apparatus.

① It is forbidden to use any flashlights or other lamps without guard or explosion-proof glass.

② It is forbidden to use any lengthen cable or electric furnace.

③ Repair or replace the electric apparatus immediately if any fault occurs.

④ Cables without protect-pipe are not allowed to be installed on the floor.

⑤ Cut off the power supply of the machine after work.

⑥ An electrician should be assigned to check the insulation of all the electrical network cables

1-9
 according to the corresponding regulations, at least once a year.

⑦ To prevent the generation of electrostatic spark, machine must be grounded. In the

meanwhile, the total leakage resistance of all components shall be less than 106Ω.

⑧ Connection of power supply

a) The regulations of local safety department shall be obeyed. Such as install the circuit

brake for circuit protection on the power cable according to the local regulations.

b) Check whether the working voltage and frequency of the machines are in accordance

with the required data on the nameplate of the machine and the control cabinet.

c) Guarantee the connections of all the power supplies for control system follow the

schematic diagram, such that the single-phase power supply can control the phase line

for sure.

(4) Smoking and welding

visiting guests, customers, foreigners and drivers, etc.

② If the tools such as welding machine or soldering lamp (flame soldering lamp), etc. are

required for repair or installation, try to arrange these jobs to be performed in special

workshop or on a special site.

③ If it is necessary to perform welding or similar jobs directly in production area or storehouse,

written applications must be submitted to a related supervisor in advance for written

approval. The above operations can be carried out only when special measures are taken,

such as laying water soaked canvas or special canvas for covering on the surrounding area,

also fire extinguishers need to be prepared. After completion of the operation, the welding

site and the surrounding area are to be monitored for at least 10 hours.

④ The ejected welding metal-bead during gas cutting is extremely dangerous, for they can

travel through narrow gaps of walls and fall downstairs or to the next room, or even flow off

10 meters away. Fire accidents may occur any time if this metal-bead falls into dust.

⑤ Welding if prohibited on a running conveyor. If this job has to be performed, the machine

needs to be shut down, do a deep clean, and isolate both sides of the welding site tightly

with material like mineral wool to avoid connecting with other conveying devices, silos or
1-10
 tanks. If this work needs to be carried out on chutes or conveying pipes, one must

disassemble them or divert their lower ends and seal them to avoid welding metal-bead

enters the conveying pipes or silos.

(5) Electrostatic effect

① Avoid from having spark discharge explosion to guarantee the safety of electric circuits.

② Paint coating at the electric connections must be removed.

1.9 Other attention points (environmental protection measurements)

If one decides not to use this machine anymore after it has been functioned for certain period

(approximately 8 - 10 years), the measures for environmental protection and reutilization should be

considered.

1. Open the front door;

2. Clean the pelletizing chamber, check the feeder and conditioner;

3. Check the installation condition for ring die and the proper adjustment for press rollers. Pay

attention to the gap between press rollers and ring die;

4. Fill lubricating oil according to section 6.3.2;

5. Start up the feeder motors for feeder and the conditioner without load to check if the rotation

direction is correct and there is any noise; and then shut them down when the feeder operates
5-1
 at low speed.

6. Start up the main motor. Firstly check and ensure that all the pellet mill components are

operating correctly; check and ensure the ring die rotates clockwise from front view. Then

inspect the contact condition between the press rollers and the inner surface of rind die, which

should rotate smoothly. `

7. Check the steam system. The pressure for the steam enters conditioner should be 0.1~0.4MPa.

If there exist jacket, the steam pressure enters the jacket should be within 0.1MPa.

5.3.2 Pelletizing

To start up a new pellet mill or the pellet mill with new installed ring die, the following procedures

should be followed:

1. Star up the main motor of pellet mill.

2. Feed certain amount of oily coarse mash to the inlet of the pellet mill manually, and continue

feeding until feed pellet is formed. This is the primary lubrication for the ring die before

normal production.

