processes promote animal welfare and animal
health. Compacting feed into pellets provides
several advantages: In addition to improved
storage and economic transport, pelleting
particularly facilitates feed dosing. This ensures
that the animals receive the feed composition
they need.

PAN GRINDER ADVANTAGES OF

ROLLERS AND DIES KAHL FLAT DIES
Depending on the field of application, different hardening
processes are required, all of which are carried out in KAHL’s
own hardening shop for pan grinder roller and die production
Advantages offered by the machine

 High robustness
 Long service life and low wear
 Low consumption of operating materials
 Low lubricant requirement
 Low operating costs
 Fast and easy die change
 Low space requirement and footprint
 Low noise
 Large pelleting chamber for products with low bulk density
 Large pan grinder rollers with low circumferential speed
 Adjustable pressure due to hydraulic system and thus easier machine start
 Product feeding by gravity
 Low maintenance – remote diagnosis possible
 Axial face seals of the pan grinder rollers

Advantages for the products to be pelleted

Different pan grinder roller designs

 No lubricant in the product

 Highest flexibility for pelleting raw materials
 High pellet quality

Advantages offered by AMANDUS KAHL

 High vertical range of manufacture

Put an end to loss lubrication  Long-term service also after commissioning
and unwanted substances in
the feed: Thanks to the axial
 10 different pellet mill sizes for feed pellets
face seals used by KAHL,
lubricants do not penetrate
into feed pellets during
production.
