It is very important to control die-roller clearance correctly. Too small

clearance will severely wear rollers and die, too large clearance will affect
the output and even pelleting effect.
Generally clearance should be 0.05-0.3mm. Clearance between new die
and rollers can be measured with feeler gauge. If adjusting the clearance
during ordinary production, control clearance to the following manner:
when turning die with hands, rollers rotate intermittently and just touch the
die through visual inspection.
For new die, clearance should be smaller. After clearance adjustment,
tighten the related nuts and screws and replace the feed cone in the
reverse sequence to that previously described. Make sure that the retaining

nuts and lock screws have been tightened to avoid looseness and damage
to the machine during operation.

Open the pellet chamber door, loosen the fastening bolts of the feed
cone (See Figure 1), hold two handles of feed cone tightly with hands, turn
the feed cone clockwise, thus feed cone can be removed. Then clear away
the accumulated material on the inside surface of die (1) and surface of
rollers (3), loosen lock screws (2) and retaining nuts (6) twist the adjusting
screw (7) so as to make the roller adjusting quadrant (10) turn. Clearance
becomes smaller when making adjustment in the arrow direction of the
roller adjusting gear, and clearance becomes bigger when making
adjustment in the opposite direction. If adjustment cannot be made in the
shown direction, it means rollers are mounted wrong and must be mounted
again. It is vital rolls are adjusted counter-clockwise to close the gap.