3. Start up the main motor of conditioner.

4. Start up the feeder motor, adjust the frequency converter to low frequency and let the feed

enters conditioner slowly. Do not add any steam in the beginning of pelletizing. Increase the

feeding speed slowly according to the current of main motor.

5. Open the steam valve a little, then increase the feeding rate until the pointer of ammeter is

falling; when the ammeter`s pointer of the main motor reaches the normal load, add steam amount to

allow the ammeter`s pointer to fall back. Repeat this procedure until the maximum output and the best

quality of pellet are obtained under the rated load.

6. See Fig. 5-1 for pellet pressing process. The feeding amount and steam supply are different

depending on the different types of ring dies and formulas, which results different pellet

qualities. So that the operator should be rick in operating experience.

1. Turn off the steam control valve of pellet mill.

2. Cut off the feeder motor.

3. Keep the pellet mill running until no pellet is produced.

4. Shutdown the conditioner motor.

5. If the machine needs certain time to be stopped, for instance, during the end of working day,

oily mash material can be fed into the manual-feeding inlet after working until the pellet is

formed. As such, it is convenient for the ring die to start up next time.

6. Shut down the main motor when it stopped extruding oily pellet.

5.4 The countermeasure of pellet mill

In order to ensure normal and safe operation, the following safety countermeasures should be

obeyed.

5.4.1 Overload protective device

1. Safety switch 2.Shear pin 3.Washer 4.Shear pin plate

Fig. 5-2 Shear pin type overload protective device

This machine is equipped with an overload protective device associated with shear pin and limit

switch on the main shaft end (see Fig. 5-2). When hard impurities enters the pelletizing chamber or

when the material flow rate is too high with unstable steam flow, the pressure between rollers and ring

die will exceed the normal working pressure. The roller will drive main shaft to rotate since rollers are

installed on the main shaft and the ring die is installed on the rotor. When the torque of the main shaft

exceeds the normal design value, shear force on the safety pin exceeds its limit; the shear pin is sheared

off. At this time, limit switch stops the motor of pellet mill and the shutdown the machine.

5.4.2 Pneumatic emergency discharge

A by-pass is provided at the conical feeding inlet, see Fig.5-3. When the feed enters ring die too

fast, it will cause accumulation in the pelletizing chamber and increase the load of motor. Under such

condition, the by-pass will be automatically opened via the pneumatic system, and the feed will be

discharged through the by-pass. When the motor load returns normal, the by-pass will be closed

automatically and the whole system will continue operating normally.

there exist the risk for breaking bearings and gearbox. If different brands need to be used, it must have

the capability to replace the old ones completely, and clean the old lubricating oil in the gearbox

completely before use the new one.

For the first three months or after 500 hours operating of the gearbox, the lubricating oil needs to

be drained and cleaned completely, replace the filter, clean the scrap iron on magnetic separating

device and then fill in with new lubricating oil.

Except the gearbox, which uses integrated lubricating system for lubricating, grease lubrication

are conducted for other rotational components, see Fig. 6-1.

Due to the facts of heavy load, strong vibration, high temperature and corrosive working

environment with pellet mill, the selection of lubricating oil and grease must have proper lubricating

properties to adapt the working features of pellet mill.

1. Lifting beam 2.Lifting devices for roller 3.Roller

Fig.6-5 Installation and disassembly for roller

Ring die does not need to be dismounted when dismounting the two rollers from pellet mill, but

the gap between rollers and ring die needs to be adjusted to the maximum. It is easier to dismount

rollers if dismounting ring die first.

（1）Dismount roller assembly from the machine:

① Cur off the power supply, adjust the cutters far away from ring die and open the pellet mill

access door.

② Loosen 8 bolts on rotary feeding cone and dismount the rotary feeding cone.

③ Loosen the locknuts of press rollers.

④ Adjust the rollers away from ring die as far as possible.

⑤ Dismount the locking bolt of front support

6-11
 ⑥ Dismount the front support assembly of press rollers.

⑦ Install the ring die lifting devices on the lifting beam and fix the lifting devices onto the

outer end of press rollers eccentric shaft. Then extract lifting beam and the press roller will

be dismounted from the pellet mill.

