Turning wood and plastic byproducts into uniform pellets using a complete pelletizing system

The Complete Pellet Line from SALMATEC is a pelletizing system that includes multiple processes from conditioning raw materials and turning them into uniformly sized pellets. The entire system is specifically designed for the required product specifications. The conditioner helps the products achieve the optimum amount of moisture before feeding them to the pelletizer. The moisture content of raw materials can be controlled through a conditioning system in which the product moves inside a chamber while steam is also injected.

The pelletizer can be equipped with 2 or 3 rollers and multiple knives to cut the extruded products from the die into the necessary pellet size. The pellets then go to the cooler to prevent them from sticking to each other before storing them for at least one day in the silos. This process allows the structure of the pellets to stay intact and prevents them from breaking into tiny particles. Each complete system is designed according to the desired production capacity, raw material input, and high safety standards.

Producing pellets using a modular pelleting press with an energy-efficient direct drive

The MAXIMA Pellet Mill from SALMATEC is an industrial-grade pelletizer capable of producing pellets for various applications like feeds, woodchips, recycled plastics, and many more renewable raw materials. The system has a vertical ring die with optional 2 or 3 rollers that can be equipped with a cooling system. The rollers press the product through the ring die at the highest possible pressure before cutting it down to the right size with its adjustable knife. The system has a lifting frame to support heavy parts such as rollers and dies removed during maintenance.

The unit has a central lubrication system that automatically lubricates the rollers and the main bearings. A maintenance drive is equipped inside a well-ventilated housing for larger units to ensure slow and safe die rotation for work on the press tools. The system is made from high-quality materials and complies with the latest safety standards and guidelines. The Maxima provides energy efficiency and equal power transmission thanks to a one-step operated v-belt drive. The system is available in various capacities of up to 50 tons per hour, depending on the type of machine and product application.

Achieve a more efficient seeding process

The Seed pelleting machine by Seed Processing Holland is ideal for the conventional pelleting of seeds to make them better to sow. In other words, turning an oddly shaped seed into a perfectly shaped seed ready for germination and growth. By adding liquid and powders, the seeds are made more uniform, heavier, and as round as possible.

Boasting a polished stainless steel pan, this unit is designed with an opening that enables operators to visually follow the entire process and feed the necessary liquids and powders. A light fixture is further mounted in the pan to enhance its visibility. In order to ensure proper ventilation, a transparent dust suction hood is designed at the opening as well.

A compressed air spraying nozzle is also positioned near the opening of the steel plan, allowing operators to spray liquids on the seeds. Lastly, this unit boasts a maximum capacity of 1,000,000 pellets of 3.5mm and is suitable for different kind of seeds, including small flower seeds and larger vegetable seeds.
