniform product size.
• The grinding chamber is easy to clean and inspect. • Through the length of the expander we can add steam under high pressure. It’s possible due to many special injectors.
• The mill is fitted with a dispenser with stone and metal removal system. • Numerous injection points allow high-pressure steam, and additional liquids, to be added along the length of the

• The motor and impeller are connected with a flexible coupling. • Automatic control - allows operator to preset parameters and system can fine tune accordingly.