（2）Install the roller assembly onto the pellet mill:

① Before lifting the press rollers, thoroughly clean the holes of main shaft disc and the conical

column end of eccentric shaft.

② Use the lifting beam, which is installed with roller lifting devices, to lift roller to the

corresponding position and slide the roller into the main shaft holes.

③ Turn the roller counterclockwise until it touches the ring die.

④ Repeat the above procedures for installation of another roller.

⑤ Clean the two installation holes on front support assembly, and set them onto the eccentric

shaft of two rollers. The two press rollers need to be at same see level.

⑥ Install two adjustors and lock bolt for the rollers. Leave the lock bolt unlocked.

⑦ Adjust the rollers to corresponding positions according to the section "Adjustment of the

gap between press rollers and ring die".

⑧ Re-install the rotary feeder cone.

⑨ Close the main access door of ring die pellet mill.

（3）Gap adjustment of press roller

The correct gap adjustment of press roller is very important, it concerns to whether the pellet mill

can function normally and the service life of roller and ring die. Generally speaking, the gap in press

rollers should be controlled within 0.2 ~ 0.5mm. At this time, the roller can only touch the high spots

of ring die when the ring die is running at a low speed.

Fig.6-6 Gap adjustment schematic

Adjustment procedures:

① Loosen the lock bolt of front support assembly.

② Adjust the lock bolt on the front support, which is 4 in Fig.6-6 (a), to make the roller move

closer to the ring die counterclockwise. In the meanwhile, runt the ring die and roller for

one circle. It is better to make the highest spot of inner surface of ring die contacts with that

of the outer surface of press roller slightly, and then lock the lock bolt on the adjusting

screw of press roller.

③ If the adjusting screw has reached its limited position during adjustment, but the gap

between roller and ring die is not adjusted properly yet. It is necessary to dismount the

adjustor, which is 5 in Fig.6-6 (a), turn it to another position, re-install and continue the

adjustment.

④ Adjust another roller by following the same procedure.

⑤ Fasten the lock bolt of press roller.

（4）Suggestion

① The press rollers are to be adjusted in accordance with materials. For instance, the gap

between the roller and ring die can be slightly larger when the material has high content of

corn or easy to be pressed.

6-13
 ② Die holes are sealed during pressing when the roller are too tight when ring die with small

holes is used. This implies that current ring die cannot function anymore, and re-expanding

the die holes must be performed.

③ If the ring die works for a long time, it is required to check the degree of wear and the

corresponding locations. Adjust roller position if necessary.

④ In addition, adjust the roller if the following phenomena are observed: decrease of output

capacity, increase of main motor current or material plugging, etc.

（1） Clean the surface of roller and ring die completely during adjustment.

（2） Ensure the roller move closer to the ring die counterclockwise, otherwise the ring die

and roller may stuck and results in heavy losses.

（3） Repeat the above procedures to re-adjusting if the roller is found too tight or too lose

after the machine is running.

（4） Regularly check the lock bolt of roller if a ring die has been used for a long time and

not changed, to avoid looseness, for example, check it once/four shifts.

6.5.4 Ring die driving rim

The gap inspections of ring die in driving rim (Fig.6-8).

The service life of ring die driving rim has a lot to do with the load and quality of ring die.

It indicates that the driving rim or hoop has already been worn when the ring die slot is squashed or

cracked during the operating of machine. For the safety consideration, the broken driving rim or hoop

should be replaced immediately.

pressure for lubrication.

Must ensure the lubrication oil pump sucking oil and generate certain pressure.

It is recommended to connect the motor for lubrication oil pump first, to make it run before the

startup of main motor.

② Cold start

To prevent the cavitation and overload of oil pump, the viscosity of the oil should be controlled

under 2000cSt at startup temperature.

During startup, if the by-pass valve is included in the system, it will op when the lubrication oil

temperature is too low and the oil pressure is above the pre-set value. The valve will

automatically close when the lubrication oil temperature becomes stable.

