Setup
Follow these steps to set up your feed pellet mill machine:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Initial Inspection: Check for any visible damage during shipping.
- Gear Oil Addition: Before first use, add gear oil to the gearbox. The oil level should reach half of the machine dipstick.
- Hopper Installation: Install the feed hopper onto the top of the machine.
- Discharge Chute Installation: Attach the discharge chute to the machine using the provided screws.
- Roller Adjustment: Ensure the nuts on both sides of the pressure rollers are balanced to avoid damage. The discharge speed can be adjusted by modifying the distance between the pressing roller and the grinding disc.
- Power Connection: Connect the machine to a 220V power supply. The machine is equipped with a circuit breaker for safety.

Operation
Once the machine is properly set up, follow these steps for operation:
- Prepare Raw Materials: Ensure your raw materials (e.g., corn, soybeans, hay, straw) are suitable for pelletizing. The total humidity of raw materials should be controlled at approximately 5%-10% for optimal results.
- Power On: Turn on the machine using the power switch.
- Feed Materials: Slowly pour the prepared raw materials into the enlarged feeding port. Refer to Video 1 (1:21-1:26) for a visual demonstration of feeding materials.
- Pellet Collection: The machine will process the materials and discharge pellets through the chute. Collect the finished pellets in a suitable container. Refer to Video 1 (1:26-1:38) for a visual demonstration of pellet discharge.
- Monitor Operation: Observe the machine during operation for any unusual noises or performance issues.
- Power Off: Once finished, turn off the machine and disconnect it from the power supply.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pellet mill machine.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean any residual material from the hopper, rollers, and grinding disc. Ensure the machine is disconnected from power before cleaning.
- Grinding Disc (Die) Replacement: The machine comes with a 4mm grinding disc. Other sizes (2mm, 3mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm) are available for different pellet requirements. Refer to Video 1 (0:07-1:04) for a visual guide on replacing the grinding disc.
- Loosen the four long screws holding the platen cavity.
- Lift up the platen cavity and remove the pressure rollers.
- Loosen the fixing clip and use a tool to remove the current grinding disc.
- Place the desired new grinding disc onto the machine.
- Reinstall the pressure rollers, platen cavity, and secure the four long screws in sequence.

- Lubrication: Regularly check and maintain the gear oil level as instructed in the setup section.
- Component Check: Periodically inspect pressure rollers, grinding discs, and other components for wear and tear. Replace worn parts as necessary.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your pellet mill machine, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine not starting | No power, faulty switch, circuit breaker tripped. | Check power connection, inspect switch, reset circuit breaker. |
| Poor pellet formation / inconsistent output | Incorrect raw material humidity, worn grinding disc/rollers, improper roller adjustment. | Adjust raw material humidity (5-10%), inspect and replace worn parts, adjust roller distance. |
| Machine making unusual noise | Loose components, foreign object, insufficient lubrication. | Inspect and tighten all fasteners, remove any foreign objects, check and add gear oil. |
| Overheating | Overloading, continuous operation for too long, insufficient ventilation. | Reduce load, allow machine to cool down, ensure adequate ventilation. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
