PELLET MILL
TYPE PM30
The unique PM30 pellet mill of a robust and easy-to-maintain design for high
performance and low operating costs is made especially for very demanding wood
pelleting tasks.
The PM30 pellet mill is equipped with a highly efficient
double-reduction gearbox, allowing optimum die speeds
to be achieved at high working loads.
The pressurized gearbox oil lubrication system with air-
cooling is standard.
The high-speed belt drive transmission between main
motor and gearbox provides a vibration-free transmission
of power to the gearbox.
The pellet chamber door is a heavy-duty unit mounted on
a motorized frame for easy access to the pellet chamber.
The inner side of the pellet chamber door is provided
with replaceable stainless steel protection plates.
The distribution of the product to the press rolls is
achieved by separate inlet screws, one for each press
roll, mounted on the pellet chamber door.
Taper fit die
The pellet mill has an operation-friendly conical, bolt-
suspended die of high-quality steel. The auto-piloting
effect makes die change smooth and easy. Once the die
has been aligned with the housing, only the final three
millimetres require full power torque on the die bolts
to complete the press fit. The die is symmetrical and
turnable.
Replaceable wear rings
The die main shaft and the reinforcement ring are
supplied with replaceable wear rings.
Press roll design
Wide rolls with turned edges and a narrow track width

are supplied with sturdy spherical roller bearings to
withstand heavy loads. The roller shaft, suspended at both
ends, is supplied with symmetrically placed water cooling
channels and thermo-sensor for temperature surveillance
of roller bearings. Roll adjustment is checked through
inspection hatches.
Safety stop
The shear pin system integrated with the roll adjustment
spindle protects the shaft against damage from seizing
due to tramp metal. A safety switch stops the mill via the
control, when the shear pin breaks, and the roll is thrown
back.
Compact profile
Small footprint makes the mill easy to fit into any facility.
Built-in hoist
The built-in hoist with lifting tools facilitates the change of
die and rolls.
Optional accessories
• Automatic grease lubrication system for press roll
bearings and roller main shaft bearing.
• Pt100 temperature sensors mounted in two press rolls
for remote reading of roll temperatures.
• Water cooling of roller shaft.
• Conditioner with steam addition provides optimum
retention time for specific capacity requirements.
• Computerized control system for process optimization.