6-16
 The temperature of gearbox will increase rapidly after startup, the pressure control valve closes

and lubrication oil flows through filter and cooler normally.

③ Oil heater (optional)

Oil heater contains a resistance element located in the oil case. It is tightened on the side cabinet

of the gearbox. It can be loosened for cleaning, but the lubrication oil must be drained

completely for such operation.

④ Operation temperature

The maximum allowable operation temperature for gearbox is: 80℃, which is measured on the

bearing cap of gearbox.

（2）Monitoring and maintenance

① Monitoring the pressure of lubrication system

When the press gage 10 shows the lubrication pressure is with 0.8 ~ 2.5bar of lubrication system

at certain operation temperature, the gearbox is lubricated sufficiently. The oil pressure is

determined by pipe design and operation conditions.

Pressure switch 8 is opened when the oil pressure of the system increases to 0.7bar/10psi, and

pressure switch is closed when the pressure decreases to 0.5bar/7.2psi.

② Pressure safety valve

Lift the startup lever on top of the valve in order to check the function of maximum pressure

valve.

③ Temperature monitoring

Use temperature monitor to determine equipment operating condition. The temperature monitor

controls oil temperature to avoid gearbox from having overheating.

The temperature monitor warns first time when the oil temperature is above 70℃; warns second

time and shutdown the pellet mill motor when the oil temperature is above 80℃.

④ Control of filter

Filter impurities indicator 5 warns when the pressure increases to 1.0bar/14.5psi in filter.

When the filter is blocked, the red-hump zone is enlarged of visual impurities indicator, which

returns to normal position when the filter core is replace.

The pressure will reach to 1.6bar/23.5psi, if the filter is blocked. The by-pass valve will open and

6-17
 oil is not going to flow through filter, which will result abnormal operation of the gearbox

lubricating and cooling system.

Note: Replace the filter in scheduled time or after the impurities indicator warns. See lubrication

system manual for details.

（3）Connection of pressure lubrication system

The installation of pressure lubrication system must follows the manual. It is recommended that

all the electric indicators connections obey the normally-closed principle.

① Illustration of set point

1. Set point for pressure switch 8:

Pressure increases at 0.7bar; decrease at 0.5bar. This has already been set before delivery.

2. Set points for temperature switch (two separate switches for selection) are 70℃ and 80℃.

3. Differential pressure open point is 5bar for by-pass valve in cold start (optional for pressure

lubrication system with cooler)

② Startup of lubrication system

Ensure the following items before start the lubrication system:

When the oil temperature is above 5℃, fuel charge reaches the scale of glass oil level gauge or

dipstick.

③ Startup of pellet mill

1） Start the pellet mill when the following items are satisfied:

1. Oil pump operates normally of lubrication system;

2. Oil pressure is above 0.7bar (After 10 ~ 15 seconds of lubrication system started, continuous

signals is obtained from pressure switch 8);

3. Oil temperature lower than 70℃ (low temperature limited switch, optional configuration) or

60℃

2） Warns when following situations happen:

1. Oil pressure is below 0.5bar or

2. Oil temperature is above 70℃ or

3. Filter blockage (electric or visual impurities indicator)

3） Shut down of pressure lubrication system

6-18
 The motor cannot be shut down before pellet mill stops completely.

Stop the pellet mill in 2 minutes if the following situations happen:

1. Oil pressure is below 0.5bar for more than 30 seconds or flow indicator (component 12,

optional) warns;

2. Oil temperature over 80℃.

④ Oil cooling plate

In the air-cooled oil cooler, the air input amount usually is controlled by temperature switch

(measures the oil temperature enters gearbox, switch point is50℃). Contactor must be used to

connect temperature switch.

⑤ Filter monitoring

Replace or clean the filter immediately when electric or visual impurities indicator warns. For

cold start, it is recommended to use 15 minutes delayed protective device to avoid from having

unnecessary warnings.

⑥ Startup of pressure lubrication

1. Oil charge reaches the scale of glass oil level gauge or dipstick. Add more lubricating oil after

lubrication pump is started in order to ensure the constant oil level. Add lubricating oil even

more if needed.

2. Let pellet mill operate for 20 ~ 30 minutes and open the check cover to see if the inner coils

are running normally. Contact Jiangsu Muyang Holdings immediately once problems are found.

The working principle and operation procedures of the control box are described below:

Commissioning process:

First make sure that all the preparations for production are done and all the electrical wiring jobs

are completed.

Then close the circuit breakers one by one.

Release the emergency stop key SB00.

Normal startup process:

Start the oil pump and fan motor first, wait until they run steady. Then start the main motor of

pellet mill by triggering the startup button XB2 SR.

If the working current of pellet mill main motor exceeds rated value, or increase rapidly in rated

current zone. Shutdown the feeder motor, and make by-pass solenoid valve powered on by switching

over SB0. Thus, the by-pass can be opened and the material can get through to decrease the motor

load of pellet mill. When the main motor load decreases within 50% of the rated value, the feeder can

be re-started and add the feeding rate slowly.

Shutdown process:

Shutdown the feeder first and then stop the conditioner after 10 minutes. Shut down the main

motor when the working current of main motor drops into the range of no-load current. About 10

minutes after the main motor stops, shutdown the oil pump and fan motor and cut off the main power

supply.

Current leakage, current blockage, machine blockage or excessively overload handling:

Push the emergency stop button immediately to avoid injuring or motor burnout.

（4）Roller shell

① The roller shell is made of wear-resistance alloy by metal machining and heat treatment.

② The tooth surface pattern on roller shell has a certain effect on pelletizing performance.

③ Jiangsu Muyang Holding mainly manufactures the roller shell with three types tooth surface

patterns: honeycombed pattern, tooth pattern and the tooth pattern with banding.

④ The rollers with honeycombed pattern and tooth pattern are mainly used on pelletizing of

livestock feed.

⑤ The advantage of honeycombed pattern roller is uniform wearing for ring die, but poor in

material crimping.

⑥ The tooth pattern is good at material crimping and it is widely used in feed mill, but uneven

wearing of ring die.

⑦ The roller of tooth pattern with banding is mainly used on pelletizing of fish feed. It is not

easy to slip toward two sides during feed squeezing.

（5）Cutter assembly

The number of cutter that installed on the pellet mill is relevant to the number of rollers. There is

a squeezing zone formed by each roller and ring die, where needs two cutters. Each cutter consists of

blade, blade holder, cutter bar, cutter bar seat, locking grip, positioning busing, positioning locking

handle and handle, etc. See fig. 6-15.

Adjust the position of cutter and outer surface of ring die according to the length of pellet.

6-32
Usually, adjust the length for 2 ~ 3 times compare to the diameter of pellet.

The position adjustment for cutters should be followed as the procedures below:

1) Observe the cutters position before open the pellet mill access door, then loose the locking

handle and positioning locking handle of the cutter. In the meanwhile, pull the cutter bar through

handler in order to make the cutter get close to ring die for about 5 ~ 10mm, and then tighten the

locking handle and positioning locking handle.

2) Follow the same procedure to adjust another cutter.

3) After startup, adjust the cutter to a proper position to achieve the required pellet length, and

then tighten the locking handle and positioning locking handle.

（6）Front support assembly

Front support assembly includes front plate, eccentric scraper, roller adjustor and roller adjusting

screw rod. The front support assembly is a very import component for ensuring the stability of feed

distributing by roller and the gap between roller and rind die.

（7）Shear pin plate assembly

Shear pin plate assembly is a mechanical overload protective device on pellet mill. When the

pellet mill is running overload or suffering impact loading, which is larger than the pre-set safety

value, the shear pin locates on the back of pellet mill cracks, and rotates the pellet mill main shaft.

Thus, the safety switch of shear pin is triggered and the main motor is cut off. This can prevent

damage for ring die and gear. The shear pin plate assembly mainly consists of shear pin plate base,

copper bush, shear pin plate, shear pin bush and shear pin.
